Sunday Bulletin

___________________

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!

- been working by advocating to stop an unjustified eviction of a newly housed person. 
- distributed $200 worth of gift cards for Value Village to people who need some wardrobe help
- helped at the laundromat with someone who has no access to laundry facilities and felt challenged by going to such a public space on their own 

But the real story of the week is that a neighbour stopped me on the street to tell me about how our Thrift Shop volunteers went above and beyond helping newly arrived Ukrainians get outfitted with what they needed. The person was truly amazed at the compassion and level of service provided by the Thrift Shop. I listened to the story and simply said "I'm not surprised. This happens all the time and it is our Thrift Shops 'way of being'. They are compassionate, helpful and caring and they know what an important ministry they are offering to the community."

Have a great weekend everyone. I am up island attending the Courtney Music Fest. My annual pilgrimage.

I love reviewing past shows and picking songs that stand out as favourites. And I am thankful for friends that help me create these sharable moments.
(watch time 6.09 - enjoy)

We are in-person only for the summer, so plan to come and join others ... and maybe bring a friend.

We are pleased to welcome Samuel Shanbo He and Jennifer Mitchell as they come together for the first time to perform on the evening of July 17th at 7:30pm! Both locally grown musicians, come and enjoy an evening of music where a diverse program awaits - including works by Mozart, Debussy, Carter and more.

The Arts Ministry at James Bay United Church is proud to be part of this presentation in the acoustically amazing heritage sanctuary in the heart of James Bay.
