Sunday Worship

Sunday October 13, 2024

This Thanksgiving we wrap up the Tree of Life theme we’ve been exploring during this Time of Creation in the Christian calendar. This week we consider the fruit and the seeds of the Tree of Life. Specifically, we explore the concept of first-fruits–offering the best of our harvest to God. What does that mean within a contemporary theology, where we aren’t necessarily seeking to ‘please’ God, but rather to worship and honour God and give thanks for the abundance in our lives. 

Presiding: Rev. Greg Powell
Music Lead: Jennifer Turner
Tech Team: Nathan McDormand, Jamie Waters, Steve Nichol
Christ Candle: Mahima Sylvester
Scripture: Owen McCooey
Scripture Reading: Leviticus 23:10-14

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.

Attending In Person?

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!
