Ascension Sunday - May 21, 2023. Welcome to worship!
We invite you to join our service @ Glebe-St. James, whether in person or online.
As the liturgical (and calendar!) years wind on, we find ourselves at the end of the Easter Season - on the 40th day of Easter, in fact. This makes it the Sunday we call "Ascension Sunday".
Join us in person or via our livestream as we continue to reflect on the story of Jesus in this 'post-Easter' period and a reflection of one of the teachings of Jesus.
Liz Elton will read the welcoming message, and Rev. Dr. Teresa Burnett-Cole will lead us in worship. Barb Coyle will read our scripture reading from Acts 1:6-14. 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.
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: treasurer@glebestjames.ca (please indicate to which fund you wish your donation to go to).
You can watch the video of the service here on YouTube. If you had trouble getting on to the first link, please click again, as the link address may have been updated to address technical difficulties. Alternately, consider 'subscribing' to the GSJ YouTube channel and use the 'notification' (the 'bell' symbol on the GSJ YouTube channel) to be notified when we go live. 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.
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: worship.gsj@gmail.com.
