Zoom Cafés
We have introduced regular virtual social hangouts, Zoom Cafés, for those of you who may be interested. Depending on whether you have a computer with internet access, telephone conference calls or virtual video chatting could be set up for this purpose.
We have scheduled our next virtual coffee/tea/wine break for parents with young children. It will be held on Tuesday, June 2nd, at 8h45 pm via Zoom. There is no agenda for this meeting. We hope that many of you will be able to join us. If you are interested, please send an email to Luc Lamadeleine at luc@duuo.ca and he will provide you with the Zoom Meeting details.
Wondering what’s coming next?
While you have time to consider what’s important in life, what societal gains do you think, or hope, might arise as a result of covid19? Watch for upcoming zoom discussions on topics like this. Contact Annemarie Humenuk at kayakforever@gmail.com if this type of forum interests you and/or you have suggestions for possible topics.
Additionally, we encourage you to check out the new “Coronavirus Connections” section of our website for a calendar of all of our virtual events: http://orleansunitedchurch.com/covid-19-updates/
If these virtual social visits interest you, please let us know and keep in mind that although some of you may already be quite connected virtually, this may be an opportunity to reach out to others who may be desperately seeking to connect with others during this most difficult time.
Should you have any questions, please call or email Luc Lamadeleine at 613-296-3155 or luc@duuo.ca.

Galatians 6:2 ESV – Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
By now, it is likely that we have all embraced the need to keep a “physical distance” from one another and to practice “self-isolation” in an effort to protect ourselves and those around us from this novel coronavirus and to “flatten the curve.” Unfortunately, this prevents us from having face to face, in person, social visits with one another. Despite this constraint, there are a number of ways for us to stay connected with each other during this unprecedented time.
At this time, we would like to introduce regular virtual social hangouts, Zoom Cafés, for those of you who may be interested. Depending on whether you have a computer with internet access, telephone conference calls or virtual video chatting could be set up for this purpose.
