Sunday, June 7, 2020 Worship @ GSJ

Sunday, June 7, 2020: We are pleased to welcome Janet Nield, Jack Nield and Nancy Huggett to lead us in worship this Trinity Sunday, trying to sort through some of the tumult of the world. 

"Praise the Maker, Christ and Spirit: one God in community, calling Christians to embody oneness and diversity" Excerpted from VU312, Iona Community, 1985 

Bulletin: Follow along with readings, hymns, prayers and the reflection in the bulletin.

Announcements: Double check on any of announcements slides here. 

Donating at a Distance: To make an "at a distance" donation to Glebe-St. James (to the operating fund, to outreach, to M&S, etc.) or specifically our ongoing COVID-19 outreach fund, you have several options: the web donation button, by mail, by setting up PAR (pre-authorized remittance) or by using the mail-slot on the 650 Lyon Street South entrance door. In each case, you can specify where you would like the funds to be directed! See more on our "How can I Help?" page. 

Have a question or a comment? Did something in the service make you think, or would you just like to say hello? Leave us a comment below - we'd love to hear from you.
