The Story of Michael Mouse | West Island ecumenical worship | December 29, 2024

Welcome to the Cedar Park United podcast!  On December 29, when several churches from the West Island of Montreal gathered for an ecumenical worship service, a whimsical version of the Christmas story was shared by a cast of people from the various congregations. It was so delightful, we’ve chosen to make it today’s podcast so that all of our communities of faith can laugh, smile and be inspired by this story of a little mouse who can’t figure out what his gift for the baby Jesus could possibly be.  This worship service was graciously hosted onsite and online by Merging Waters United Church. The story was adapted by Rev. Steve Gillam into “The Story of Michael Mouse” from the Wild Goose Publications’ story,  “Cloth for the Cradle”. The parts were voiced by the following people: Michael Mouse: Steve Gillam (Lakeshore Trinity United) Mrs. Ewe: Susan Barry, with Carling Barry and the kids (Merging Waters United)  Mrs. Hen: Martha Randy (Cedar Park United) Owl: Robert McLachlan (All Saints by the Lake Anglican Church) Cow: Lisa Beyer de Wever (Merging Waters) Cat: Terry Hidichuk (All Saints by the Lake Anglican Church) Connect with Cedar Park United here: ⁠⁠🔴cedarparkunited.org⁠⁠ ⁠⁠🟠youtube.com/c/CedarParkUnited⁠⁠  🟢⁠⁠facebook.com/cedarparkunitedchurch⁠⁠  🟣⁠⁠instagram.com/cedar_park_united
