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, April 5th is Easter Sunday and we invite you to celebrate with us! Worship this morning will be led by Rev. Dr. Joshua Lawrence, our Minister of Worship & Congregational Life. He is joined by Jill Kennedy who will read our first scripture from Isaiah 49: 1-13. Our Gospel reading is John 20: 1-18. Today's sermon is entitled "Showing Up: Resurrection as Refusal" and it is based on both of these passages. This service will include Easter Communion.

Celebratory Easter music in our service this morning is lead by Minister of Music, Chris Fischer, and our Senior Choir. They are joined by our Youth Choir, Reverberations, for our Candle Lighting Music "God, I Will Lift Mine Eyes" from TLUS #42 and our Opening Hymn. The Senior Choir will present "The Rain Is Over and Gone" by Paul Halley with soprano soloist, Sonja Gustafson, and Moses Hogan's arrangement of "The Battle of Jericho." Today's congregational hymns feature some new twists on old favourites: Chris Fischer's arrangement of "Joyful, Joyful We Adore You," the sung Prayer of Jesus from TLUS #70 "Our Creator in heaven," VU #951 "Santo, Santo, Santo / Holy, Holy, Holy," Communion Hymn TLUS #28 "I’m Gonna Eat at the Welcome Table" and Andrew Donaldson's new words to "Jesus Christ is Risen Today."

"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!
