Sunday Services

Our Services are held each Sunday at 10:30am (September through June) in our Sanctuary. We take a summer break during July, August, and the first Sunday of September. Here’s what’s coming up soon:

10:30am February 9th

“The Woven Tapestry of Our Life”
with Leslie Whyte

Our lives are made up of strands of events and emotions interwoven with life in our society, culture and politics. Those strands represent our lives made visible. To physically spin the fibre and patiently warp and weave that fabric into our personal design is both contemplative and spiritual. How would you present the tapestry of your life?

10:30am February 16th

“The Tao of Penny”
with Bruce Grierson

Life lessons from the world's greatest dog. This service is, more generally, a celebration of all our mammalian friends, who burrow into our hearts in ways that are hard to explain (though Bruce will try). Congregants are encouraged to bring photos of their beloved pets and share stories afterwards.

10:30am February 23rd

“Wake Now OUR Vision of Ministry Clear”
with Mary Bennett, Sue Forbes and Chris Millar

The popular hymn Wake Now My Senses calls us to “wake now my vision of ministry clear…and mingle my calling with all who will share.” As we navigate the path of lay ministry, it’s worth considering what that means for us.

Our guest speaker Mary Bennett, former Executive Director of the CUC, has unique insights on the concept of shared or ‘distributed’ ministry, from a CUC task force on the topic. She has ideas about how that effort could help us fulfill the many tasks and responsibilities of professional and lay-led ministry. Her thoughts could help each of us discern fulfilling ways to “work toward a planet transformed by our care” as we strive to live wisely.

february’s Outreach:

What is Outreach?

Each month, we collect funds for a different non-profit organization whose mission is in line with our values. We call this “Outreach”. 100% of our Sunday morning collection plate (unless otherwise marked) is donated to the charity featured that month.

During February, our Outreach funds will be donated to the North Shore Crisis Services Society, which operates transition housing (SAGE and second-stage housing) and other support services for women and families leaving violence on the North Shore.

Gain inspiration anytime from viewing the services on our YouTube channel.
