Please note that our Sunday Service begins at 10:30. You are warmly invited to gather with us from 10:15 am, in our Sanctuary or online, for a time of musical reflection.
How fitting that this Sunday — on Victoria’s Pride Parade day — we would be launching into our "Summer Light" series drawn from J. Philip Newell’s book, "The Great Search: Turning to Earth & Soul in the Quest for Healing & Home", with its overarching theme of seeking and nurturing the spiritual vision of Earth’s sacredness in all its varied dimensions and in the sacredness of every human being.
We will be invited to linger a while with Julian of Norwich — that 14th century mystic whose "revelations of divine love" assured her that ALL beings are beloved of God. That all beings are inseparably connected with one another and with our sacred Earth. That "all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well" — this promise of an ever expanding spiral of oneness and wellness for all.

_________________________________
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!
