Dear Friends,
Our congregations of Rockwood and Stone met on March 15 and decided to move our community activities online and on the phone for the coming days to care for each other and support our governments and health care workers in managing COVID-19.
Our activities - Good Friday Worship, the Food Fight, Rockwood's Breakfasts and Variety Show will not happen for now. Our Worship, Bible Study and other small groups have moved online.
Connecting
We have set up congregational circles by phone and/or internet. Each household makes at least one call and receives at least one call each week. This call is a check-in to stay connected and a great chance to get to know each other better. Please email Heather hleffler@rogers.com if you would like to be part of one of our circles.
The circle is just to make sure no one is missed. Please call others from time to time to keep connected.
Contemplation and Conversation
Contemplation and Conversation is sent out each Sunday, posted here and on Facebook.
Announcements
We continue to send announcements on Thursday and post Life in Our Churches.
Online/On the phone
We worship each Sunday at 10 am on ZOOM. You can join us on your device or by phone. Join us at 9:30 am to catch up. Email me for a link to join us. Our Bible Study, Book Club, other groups and meetings have moved online as well.
Help with Groceries, Errands etc.
A number of volunteers are willing to help you with groceries and other errands if you would rather not go out into crowded spaces or are needing to self isolate. Contact the church for rockwoodstoneuc@gmail.com.

Welcome
Thanks for stopping by our website. Now that you are here, why not get to know us better. Feel free to email any questions to our office at rockwoodstoneuc@gmail.com or me at hleffler@rogers.com. Our small United Church congregations are located east of Guelph. Drop in for Worship or one of our many activities. You will find worship filled with wonderful music, conversation that includes people of all ages, activities for children and young people and my message reflecting on the good news found in the Epistles and where God is active in our lives, churches and the world. If you aren't able to join us for worship this Sunday, check out Contemplation and Conversation page. What you will find in our churches that you can't find on this page are
Blessings, Heather |
