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 is Black History Month, and on Sunday, February 1st, we invite you to join with Rev. Dr. Joshua Lawrence, our Minister of Worship & Congregational Life in a service which promotes the themes of love, solidarity, and justice. He will preach a sermon entitled “How Will They Know?” based on this week's reading from 1 John 5: 1-5, read by Nancy Quinn. Our Gospel this week is Luke 2: 22-38.

Minister of Music, Chris Fischer honours the contributions of Black musicians all month long with a selection of Spirituals and Gospel songs. Our Candle Lighting Hymn this week is the Black National Anthem "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing." Our Musical Offering is Moses Hogan's arrangement of "Walk Together Children." Chris will play Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's "Steal Away" and Michael Hassell's "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" on the piano to open and close the service. While not a Spiritual, Sunday's Musical Reflection, "The Hope of Loving" by Jake Runestad speaks to enduring love and faith. Our congregational hymns are "Let Justice Flow Down" by Douglas Romanow, MV #138 "My Love Colours Outside the Lines" and TLUS #129 "We Shall Overcome."

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. (Suggestion: the audio takes a few moments to load. Once you've opened the commentary link, wait about a minute before hitting the "play" icon.)
"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!
