Pride Sunday - June 28, 2026
We encourage you to mark this day and celebrate the lives and ministry of LGBTQIA+ and Two Spirit people in all their diversity. Join us in person or online at 10:30 am.
Here's what you can expect at Glebe St-James on this Sunday, June 28 (Pride Sunday):
- Ruth Burnett-Cole will welcome us.
- Rebecca Dalton will acknowledge that the land on which we gather and work is the traditional and ancestral territory of the Algonquin People, unceded and unsurrendered.
- April Yorke will read the scripture, Acts 15:5-13.
- Rev. Dr. Teresa Burnett-Cole will lead us in worship and will offer a reflection, "The Next Circle."
- Music Director Paul Grose and the choir will lead us in music and song. The Gift of Music will be "Land of Rest," a piano arrangement by Joseph Martin of an Appalachian folk tune with roots in the ballads of northern England and Scotland. The tune is most often paired with the hymn, "O Land of Rest, for Thee I Sigh."
♪ This week's organ prelude is Peggy Betcher's organ setting of Darlene Zschech's 1993 praise song "Shout to the Lord."
♪ The organ postlude, "Jubilation," is an original composition by Jason D. Payne (b. 1980) inspired by Psalm 98:4: "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a joyful noise and rejoice, and sing praises."
Here is the bulletin for the service which allows you to follow along with the words of texts, hymns, songs, and prayers. You can stream the service live at 10:30 am on YouTube.
