White words on a red background ZOOM together virtually

The theme for the second Sunday in Advent is PEACE. 

This coming weekend is a ZOOM ONLY SUNDAY and so we are gathering together in our Zoom space this weekend and are looking forward to being together. If you miss having others around to 'do church' with you, you may like to invite a few folks over so you can be church together as you watch the zoom. Hook up the zoom to your TV and you'll be able to share the experience together.

We will start at 10:30am and we'll be ready to let you in to the gathering at or just before 10:30am.

Amy Harless is speaking on the theme of PEACE.

If you want to follow a guide for Advent using the poetry of Wendell Berry, you can download that here. 

Nathan chose these songs for us to worship with for Nov 30 and you can 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. Later in the week a new song list will be added for this week.



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.
