A prayer for you during the week
A new prayer at the beginning of each week
Week of Pentecost 18
Just God, one God, we live in this world and look for the world to come. Teach us what to ask for: give us all we need. Make us life-givers with you who build your dominion here, in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.

Caring for our local community and beyond
Over 30 per cent of our annual budget is given in service to others
Our people are actively engaged in service to others. Here are some of the projects and initiatives that we currently support.
A Journey in Learning and Discovery
Nine sessions September to November
Christian Foundations -- A grounding for a Life of Faith
The Christian Foundations Series is aimed at helping women and men, whether or not they are part of a community of faith, to acquire a basic understanding of the Teachings of Jesus.
In our sessions, we will explore parts of the Bible, church history, and the disciplines and practices common to Christian traditions. The workbook materials are user-friendly and inviting.
This series is now underway. If you'd like to join a future offering, let us know. If numbers merit, we will plan for another series.
