CHURCH NEWS

Lac Marois Union Church really does say "Welcome to

All"! Returning families to summer homes, children and

young people a-plenty, and many visitors filled our

beautiful lakeside house of worship on Sunday, July

10th. Representing several of the Churches in the

Laurentian Area Ministries of the United Church, there

were folk from St. Mungo's Cushing, Know Church,

Grenville, and Shawbridge and Lachute United Churches

who had come to share with us their lead minister, the Rev. Cathy Hamilton. Cathy entranced the

large group of youngsters with a hands-on demonstration of the regenerative power of water, and

then challenged us all to "go for it" as people sent out to share the Good News in acts of kindness

and love. (Jesus, in Luke 10 sends out 72 - in pairs! There were more than that number present

Sunday.)

Much of Sunday's service, including Cathy's sermon, flowed easily between English and French, as

did Jane Wheeler, her Lay Assistant and the choir, ably led as usual by Georgia Copland, with Hedy

Edelstein at the organ and piano. Two brave members from Youth Club led the children merrily off for

a session of learning and play in the club following the children's story.

Many thanks are due Nicole Fauré and all who responded to her invitation to bring contributions to

the beautiful lunch served in the Club following the service. It provided a wonderful opportunity to

catch up with families who have just arrived for the summer.

Next Sunday is another "special", as we will gather on the shore at 5:00 p.m. for a hymn-sing, a

relatively new custom to mark the Sunday after PNO by moving from our usual morning hour.

Dear Membership,

So, for those of you who were at the Church service on Sunday, you heard the service offered bilingually, sometimes changing languages within one sentence. Despite not living in Quebec for the last 15 years, I am going to embrace the Reverend’s approach and just mix it up.

The first two days of the first session went very smoothly. Merci au soleil qui nous a bien accueilli. Les tout-petits on voulu aller dans l’eau and as we know, that is half the battle!

PNO est samedi prochain. S.V.P., S.V.P. contacter Maeve et Michael Lee pour acheter/reserver vos billets. Ça leur aide beaucoup à planifier. The last thing a Hipster needs is to run short on craft beer! For all of our lovely new families, PNO should actually be renamed Adult’s Night Out because it is an annual party hosted by a different family each year to give us an opportunity to hang out together, to have full conversations and where we do not need to dash off in pursuit of a child mid-sentence. Pendent notre soirée, les jeunes passant leur nuit en dormant au Club sous la surveillance du staff. I hope to see as many of you as possible at the Lee house Saturday night!

This weekend is also the Mixed-Doubles tennis tournament. If you have not signed up already, please reach out to Matt Mulcair. Even if you do not have a partner, he will pair you with someone to make it fun. C’est vraiment un tournoi amusant, alors inscrivez-vous per importe voter capacité. To make it even more fun, the final will be on Sunday, post PNO, so it promises to be something to watch!

Don’t forget about the Sunday Hymn sing lakeside at 5pm.

Peace Out , Your Prez

Tara Marsh (channeling her inner Hippy)

DIRECTOR’S LETTER

Hello everyone!

With beautiful weather and lots of enthusiastic kids and staff, we have had a great start to

the summer! It’s been great to see so many people on the beach everyday. With action packed days,

I think it’s safe to say we’ve all been sleeping very well!

This summer, we are adding time trials to swim team. Kids participating in swim team can

ask a staff member (at any point in the day) to time their different strokes. They are encouraged to

do this several times throughout the summer to see how they are progressing!

A reminder that the PNO sleepover is on Saturday! Please remember to sign up your kids on the

poster outside the clubhouse. If your child has any medical conditions or allergies that we should be

aware of, please let us know.

Looking forward to another great week of lessons!

Day at the Lake by Marianne Homsy

Bonjour tout le monde!

Ce fut un merveilleux début de la session avec du beau temps et plein de staff et d’enfants

enthousiasmés! Ca me chauffe le cœur de voir tant de membres sur notre plage ensoleillée. Je suis

sure que tout le monde dort aussi bien que moi après ces journées aussi remplies.

Cet été, nous ajoutons des “time trials” au swim team. Ca veut dire que les enfants peuvent

demander à un staff de chronométrer leur nages a n’importe quel moment durant la semaine.

Comme ca, les enfants peuvent suivre leur progrès de façon concrète.

Un rappel que ce samedi les enfants de 6-12 ans sont invites à venir dormir au Club avec les Staff.

SVP inscrivez-vous au devant du Clubhouse. Si votre enfant a des conditions médicales ou des

allergies SVP nous avertir.

Au plaisir de passer une autre merveilleuse semaine avec vous ☺

Ready for Swim Team by Marcus Lee

THE FOUR CORNERS

Hello fellow canoers! The past week has been amazing and

I have a feeling that the next few weeks will be too! As kids

start canoeing for the fi rst time, we go over the basics, such as

holding the paddle, sitting in the canoe, and stroking properly.

It has been pretty windy, but the challenge will only make

the kids better. Over the next two weeks, we will continue

to practice their canoeing skills as well as learn some basic

survival and camping skills in order to be more prepared for

the trips. The canoeing A trip (13-14 year olds) will be August

6th to 8th at Tremblant. The canoeing B trip (11-12 year olds)

will be August 16th to 17th in Papineau-Labelle.

Keep up the hard work!

Hi all!

The Parent-Child Tennis Tournament was held this weekend

and although there was on and off rain throughout the day, the

tournament was a huge success. I would like to congratulate the

winners of the event as well as the fi nalists in each division. In the

11 and under division, Sean and Harry Mulcair won the champion-

ship against Guy and Liam Faure in a come from behind victory.

In the 14 and under division, Caroline and Danny Miller took down

Graham and Brennan Campbell in a heavyweight battle. Thanks

to all the participants for participating and to Matt Mulcair and

Julia Vrentas for the help in organization.

Next weekend is the Mixed Doubles Tournament so don’t forget to

let Matt know if you are interested in playing.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the courts this week,

Tom

Hi everyone! I’m Sid, and I’m this summer’s Head of Sailing!

This summer, I will be trying to incorporate a little bit more

theory into the lessons because I feel that it is extremely

important to have a good understanding of the wind and the

boats before heading out on the water. Make sure you come

prepared to the lessons with a life jacket, sunscreen, and a

hat!

I’m really looking forward to a great two sessions on the

water!!

SidGillian

Hey LMCC!

I could not have asked for a more amazing fi rst week!

Swimming lessons are going super well and the weather

has been absolutely beautiful! Please remember to

apply sunscreen before going in the water. Just a

quick reminder that mid-season progress reports will

be handed out on Monday, July 11th. If you have any

questions, please feel free to speak to me. I hope

everyone has a great rest of the week!

Keep up the good work, swimmers!

Everybody Loves… JUNIOR CLUB!!

(and Arts & Drama and Tween Club ☺)

Hi guys!

I could not have asked for a better way to start off an amazing summer – the weather was

beautiful and the activities this week were really big hits! Everyone in Junior Club had a great time

making their own Play Dough and decorating their containers. In addition, the kids in Arts and Drama

put together some “top secret” fun for the session. I cannot wait to see all the smiles that are in-store as

the session progresses! If you have any questions, please feel free to come speak to me! See you at the

club ☺

They were the first couple to be married at the LMUC! This photo features the new couple

leaving the church. Don’t they look wonderful?!

For those with sharp eyes: 1956 pre-dates the stained glass window that now faces the

Clubhouse. Does anyone know what year the window was installed or the story behind it?
