PowerOttawaValleyToursTMConnected to your communityNew video projectionsystem at St. ThomasPat McNallySpecial to the NewsEMC news - St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsvillehas inaugurated a new video projection system inits worship space.A large screen has been positioned at the front of thechurch so that everyone in attendance can see and takepart in the progression of the songs and liturgy throughoutthe service.This new system was introduced, somewhat appropriately,on Pentecost Sunday which was Sunday, May 19.Pentecost is regarded as the birthday of the church oftoday, with the Holy Spirit descending on the apostlesand giving them the vigour and enthusiasm to spread thegospel of the Lord. Now, that gospel is being presented atSt. Thomas with the assistance of modern technology inthe form of this new video projection system.The use of a combination of prayer and hymn bookshas long been a mainstay in workshop services at St.Thomas Anglican Church, as with many other churches.This new video projection system in the worship spaceat the church now provides the opportunity for the congregationto experience the worship service in a “handsfree”environment – no more reliance on prayer and hymnbooks as everything will be displayed on the screen.This new video projection system has also been incorporatedinto the church’s existing audio setup. This willallow for the showing of videos with complete soundenhancement.Worship services are held at St. Thomas AnglicanChurch every Sunday at both 8:30 a.m. and at 10:30a.m.St. Thomas Anglican Church is located at the cornerof Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street inStittsville.The church has a presence on the web and on Facebookat http://stthomasstittsville.ca/index.htmlHelpDownsizing.comThinking of Selling, Downsizing or Moving?We Can Help! 613-623-5903 0307.R0011961251MOTORCOACH HOLIDAYSA DAY AWAYFather’s Day Luncheon CruiseJune 16 ....................................................................$112A Taste of Prince Edward County “Picton & Bloomfield”June 18 / August 13 ...............................................$133Balderson Village & Heritage PerthJune 19 / September 13 ............................................. $85Montreal Cruise & CasinoJune 19 / July 26..................................................... $119Lady Slipper Orchids & The Cove Country InnJune 20 ......................................................................$96Finnegans Flea Market & BreweryJune 22 / August 24 .................................................$92A Nature Paradise “Montreal Biodome & Botanical Gardens”June 25 / July 20.......................................................$90Chateau Montebello, Lachute Flea Market & CasinoJune 25 / July 23..................................................... $112Wine Tasting in the IslandsJune 26 / August 28 ............................................... $114“The Piano Men”, Brockville Arts CentreJune 27 ....................................................................$124Vermont Quilt FestivalJune 29 ......................................................................$98Watertown, NY ShoppingJuly 13 / September 14 ............................................$62We Make Your Vacation Dreams Come True!Travel Reg.#2967742 & 5000006ottawavalleytours.com1642 Merivale Road(Merivale Mall) NepeanTravel Reg.#2967742-5000006613-723-57011-800-267-5288Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, May 30, 2013 17R0012124063
