The sacrament of baptism proclaims and celebrates the grace of God. 


Here's what you can expect at Glebe St-James this Sunday:

  • Rev. Dr. Teresa Burnett-Cole will lead the service.
  • Wayne MacWhirter will welcome us.
  • David Brown will acknowledge that the land on which we gather and work is the traditional and ancestral territory of the Algonquin People, unceded and unsurrendered. 
  • Together we will celebrate the baptism of Lilah Joan Story.
  • We will also honour the work of the many quilters, many from Glebe St. James, who have prepared baby quilts for St. Mary's Home.  Here is a short video of the quilts that were on display.
  • April Yorke will read the scripture from Luke 21:5-19.
  • Our Minister of Music, James Caswell, and the choir will lead us in music and song; the Gift of Music will be "O Sing Joyfully" by Adrian Batten.


Here is the bulletin for the service to follow along with the words of texts, hymns, songs, and prayers. You can join the service live at 10:25 am on YouTube; after the service ends, it will be available to watch as a recording.
