Welcome back to livestreamed worship with Glebe-St. James!  Rev. Teresa Burnett Cole will lead us in worship, together with a small onsite team.  Sunday is also Orange Shirt Day, officially commemorated on September 30th - it  opens the door to a global conversation on all aspects of Residential Schools. It is an opportunity to create meaningful discussion about the effects of Residential Schools and the legacy they have left behind.
