The theme for the third Sunday in Advent is JOY! Eric Janzen will be our speaker this Sunday.
This is an IN PERSON+ week and will be in the room and on zoom. We'd love you to join us either way.
Coffee will be ready to go at 10:20am in the foyer area (and again in the coffee break). Please help us reduce waste by bringing your own cup or mug.
If you are joining on zoom we'll let you in at around 10:20 so we can make sure it is all working for you and so we can visit for a few minutes ahead of getting going at 10:30.
If you want to follow a guide for Advent using the poetry of Wendell Berry, you can download that here.
Steve Mitchinson, Philip and Brenda Janz will be leading our sung worship. You'll find playlists here later in the week. In the meantime these are the playlists from Dec 7 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.
