This Sunday we continue with the third part of our Summer Light series drawn from “The Great Search,” a book written by John Philip Newell.

We’re invited into the inspiring world of Nan Shepherd, whose lifetime explorations into the Cairngorm Mountains of Scotland is essentially a story of universal relationship. Her love for the mountain’s landscape, creatures and plants reveals a depth of connection we all share with the natural world, yet most have forgotten.sunday There is much to learn from Nan’s experience and revelations of oneness, especially for those who long to belong.

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.

Sunday Jazz Matinee at James Bay United Church presents the Brooke Maxwell / Joey Smith / Damian Graham Trio!

(For those who joined us at our Mardi Gras celebration back in February: remember that crazy pianist in the bear costume? Well... he's back! ;)

Victoria’s own pianist, vocalist, tenor saxophonist, composer of hit musicals, and educator Brooke Maxwell assembles an all-star trio featuring bassist extraordinaire Joey Smith and the one-and-only Damian Graham on drums!

Drawing inspiration from the deep roots of swing and blues, the energy of early rock ’n’ roll, the rhythms of traditional Cuban music, and a healthy dose of humour, Brooke Maxwell is an accomplished and much-loved musician, admired by peers and audiences alike.

Join us for a magical afternoon of musical mayhem!

Admission by donation (suggested donation: $20).

There's still a little while to go before Games Night returns in September, and we know many of you are looking forward to gathering around the table once again.

We are still looking for someone to oversee this monthly activity beginning in the fall. If you're interested, please speak with Carol Garceau at the church.
