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
-
It seems as though this summer is speeding by! We are already at the end of July!

Rev. Dr. Joshua Lawrence, our Minister of Worship & Congregational Life, is away on vacation for the next three Sundays and in his absence, we are pleased to welcome our very own Jess Huber to lead our worship. Jess has been a member of our congregation for a number of years and is now a Candidate for Ordained Ministry in the United Church of Canada. This week, on Sunday, July 26th, he will preach a sermon entitled “The Spirit of God is Calling” based on this week's reading from Paul's Letter to the Romans 1: 1-6 & 8: 26-30. Our Old Testament Reading will be Genesis 29: 15-28 which will be read by Rev. Annie Jannaway.

On Sunday morning we will be blessed by the gifts of two musical guests. Katerina Juraskova on cello & Gary McCumber on clarinet will present our Musical Reflection, "Andante" (Piano Trio in g minor, op. 17) by Clara Schumann. Later in the service, Katerina will play Josef Suk's "Serenade in A Major," (op. 3) for the Musical Offering. Minister of Music, Chris Fischer will open the service with VU # 205 "Like the Murmur of the Dove’s Song." This hymn will serve as both Gathering and Candle Lighting Music. Our other congregational hymns will be MV # 79 "Spirit, Open My Heart," VU # 375 "Spirit, Spirit of Gentleness" and VU # 333 "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling." Gary will close the service with "Canzonetta," (op. 19) by Gabriel Pierné

GROW YOUR FAITH! Listen to recent sermons on your portable device. You can take us with you to your workout, on your daily commute, or whenever and wherever you have some personal time.
"Deep Dive" provides an audio commentary on the most recent Sunday message. Listen to a thoughtful discussion by using this link and once there, go to the STUDIO section and open the commentary link there. (Hint: If you're using a handheld device, be patient. After you hit the "play" icon it takes a couple of minutes for the audio to load before it starts playing.)
"PostScript," produced weekly, is an intimate five-minute video in which Pastor Joshua reflects on the message of the past Sunday. Give it a try!
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!
