This 7th Sunday of Easter service will be lead by the team of Revs. Sharon Moon and Howard Clarke (Howard and Sharon were interim Ministerial staff at GSJ a few years ago). Liz Elton will welcome us, and Rev. Sue Toller will offer the land acknowledgement. Donna Fay Mailhot will read the scripture: Ephesians 3:16-19 and John 5:1-9 from The Message.  Our Minister of Music, James Caswell is away and we will have Roland Graham lead the choir and will lead us in music and song; Julia Berry, soprano, and Geoff McGuire, tenor, will provide the gift of music: Pachelbel's Canon of Peace.


The service will touch on the Healing Pathway Program which is overseen by the Healing Pathway Society of the United Church of Canada. It was created to encourage people to develop the gifts and skills of energy-based healing within the Christian tradition, and to foster the development of healing ministries within faith communities.


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 at this YouTube link; after the service ends it will be available to watch as a recording.
