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

Can you believe that this Sunday is August 2nd?! While Rev. Dr. Joshua Lawrence, our Minister of Worship & Congregational Life, is away on vacation we are pleased to have our very own Jess Huber lead our worship. Jess has been a member of our congregation for a number of years and is now a Candidate for Ordained Ministry in the United Church of Canada. On Sunday he will preach a sermon entitled “Wrestling with Reflection” based on this week's Scriptures. Jess will read Paul's Letter to the Romans 9: 1-5 and our Old Testament Reading will be Genesis 32: 22-31 which will be read by Mark Perry.

Minister of Music, Chris Fischer will open the service with VU # 374 "Come and Find the Quiet Centre." This hymn will serve as both Gathering and Candle Lighting Music. Chris is joined this Sunday by mezzo-soprano soloist Lesley Andrew. Lesley will present our Musical Reflection "Be Merciful unto Me, O God" by Michael Head. This anthem is based on the text of Psalm 57. Our Musical Offering selection will be Leonard Bernstein's "My House" from Peter Pan. Congregational hymns this week will be VU # 559 "Come, O Fount of Every Blessing," MV # 62 "There Is Room for All" and VU # 421 "Lead On, O Cloud of Presence." Chris will close the service from the organ with "If You but Trust in God to Guide You" by David Cherwien.

"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. (Hint: If you're using a handheld device, be patient. After you hit the "play" icon it takes a couple of minutes for the audio to load before it starts playing.)
"PostScript," is "taking a sabbatical" for a few weeks. Watch for its return following the Sept. 13 Homecoming Service.
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!
