Fourth Sunday in Lent - March 15, 2026
“Let the little children come to me. Do not stop them. For it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.”
Here's what you can expect at Glebe St-James this Sunday:
- Rev. Dr. Teresa Burnett-Cole will lead the service.
- Susan Palmai will welcome us.
- Zoë Fortier will acknowledge that the land on which we gather and work is the traditional and ancestral territory of the Algonquin People, unceded and unsurrendered.
- Kelly Boehme will read the scripture from Deuteronomy 24:17-22 and Mathew 19:13-15.
- Our Minister of Music, Paul Grose, and the choir will lead us in music and song; the Gift of Music will be "I Believe in the Sun."
- "I Believe In the Sun" is arranged by Mark Miller (b. 1967), a Massachusetts-based African-American United Methodist Church composer. The words are attributed to a message scratched on a cellar wall by Jewish prisoners hiding during the Holocaust.
Today's music before and after service:
♪ "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross" is an arrangement by Dale Wood (1934-2003) of American hymn writer and public music education founder Lowell Mason's 1820s hymn tune "HAMBURG." Wood, a Californian, called his compositions "Wood works for organ."
♪ "What Wondrous Love Is This" is an arrangement by Nashville-based Baptist hymn writer John E. Carter of the American folk hymn "WONDROUS LOVE" that emerged from the Appalachian shape-note tradition in the early 1800s.
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.
