Special Announcement!

Tuesday Night Jazz is taking it to the streets - on Saturday afternoon!

Please join us for a special Saturday afternoon concert:
July 31 from 3 PM until 5 PM!

Get ready to step into a fresh and refreshing experience each Sunday morning this month.  While Karen is away on holiday, a wonderful team has stepped forward who, along with Christine Chepyha and Gordon Miller at the piano, are ready and eager to offer leadership.

Christine Chepyha and Joan Ryan will be leading music this Sunday and introducing songs that support the liturgy of our services throughout August. We'll start each week singing "And On This Path", signalling our direction and purpose in mission for months and years ahead at James Bay.

Check out all the great music this week in your Bulletin. (I particularly love VU 278  In the Quiet Curve) -- and on Sunday, listen for the very cool Cat Stevens style of accompanyment Christine uses for Morning Has Broken.

Genesis 28:10-19

See you Sunday,

Gordon

Most Sundays of his adult life, Wendell Berry has taken Sabbath walks in the woods around his Kentucky farm - and many Sabbath poems have been born along the way.

Who of us knew that in the late 70’s, early 80’s there was already the teaching of local Indigenous ways and history happening among students at Stelly’s High School thanks to Tsartlip elder Dave Elliott?

Here’s SALT’s latest book trailer — for the beloved NYT-bestselling author Sy Montgomery’s latest book, “The Hummingbird’s Gift.”

It’s an exquisite little volume about the most extraordinary of winged creatures, some of the most fragile, fast, and fierce beings on Earth.

Check out the three-minute film here — it’s sure to lift your spirits. And then run, don’t walk, to your local bookstore for the book!
