School Musical rehearsals
Church
School Musical rehearsals are beginning this Sunday after church at
Woodville. Some of you may remember I wrote this play shortly after I
came to this church! But now I am hoping we can actually stage it.
With original songs (played and sung by the cast), this is a play within a play, based on the idea of High School Musical, but grounded in themes from I Corinthians 12, the Body of Christ. We will spend the next few months learning the songs, and hopefully stage the play over the summer, with performances in our own churches and beyond this fall.
Stay tuned for more information!

Health and
Wellness classes
Zumba classes start May 9 at 7:00 p.m., running until
the end of June. Instructor Karla Windatt will put us through the
workout for $10 a night.
Regular choir practices will continue this Friday April 27.
Maybe you didn't know, but a few faithful singers gather every Friday morning to sing and learn new songs to share with you on Sunday morning. We have recently started something new (out of necessity because we meet in the middle of the day), in that we record the practice for the upcoming Sunday for the member who cannot make regular rehearsals, but still wants to sing with us. If you are interested in joining us, we are flexible!
Our next rehearsal will be Friday, March 30 at 10:00 a.m.
Over the past two years many of us have gathered together once a month to share music, stories and refreshments! Our coffee houses travel back and forth from Woodville to Peniel; they are informal, and open to artists of all ages and levels of ability - we have beginners trying out their art on an audience for the first time! and we have some more accomplished musicians as well. Please join us next time it is offered - it is always fun and a wonderful evening of surprises. Who knew we have so much talent in our congregations? and such good cooks:-)
**New** Musicians, Poets and Singers Wanted
We are considering a new element to our Dinner Evenings at Woodville and Peniel United Churches. We would like to gather names of interested members of both congregations who would be interested in performing upstairs in the sanctuary for the people while they wait for room downstairs to eat. We anticipate following the same format we use on our monthly music nights, so several people would be able to perform during the 3 to 4 hours that the meal is being served. So, if you play guitar, fiddle, organ, piano or any other instrument, sing recite poetry or just want to tell a story, and you want to take part in making our fantastic meal evenings even better (if that’s possible) please send an e-mail to Kevin Calhoun at kcalhoun@xplornet.com or phone Kevin at 705-357-2492.
From our
Yoga instructor:
For those
who have been waiting to join us, don't worry, you won't be
left behind! And if there is anyone who has never done Yoga before or
who would like to try a modified version ("Chair Yoga") this is a great
class for you.
Classes are from Tuesday April 10 to Tuesday May 1, 6:30 - 7:30 pm. Bring a mat if you have one (let me know if you need one, I have extras) and wear comfortable clothing. Please eat lightly if at all - Yoga is best done on an empty stomach.
So far we have been concentrating on the alignment of the standing poses, movements of the vertebrae, and "Core" strengthening of the abdominal and lower back muscles. Printouts are available for several postures. We always end with a relaxation and guided meditation to refresh and rejuvenate the mind and spirit.
See you there!

Peniel, we don't have a sign-up sheet, but still welcome anyone to
consider how you can be involved on Sunday morning… Thank you to
everyone who has signed up!Bible
Study
We are two months into our
Bible study already!!… I think there are others who are also reading
along with us, even though they can't make the actual classes. I
encourage everyone to pray for us! If you would like to read along with
us, this week we are reading Daniel 9:1 - Matthew 26:56. Next Tuesday,
May 15, we are meeting at the church at 8:00 p.m.. May 22, 29 and June
5 we will meet at Wanda's.Woodville

Prayer Concerns
Erkie
DeVos has asked me to let you know that Dave McKague is doing the ride
for cancer, 200 km from Toronto to Niagara Falls, to raise funds for
the Princess Margaret Hospital. For more information or to support him,
please visit conquercancer.ca and type in his name. Angela Johansen,
Linda McKague's sister, has been diagnosed with cancer again and the
family is asking that we keep them in prayer.
