From Norwood Session: re "Affirming”
Why is saying “all welcome” not enough?
Norwood Session plans to invite volunteers
to be part of a group to explore the process of
becoming an “Affirming” ministry within the United
Church, to confirm and explicitly express God’s call to be a community inclusive of people regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, ability, sexual orientation/identity and economic circumstance. Please speak with Rev. McLean for more information.

Norwood United "Green Fund"
We have established a ‘Green Fund’ for contributions toward our Solar Panel Project. (Donations will qualify for charitable receipts.) If you wish to give directly to the capital cost of the project (i.e. your donation will be applied to the contracted cost) please indicate this with your contribution, otherwise, contributions will be applied to interest payments on the Trust Account loan and follow-on environmental church projects. Contributions may be included in addition to Sunday envelope givings, through PAR, or directly by contacting the Church Office. Thank you for your generous support! (The Board of Stewards)
