Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

August 7, 2022

“Do not be afraid.” We hear those words twice in our readings this week. Its almost as if God knows us well! And God backs up those words with a promise. But hearing and believing are two different things. How do we trust in God’s great promises in the midst of a world like the one we’re living in right now? Come join the “little flock” Jesus addresses today and open your ears with us for some good news.

Today’s worship service will be live-streamed on our YouTube channel at 10:30 am. Join us live, or watch the video here at a later time.

The bulletin for the service can be downloaded here.

Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

July 31, 2022

Today we hear the story of the rich land owner whose harvest was so great that his current barns were inadequate to store all his crops. As solution, he decides to tear down his barns and build bigger ones. We call this the parable of the rich land owner. But in Jesus’ telling of this parable today, was he really speaking to us primarily about a land owner with a dilemma, or of something else altogether?

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

July 24, 2022

A life of prayer and thanksgiving, reliance in and trust of God, intimacy with God and love of the neighbour come together in the scripture passages assigned for this seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. However, it is the theme of God’s generous and endless providence that frames our message on this day.

Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

July 17, 2022

Today’s sermon comes to us from Rev. Dr. Sid Haugen, Bishop of the Saskatchewan Synod. It is based on Luke’s gospel story of sisters Martha and Mary. Usually it is told as the story of Martha, who is judged for being too busy with work, and Mary who is commended for taking time to worship. But as Rev. Dr. Sid Haugen explains, this story has many layers. In our sermon today, he invites us to spend time in Martha’s kitchen and to take time to sit at the feet of Jesus and hang on every word.

Today’s worship service will be live-streamed on our YouTube channel at 10:30 am. Join us live, or watch the video here at a later time.

Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time – Church Picnic Under The Trees

July 10, 2022

Today we will be holding our worship service outside on our yard at 10:30 am, assuming weather permits. This means that we will not be live-streaming today’s service. We will also be hosting a picnic following the service, which will also be held outside if the weather cooperates.

Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

July 3, 2022

Mission is a word we’re familiar with as Christians. We use it a lot. And we may have heard (and even believe) that every Christian is called to be a missionary in their own way. But what does that mean? Well, Jesus gives us some instructions today. But instructions that maybe sound unlike our usual understanding of what it means to be a missionary. Let’s listen in.

Tree Wrapping – July 9

All are invited to a community event in our yard on July 9 from 1-3 pm. We will be joined by environmental artist Sylvie Roussels-Janssens who will be working with those in attendance to create colourful and creative tree warps for trees in our mini-forest, adding some beauty to our community.

There will be a couple of other artistic activities to join as well as music by the folk band “Beyond Flannel,” ice cream snacks, and an opportunity to meet neighbours. Everything is free and open to all ages. We hope you’ll join us. Please call or email the office with any questions.

Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time

June 19, 2022

Demons. There’s a topic that will stop any conversation cold. And yet we all have them. So maybe the conversation we really need to have is what we’re doing with them. And what might God have to say about that. Off we go to the land of the swineherds!
