We are gathering together in our Zoom space this weekend and are looking forward to being together.
You may like to join up with others in their home so you can participate in the zoom together and enjoy being with others as we worship in different locations around the area and across the world.
We will start at 10:30am and we'll be ready to let you in to the gathering at or just before 10:30am.
Sarah Pickering is speaking on the final week of Advent on the theme of LOVE. If you want to follow a guide for Advent using the poetry of Wendell Berry, you can download that here. She'll use Joseph's story to talk about making hard choices following the path of love.
If you would like to read some bible ahead of this Sunday:
Psalm 89:2-3 (The Message)
Matthew 1:18-25
Genesis 28:10-17
Sarah has chosen some songs for this weekend. You can find playlists of the songs on YouTube or Spotify and there is a lyrics page that you can download on the Sung Worship page of our site.
Contact the office for an invite.

We will be celebrating Pride Sunday on the last Sunday in September. Stacey (see below) will be our guest speaker that week. There will be cake and other fun extras. We hope you can join us.
A little back story: On Sunday, October 3, 2021 we marked our churches decision to be an inclusive, welcoming and affirming community of people who are making it our business to live out our faith in love.
Stacey Chomiak is an LGBTQ Christian Speaker, artist, author and art director and was our guest speaker and we loved hearing her story.
If you were not able to join us that week, here's a recording of the gathering. It was wonderful. You can watch on Vimeo or find that episode by date on our podcast.
