Sunday Worship - Lent 2

Sunday, March 5th: 10:15AM - In-Person and On-Line

The threat of snow last weekend had us rearrange our plan. So all being well, this Sunday we will welcome Janice John-Mitchell to speak with us about the significance of Black History/African Heritage Month. As we continue the “conversation” between the artistic expression of Henri Matisse and this week’s Gospel story of Jesus and the woman at the well, we’re invited to take note of the lines that divide and separate us, and lines we are called to cross over.

Going to the Movies for Lent

Come for a simple supper at 5:30pm; movie begins at 6:30pm
in the Lower Church Hall. Enter off the patio at the back of the building.

The movie explores the challenges for the teacher as well as the children.

Colour your Lent

Thursday, March 9, 2023

Let contemplation and conversation colour your Lent
5 Thursday mornings, 10am - 11:30am in the Sanctuary

Think of it as a ‘clearing space’ making room for personal reflection.

We’ll gather around questions each week that help us get in touch with what’s bubbling beneath the surface that may well be a key to greater wholeness.

There’ll be time for contemplation, for conversation and for putting colourful pen to paper as we take our lead from master colorist Henri Matisse whose work we’ll view as an inspiration for our own self-expression.
