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, July 5 we invite you to join with Rev. Dr. Joshua Lawrence, our Minister of Worship & Congregational Life, for worship. You will notice that our services will look a little different as we are making a few changes to our FSA worship experience. Beginning this week, we will open with our Candle Lighting and after a few announcements, you will be invited to Share the Peace of Christ with your neighbours. Pastor Joshua will then continue with his Land Acknowledgement and Opening Prayer. This week, he will preach a sermon entitled “The Epistemology of Love” based on our Scripture reading, Song of Solomon 2: 8-13, which will be read by Anne Cummings. We will also welcome David Beach to deliver an Outreach Moment.

Minister of Music, Chris Fischer will open the service with TLUS #142 "As a Parent Holds a Child." This hymn will serve as both Gathering and Candle Lighting Music. Chris will be accompanied by this week's guest musician, Kathleen Gahagan, on harp. The congregation will be invited to join on the third verse of this hymn. Kathleen will perform our Musical Reflection, "My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose" and our Musical Offering, "Be Thou My Vision." Both of these selections are arranged by Sylvia Woods. This week's congregational hymns are TLUS #139 "Love Over Hate," VU #367 "Come Down, O Love Divine" and our Sung Prayer Response TLUS #105 "May You Be Held." Chris will close the service with Mark Sedio's "Come Down, O Love Divine," from the organ.

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!
