October 22, 2011
Dear Friends:
The “Ways and Means Committee” of St. Mark's United Church are pleased to announce that our congregation will be holding a Memorial Hymn Sing on Sunday, November 20th at 2:30 p.m. A Memorial Hymn Sing is an opportunity to offer thanks for the lives of deceased loved ones and honour them in a sharing of joyful, sacred music.
In order that we might continue and enrich our ministry in the Port Hawkesbury community, St. Mark's are reaching out to people like you who have strong and loving ties to our congregation. We need your support to help us continue our mission and ministry in this place. We hope that you'll consider supporting us by remembering your loved ones at this special service of song. A candle will be lit with each selection of music as the names of those being remembered and those of donors are read.
We know that this afternoon of sacred song will be uplifting and inspiring. We hope you will join with our talented choir director and accompanist Al Fougére and the Community Choir as we raise our voices in praise and remembrance. Please share information about the Memorial Hymn Sing with neighbours, friends and relatives. A time of light refreshment will follow the service.
We ask that you select a hymn or medley from the accompanying list and complete the attached hymn request form. Please place the request form and your donation in the offering plate or return to the address below by November 10th to ensure that your memorial will be printed in the Memorial Hymn Sing bulletin.
