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
-
February 22nd is the first Sunday in Lent and we invite you to join with Rev. Dr. Joshua Lawrence, our Minister of Worship & Congregational Life, for this special Lenten Communion service. He will preach a sermon entitled “It’s Already There” based on this week's reading from Genesis 2: 7-9, 15-17, 21-25, read by George Jolink. Our Gospel this week is Matthew 4: 1-6.

Since February is Black History Month, Minister of Music, Chris Fischer will continue to honour the contributions of Black musicians in this service through their Gathering Music, "There is a Balm in Gilead" arranged by Jason W. Krug. Our Laudamus Bells perform Lloyd Larson's arrangement of "Didn’t My Lord Deliver Daniel?" under the direction of Richard Frank as the week's Musical Reflection. Our congregational hymns are MV #18 "God, Prepare Me to Be a Sanctuary," VU #108 "Throughout These Lenten Days and Nights," TLUS #156 "O God, You Planted a Garden," TLUS #29 "When Jesus Sets the Table" and VU #633 "Bless Now, O God, the Journey." We will sing the Prayer of Jesus as set by Jason D. Locke in TLUS #70 "Our Creator in Heaven" and the traditional Argentine "Santo, santo, santo" from VU #951 for the Sung Acclamation during Communion. Chris will close the service with an organ arrangement of "Be Thou My Vision" which was recently written by Robert Hall to honour the 100th birthday of his mother this weekend.

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!
