Join us on this Sunday, November 19th @ 10:30 - Reign of Christ & Quilt Sunday

November 19, 2023

This is the final Sunday of the

Church liturgical year - you are most welcome!

Join us this Sunday as we celebrate Reign of Christ Sunday - the last Sunday of the liturgical year before we begin anew with the advent season of waiting and anticipation. Please feel free to join us in person or on YouTube for our 10:30 am service. This week, you will also be able to see the beautiful work of the quilting guild arrayed throughout the sanctuary. Watch for a number of "star blankets" - these were the patterns learned at this year's Patchwork Pilgrimage in September. These baby quilts will be donated to St. Mary's Home, supporting young parents in our Ottawa community - Judy Wolinsky will tell us more about this in the Theme Conversation.


Our service will be led by Susan Toller, our minister of Pastoral Care and Christian Development. Dylan Fox-Altherr will welcome us to worship. The scripture reading is from Psalm 100 and will be read by Brad Munro. James Caswell and the GSJ choir will offer a gift of music and help us lift our hearts and voices 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.


Join in on the online offering plate for M&S, Outreach & GSJ operational needs! If donating online, you can indicate on the 'paypal' page where you want your gift to be dedicated. Gifting by means of e-transfer is now accepted using the email: [email protected] (please indicate to which fund you wish your donation to go to).


You can now view the weekly announcement slides or on our "What's Happening?" page. Scroll through at your own pace, or let them auto-play - your choice! Sign up for our e-Update to keep up on more of the life and work of the church.


Let us know how we are doing! If you have any ideas, comments or feedback about the online (or in person!) worship experience, please contact the worship committee at: [email protected].

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.
