Looking for a few precious moments of peace and perspective in your busy week? We hold worship services each Sunday at 10:30am.
Our worship ministry has many components that are updated each week. We encourage you to "mix and match" the pieces to find out what works best for you.
WORSHIP UPDATE

Sunday, September 13th is Homecoming Sunday and we are excited to welcome everyone back to church after, what we hope was a fantastic summer! Please join Rev. Dr. Joshua Lawrence, our Minister of Worship & Congregational Life, for worship. Christina Lindsay, our Children's & Youth Program Coordinator is very excited to greet our younger members and welcome them back for a new season of Worship & Wonder. This week's first Scripture is Romans 14: 1-12, which will be read by Mike Bancroft. Our Gospel reading will be Matthew 18: 21-35. Pastor Joshua will preach a sermon entitled “Forgetting Forgiveness” based on these passages.

Minister of Music, Chris Fischer is thrilled to welcome back the FSA Adult Choir this week. Our service will begin at 10:15am with Singing Solidarity, hymns to inspire hope & resilience. After this, we will be joined by a ukulele group of Christine Cavers, Gillian Channer, Jess Huber, Susan McKane & Barb Ridgewell who will lead us in our Gathering / Candle Lighting Music, "This Little Light of Mine." Sunday's Musical Reflection is Craig Hella Johnson's choral arrangement of "Light of a Clear Blue Morning" to honour the life & work of Dolly Parton. This anthem will feature soprano soloist, Sonja Gustafson, and Marg Trethewey on flute. Our Musical Offering will be an adaptation of Emil Adler's "Turn" by Carrie Tennant. This anthem introduces a new soprano to our Choir, Sophie Wilhelm. This week's congregational hymns are all from Then Let Us Sing, #150 "Here in This Place," #159 "Way way way," #99 "I Am Sending You Light," #135 "Send Your Peace," #138 "Let's Go Together" (accompanied by Roland Beach & Jess Huber, guitars), #127 "We Resist" and #149 "Yeshuko pachhi / I Have Decided to Follow Jesus." Our ukulele group will send us out with the Traditional Gospel song "This Train Is Bound for Glory."

Ready for a break from all your screen time? Why not join either the Fall or Winter/Spring session of Bible Study on Thursdays at 11am? It's much more than Bible Study, though. We discuss the message of the Bible through the lens of a book or commentary. Contact the church office for details. We'd love to see you in person!
From September through to December 2026 our theme will "Technology and the Spirit." Our first session is Thursday, September 24. Get a listing of the texts and themes for the fall here.
