Rev. Laurie McKay - Lent 5

 Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead but this resuscitation convinces the leaders that Jesus must die. Such power is dangerous! It would change everything!

Light a candle on Palm Sunday

Light a candle on Palm Sunday

Sunday, March 29th immediately following our worship service, you will have an opportunity to light a candle in memory of a loved one, or to say a silent prayer for our world or someone you love.

So let’s “Play Ball!!!”

So let’s “Play Ball!!!”

This is an activity for all ages during Lent and if you haven’t picked up your ball yet please take one from the bowl at the Welcome Desk in the foyer. Everyone is encouraged to Play Ball by demonstrating “love for one another” and “love for neighbour” over the coming weeks as Jesus commanded. To participate all we ask is that you engage in completing at least one act of kindness (or more!) for someone in your community. This can be someone you know or a complete stranger — all we ask is that your act of kindness involves someone outside your own family and outside our church family. 

On Sunday April 19 we want everyone to bring their ball to church. We will provide pens and ask you to write on your ball one special thing you did to share God’s love during Lent. We will read out a few of them during the Children’s Time. Please remember — the Ball is in Your Court. How far can God’s love be spread through us? It is time to take action so “Let’s Play Ball!!!”

Aging Playfully Webinar March 23rd from 10:00-11:00

Aging Playfully Webinar March 23rd from 10:00-11:00

Aging can be more fun when we consciously incorporate play into our lives, according to Dr. Maxwell Hartt, Director of the Population and Place Research Lab and Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and Planning at Queen's University. He argues that play can be an important force supporting health and wellbeing in later life. Play is not frivolous, but foundational to health, wellbeing, and social connection across the lifespan.
Sign up at the link below for this free webinar via Teams and sponsored by the Ontario Age-Friendly Communities Outreach Program.
