We are gathering for Thanksgiving, even though it's a long weekend. We decided that there are far too many reasons to be thankful to skip meeting together this week.
One reason is to meet in our new space, hosted by Emmanuel Mennonite Church. They see sharing their space with us as a good way to steward their building, and we are grateful for it. For the details of where we are look here
We will start with coffee in the foyer at 10:20am, please bring your own mug. Enter via the front (south) doors and enjoy a cup of coffee on your way in, or if you would prefer to slip in (or are running a little later) then enter via the back (north) door. Look at the map for these entrances.
Greg Kingcott will be speaking, starting from these passages from the Women's Lectionary For The Whole Church: Isaiah 61:1-4, 8-10; Psalm 133:1-3; 2 Corinthians 2:14-16; Mark 14:3-9
Contact the office for an invite.
Philip and Brenda Janz and Steve Mitchinson will be leading worship. Later in the week you will find the playlists on YouTube or Spotify and there is a lyrics page that you can download on the Sung Worship page of our site.

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.
