Accessibility leads to (temporary) inaccesibility

Written by Unity United Church. Posted in Accessibility Project 2014, News

Well folks, the accessibility project continues at Unity. Pretty exciting really. We are lucky/blessed to have the funds, the builders and the human resources to make this happen. Special thanks to the building team for their leadership and vision during this time. Photo 2014-03-23, 10 02 45 Right now, we have hit a rather ironic point in the process. In order to be accessible, we need to endure some temporary inaccesibility. We are really, really sorry about that.  For all intents and purposes, our church is a worksite right now and we need to make sure that those who use the downstairs portion of the building while construction is happening do so safely. And sometimes, the safest place for those of us who don’t have safety equipment or safety clothing can be is away from the work site while work is going on. So…this week, the office will be relocating to our Music Director’s home. Our worship committee will also be meeting there. Our Jesus 24/7 program and our Sounds of Silence programs are going on hiatus until June. Please keep an eye on this page for further details. If you need to reach us, send an email. They are still being checked during this exciting time! 

Working from Home March 12, 2014

IMG_1109Another morning in March, another snow day. That picture is on the 400 Northbound.

Yesterday, the weather was gorgeous—denim jacket wearing weather, sunshine streaming through the car window weather, crank up the tunes and roll the window down weather (until you realize it’s not THAT warm.)  The outside temperature according to my car’s thermometer was 7 degrees. Seven! Perfect day for the drive to Presbytery meetings. (Close to 7 hours worth!)

But that was yesterday.

And today, we have this…with the possibility of the temperature dipping to -29.

So, I will be working from home today. Unity folk know how to reach me. If you need to reach me and you’re not sure how to do that, drop me a line through this website. I’ll be checking it a LOT today. (Please click “>>” to see the rest of the message)

Gifts We Don’t Ask For But Get Anyway

MR900412466Ever get a gift that you didn’t ask for?

I did–it was a roasting pan. 

Now the reason I got the gift was because my other roasting pan was too big for my new stove. So on the one hand, I’m glad I have it. But on the other hand, that means I have to find time to use it. 

Sometimes, surprise gifts can cause problems…..(Please click “>>” to see the rest of the message)
