Sunday May 19th, 2024
Join us for our Sunday service on May 19, 2024, at James Bay United Church for Pentecost Sunday. Rev. Greg Powell will be preaching this Sunday. Every day, our attention is drawn to one crisis or another. Some use the term "polycrisis" to describe all that may be troubling humankind these days. One theme that is common to many or all of these crises is the question -- or crisis -- of belonging. "Do I belong here?" is a question we might ask regularly these days, not simply in a church context, but in the context of all that is going on. The Pentecost readings point to an answer: yes, you do belong! In God and with God, each of us belongs. But can we reach across differences to offer that deep belonging to others who are struggling to answer that question for themselves? Don't miss this inspiring service as we explore themes of unity, faith, and community.

___________________
Our worship each Sunday is intended to be a collective experience, a communal practice.
We might step into whatever is our sanctuary, each one of us as individuals, and yet as we assemble, from wherever we are, we become a people, drawn together through song and prayer, through word and ritual, and through the Spirit who breathes through it all, through us all.
One and the same Spirit uniting us breathing us into life!
