Sunday August 11, 2024
This Sunday’s reflection will focus on the themes of hope, redemption, and spiritual nourishment in times of political and social challenge. Drawing from Psalm 130 and John 6, we will explore how crying out to God from the depths of our struggles invites us to trust in His unfailing love and find sustenance in Christ, the Bread of Life. As a community, we are called to embody this hope and nourishment, supporting one another and advocating for justice and peace in our world.
Join us as we reflect on living out our faith in action and love. We are pleased to welcome members of Fairfield United Church as they attend our worship service on Sunday, August 11th. Please join us for a service that will be filled with fellowship, faith, and unity.

Update on Masking for Sunday Morning Worship
As we continue to discern what is the best masking practice at any given moment, for this next stretch of time we are lifting our requirement for masking during Sunday morning worship. However, if you are feeling more comfortable to continue wearing a mask, you are most welcome to do so. And as always, if you are feeling unwell, please enjoy worshipping from home via our very fine streamed services.
____________________________
Sunday service is also live-streamed from the sanctuary at 10:15am Sunday morning. Please participate, live on YouTube. The platform has the option for you to add your comments, prayers and concerns in the live chat window. You may also choose to write your prayers down, speak them aloud during the service, or send your prayer requests to us via email. Arrive at 10:15am to greet each other, then the service will begin right at 10:30am.
___________________
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!
