Fort Massey United Church Photo Directory

May 2012

On May 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Universal Portrait Studios (of Church Point) took pictures of the members of Fort Massey United Church for inclusion in a photo directory of our congregation. We thank the members of the committee who worked on getting the people of Fort Massey United Church to sign to have their pictures taken: Ian MacDonald (coordinator), Jean Brown, Linda Dean, Susan Lidstone, and Alison McDonald (phone volunteers).

We would appreciate it if you could let the church office know of anyone who missed out on getting their pictures taken, but would still like to get a picture in the directory.

All member households who got their photos taken for the directory will be receiving an 8"x10" print of their photo and a copy of the directory.  The photos will be delivered to the church when they are ready in early June.  A notice will be printed in the Sunday Bulletin and posted on this website to let you know when they will be available for pickup.  The directory will come out later. 

Spirit Connectors group visit to the Maritime Sikh Society Gurdwara

March 22, 2012
On March 22 the Spirit Connectors study group had a visit to the Maritime Sikh Society Gurdwara (Temple).  They were welcomed by four men of the Sikh Sangat (Congregation).  We all proceeded to the upper level--where the congregational worships take place--and were invited to bow before the scriptures as we were able.  This is as it is done by the members of the congregation as they enter into worship.  Mr. Gurmeet Singh Matharu then gave the group a brief synopsis of the Sikh Faith, Its history and beliefs.  Mr. Ian MacDonald then joined Mr. Matharu to add some additional information and get question and answer going.  Following this we all went down to the lower level--where the congregational meal (Guru Ka Langar) is usually served following the weekly services.  There we were served tea (Indian style with milk and cardamom), gulab jamuns (sweets), and samosas (vegetable stuffed pastries).  Before leaving and after extending our thanks to our hosts we posed for a group picture.
