A joint Glebe-St. James and St. Paul's-Eastern live-streamed service
Join us to share in our worship together, even though we are physically apart. Today our team of worship leaders are joined by members of the St. Paul's-Eastern United Church as we enter together into the journey of Lent. Boyd Drake from SPE joins leadership with GSJ coordinating Minister Teresa Burnett Cole, providing the reflection on our scripture reading in Mark 1:9-15. As this week we will be celebrating the sacrament of communion, take a moment to gather a representation of the elements in preparation: perhaps a piece of bread or a cracker, and a cup of something to drink.
James Caswell, our minister of music, and members of both the GSJ and SPE choirs, Liz Caswell, David Brown and Geoff McGuire will lead us in music.
You can find our service bulletin with hymns and announcements here.
