Sunday WorshipOur life as God’s beloved was never meant to grow stale, become static. Wholehearted Faith ... that’s the phrase Rachel Held Evans uses to describe an expansive and healing and evolving way of being in relationship with the Divine, with our neighbours, with ourselves. Whole-Hearted Faith. Today and over the next few weeks, Rachel’s reflections from her book with that title inform the themes and the shape of our services, inviting us to wonder and wrestle perhaps, as she has wondered and wrestled, with matters of life and faith. The invitation is to experience for ourselves what it is to welcome and respond to Love’s lavish way with the whole creation. Today we enter into wilderness to discover what provision we might find there… if we but listen. Presider: Colleen Nichol Music: Gordon Miller |

Thursday Morning PrayerIt’s about beginning the day, along with others, in a way that centers and grounds us in Love’s presence. You are welcome to drop in and discover if this is a practice that feeds your soul and helps to orient you well for the day. We’ll begin at 8 am, concluding around 8:20. |

Centering PrayerThis practice is one way of deepening relationship with the Wellspring of Love, a consenting to God's presence and action within us, familiarizing us with God's first language, silence. ZOOM LINK (Thursdays 1 to 2PM) Photo by Dingzeyu Li on Unsplash
