As you trace your life journey, I wonder what events, moments, encounters you would identify of spiritual awakening along the way, of realizing you are held in and part of something bigger, a great Mystery? This is some of where our reflection will take us as we gather this Sunday, inspired by a wonderful paraphrase of the opening “volley” of the Letter to the Ephesians.  

POST-SERVICE ZOOM Coffee Chat (join others online after the service)

The choir will sing on Sunday May 28th for Pentecost Sunday and anybody is welcome to join. We are always happy to see new faces in the choir. Music will be available as of Sunday May 7th and practice files will be sent out before the first rehearsal. Rehearsals will take place on Sunday May 14th and Sunday May 21st following the service from 11:50-12:50 (following coffee) in the JBUC Sanctuary. If you are not already on the choir email list and are interested in joining, please email Jennifer at j.turner@queensu.ca by May 13th.

Get ready for a wonderful celebration of the songs that feed our souls, kindle our courage, unite us across our differences, express our convictions,  our daring hopes and prayers. Sunday, June 11th is the day for the BIG SING.  Not only will we discover and sing these touchstone hymns, but we will hear from those who contribute a piece to the playlist for the day about why these pieces hold a powerful place in their life.

This Wednesday will be about beliefs, ethics, practices starting thousands of years before the Romans spread Christianity across Europe, and continuing with some well-known names: Brigit, Columba, Patrick, about whom we may know some facts, certainly have lots of stories and examples of terrible and exemplary behaviour.
