Worship services at 10:30 AM starting on February 5, 2012: The Session of the LaHave-New Dublin Pastoral Charge met on January 10^th and took into consideration that since West Dublin United and West Side United Congregations are worshipping as one that the time of worship would be held at 10:30 AM each Sunday for the months of February, March, and April. The Session also agreed that beginning Sunday, May 5^th the time of worship for the warmer summer months would be held each week at 10:00 AM (as was the preferred time of worship from the evaluations received). The members of Session invite your feed back and thoughts on these variations of worship times.

Offering Plates to be located at the entrance to the Sanctuary: The Evaluations of the method in which weekly offering is collected were also reviewed at the recent meeting of the Session and 79% indicated support to continue to have the offering plates placed near the entrance rather than passed among the congregation during worship. The Session thanks all those who shared their opinions in the evaluations collected.
