Hello Rothwell!
We're back this week with another worship service on our YouTube channel. I had a nice break, but it's good to be back looking for creative ways to help us stay connected and worship as a church family. Trina's announcement page is below and also on the "Our Rothwell Family page".
Star Words: We are still subject to a stay-at-home order, so it doesn't seem right to ask folks to venture out to collect their stars. If you would like a star, please let me know by sending an email to mikeperreault@rogers.com, or by hitting me up on Facebook. We'll randomly assign a star word to you and arrange for a pick-up date when the coast is clear.
Link to Our YouTube Channel: Follow this link on Sunday morning and you'll see this week's video.

As the new year is still new, Rev. Mike and Trina have come up with a way to keep the tradition of sponsoring a bulletin cover going. We are changing them to video covers, and they will be broadcast during the Sunday Youtube service. The cost will be $20.00 and all money collected will be used to pay for video equipment.
Please email the office rothwellunited@rogers.com with the details of your video cover and the Sunday you would like to broadcast your memory or celebration. As other years, we will not be offering this for July and August.
Please note bulletin covers on your offering envelopes.

Snow Moles are volunteers who report on what it’s like to walk outside on a winter day in Ottawa. Anyone can be a snow mole, but we are particularly looking for seniors and children to participate, as well as people who use mobility devices (e.g. canes, walkers, and wheelchairs).You are invited to ensure healthy, accessible, and safe winter walking conditions in Ottawa, by becoming a Snow Mole and completing a Winter Walkability and Pedestrian Safety Audit.Your answers will be part of a 2021 Winter Walking in Ottawa – Snow Mole Report shared with the City of Ottawa for their Winter Maintenance Quality Standards Review.You can be a snow mole:Pick a time of day when you need to go out (best after some winter weather has occurred such as a. snowfall or freezing rain), and a destination (e.g. bus stop, grocery store, school, bank, seniors centre, or library).Use the Snow Mole questionnaire to audit your walk.Take and submit photos to snowmoles@coaottawa.ca. When sending pictures, include the date, time, and location the photo was taken!For more information and the questionnaire: contact us at snowmoles@coaottawa.ca or613-789-3577 ext. 103
