Sunday, April 27, 2025
This Sunday as we continue our journey through this springtime season of Easter, we also celebrate Earth Sunday – a day in which we would pause to acknowledge and uphold creation with its vast diversity and splendour, its fragility and resilience. In the Reflection and through all the dimensions of our worship experience, we will honour creation as being infused with the very essence of God. In that honouring, what would it be for us to know – really know in the depths of our beings – that same Holy source of life germinating within us renewal, rebirth and indeed, resurrection!

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!
