July 5 2026 at 10:00 AM - First of three joint summer services

July 3, 2026

Welcome to Glebe St James and the first of our joint neighbourhood summer services with St Giles Presbyterian and Southminster United.  Service begins at 10:00 am. You can join us in person or on-line.

Welcome to our central Ottawa neighbourhood and the first of our summer services.  This service is hosted by Glebe St James, but we welcome all visitors including those from our sister congregations St. Giles Presbyterian and Southminster United.  A special note about parking and entry to the building - since there will be construction over the summer (roof repair) the small parking lot adjacent to the building will not be available.  If you drive, you will need to find on-street parking.  Please enter via the 'rainbow' stairs or the Lyon St (red door) entrance if you need to use the stair lift. The main exterior ramp entrance may also be available (it provides direct access to the Sanctuary).

 

Edith Gardell, one of our licensed Lay Worship Leaders will be presiding.

Geoff McGuire will read scripture.

Paul Grose will be leading the music and a 'pop up' choir  will help with musical leadership.


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 10:00 am on YouTube.


Join in on the online offering plate for Mission & Service, Outreach & other GSJ operational needs! If donating online or via e-transfer, you can indicate on where you want your gift to be dedicated (our operating fund, capital fund, music fund, or other charity).
