Rev. Jean Ward ~ A Farewell Gathering
Fairlawn Avenue United Church 28 Fairlawn Avenue, Toronto, Toronto, CanadaAs you know, Rev. Jean Ward’s time with Fairlawn is coming to a close. We celebrate Jean with a party after service on Sunday, June 23 at 11:30am. We want to send her off with special memories and invite you write a message to Jean. Perhaps you recall a story that illustrates what her time at Fairlawn has meant to you, or how she has enriched our community of faith, maybe you remember a funny anecdote, or simply wish to write words of thanks. Please take some time before the celebration on June 23 to write your thoughts in a card or letter. We will have a Memory Box at Jean’s farewell where you can deliver your special message. If you are unable to attend the celebration, you can either place your note in the Memory Box in the church office after June 10 or put it in the mail addressed to Joanne Christie and the words ‘Memory Box’ on the back of the envelope.

Tai Chi with Rob Metcalf – Spring 2024
Fairlawn Avenue United Church 28 Fairlawn Avenue, Toronto, Toronto, CanadaJoin Rob Metcalf for this 10-week series of Tai Chi Monday afternoons at 3:15pm to 4:30pm, April 15 – June 24. (Please note – there is NO CLASS on Monday, May 20 – Victoria Day ). To register or for information, please contact Rob at . This gentle form of exercise can help maintain strength, flexibility, and balance. Tai chi is often described as “meditation in motion,” but it might well be called “medication in motion.” There is growing evidence that this mind-body practice, which originated in China as a martial art, has value in treating or preventing many health problems. You don’t need to subscribe to or learn much about tai chi’s roots in Chinese philosophy to enjoy its health benefits, but these concepts can help make sense of its approach: Qi — an energy force thought to flow through the body; tai chi is said to unblock and encourage the proper flow of qi. Yin and yang — opposing elements thought to make up the universe that need to be kept in harmony. Tai chi is said to promote this balance.
