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
-
On Sunday, September 27th we will honour the upcoming National Day for Truth & Reconciliation. We invite you to wear your orange shirt and join Rev. Dr. Joshua Lawrence, our Minister of Worship & Congregational Life, for worship. He will be joined by Torsten Young who will read our Opening Prayer. We will also welcome Natasha Evans for our Puppet Ministry during which she will speak to our young people about Orange Shirt Day. Thanks to Roland Beach and Chris Wood for bringing our puppets to life. This week's sermon, entitled “Emptied and Opened,” is based on the Scripture, Philippians 2: 1-13, which will be read by Pearl Soewu. This week’s Gospel reading will be Matthew 21: 23-32.

In honour of Truth & Reconciliation, Minister of Music, Chris Fischer will open our service with our Gathering / Candle Lighting Hymn, "Way way way," a Traditional Anishnaabe lullaby. Later, they will lead the choir in the Musical Reflection "Omaa biindig" by Cree composer Andrew Balfour. The Ojibway text of this anthem speaks to the beauty of our natural world. Sunday's Musical Offering will be Brian Tate's "Tear Down These Walls." Congregational hymns this week will be TLUS #139 "Love Over Hate," "I Am a Child of God" by Chris Fischer, MV #76 "If I Have Been the Source of Pain" and TLUS #22 "Build a Longer Table." We will also be singing the Hebrew translation of the Prayer Response hymn from last week, TLUS #135 "Send Your Peace." Chris will close the service from the organ with Mark Sedio's arrangement of the hymn tune from "Build a Longer Table."

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 be "Technology and the Spirit." Our first session is Thursday, September 24. Get a listing of the texts and themes for the fall here.
