Sunday WorshipSunday we tune into a final reflection from Rachel’s book with that title, allowing it to inform the theme and the shape of our service, 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. We are challenged to love our enemies in ways and with outcomes me might never have imagined possible. Matthew 5: 43-48 Presider: Colleen Nichol Reflection “On the Days When I believe” from Wholehearted Faith, by Rachel Held Evans |

thank you from Anna and AlexAnna was so happy to perform to a warm responsive audience on Thursday night. Many thanks to everyone involved. Alex and Anna put on a great performance confirming what we already know; the sanctuary at James Bay United is beautifully suited to our expanding Arts Ministry. |

Community BBQDo you know of someone who might enjoy this opportunity? On Saturday (late afternoon) August 20th on the Patio and Lower Hall some friends are planning a wonderful free bbq for folks in the neighbourhood who might be experiencing social isolation and food insecurity at this time of rising prices and post pandemic blues. Phil and his friends are putting on the whole show and members of the congregation are invited and also encouraged to think of friends who could use this kind of boost in their week. Think about … and this week will ask you to sign up if you are coming. |
