Be welcomed with us this Sunday, June 11, the second Sunday after Pentecost

June 11, 2023

Join with us in person or via our livestream this Sunday, June 11, at 10:30 am, the second Sunday after Pentecost

Join us in person or via our livestream as we continue to reflect on the story of Jesus in this 'post-Easter' period. 


In this service, we will be led by the Rev. Dr. Teresa Burnett-Cole and in the message, she will be asking the question:  How do we get proximate to the heartache of the world?  The scripture reading is from Matthew 9:9-13 and 18-26. James Caswell, our Minister of Music and the choir will lead us in music and song.

 

If you'd like to read along the sermon texts, prayers, hymn lyrics and even the children's story, find the service bulletin linked here.


We also mourn the loss of the Rev. George Clifford, our long-time emeritus Minister of Pastoral Care.  George was beloved by many. A service will be held on Saturday, June 17th, 1 pm here at Glebe-St. James.

If, for any reason, the webcast is interrupted and we need to re-start with a new link, you should both get a notification, or you should still be able to connect by looking for the red 'live' thumb-nail image.

Today, we remember that history. We remember Survivors. We remember the children who never returned home. We remember families and communities who continue to live with the consequences.
