Fourth Sunday in Advent

On this Sunday that we hear Mary praise the gift to the world of the child growing in her womb, we enjoy the creative gifts of our congregation, and especially the artistic gifts of our kids as they proclaim the good news of great joy through their Christmas (un)Pageant.

Third Sunday in Advent

Where do we find joy when our life feels far from joyful? John the Baptist points us in an unlikely direction today. Towards a God of fiery judgement. How does that make sense? Our gospel for this Third Sunday of Advent – Joy Sunday – holds the key.

Second Sunday in Advent

We all know that Advent is a time to prepare. There’s no end to the voices around us these days reminding us of that. But the voice in our gospel reading today may be the strangest. It’s not calling us to buy something, or bake something, or send something. It’s calling us to take on some landscaping work. And how is that good news? Join us.

First Sunday in Advent

On this first Sunday of the new church year Jesus’s words in our gospel reading today have more to say about endings than beginnings. Or maybe they are just the words that people like us, living in-between the beginning and the end need to hear? Advent is calling! Let us enter with hope and anticipation.

Christ the King Sunday

Today we celebrate Christ the King. We have a special guest with us this week. Carolyn Klaassen is an Indigenous theologian and leader here in the BC Synod.

All Saints Sunday

What is a saint? “Saint” is just another name for a baptized child of God. If you’ve been baptized, you’re a saint! You don’t have to do anything to earn the name or prove you deserve it. So today we give thanks for God’s promise in baptism that makes us saints, and for all those saints we have known and loved and who now rest in God’s loving an eternal care. And we hear a story about what that eternal and loving care means.

Reformation Sunday

Forgetfulness is something most of us try hard to avoid. But when is being forgetful the best news we could ever hear? Join us on this Reformation Sunday as we celebrate the good news Martin Luther rediscovered for the church of Jesus Christ…and a few of our youth affirming their baptisms to boot!

Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Life’s a journey. We’ve all heard that. And Jesus travels with us all along. But can we hear him? Maybe thats a matter of learning to recognize his voice. Today we hear our youth speak about their journey with Jesus this past summer and hear a sermon from our retiring bishop Greg Mohr that can help us with that learning.
