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.

2021 version of Bulletin Covers
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.
