May 24th Sunday Worship Service

Welcome & Announcements

Hello friends! Thanks for joining us this morning. Pastor Aaron has some news and announcements, and we even have a special guest to bring us some news from Mill Creek Camp!

Offering

If you wish to give as part of our service this morning, the easiest way to do so online is here. Or you can drop by the church between 9-12 on Tuesday and Thursday to find a donation box set up just outside the office. Thank you!

As we continue with our worship I'd like to introduce a new song to you that was passed on to me by Carlysle Bortolotti (who's playing the djembe for this song). It's called "Resurrecting".

Prayer

Over the last number of weeks we have engaged in many different forms of prayer. We have thought of our city, our province, our country and our world. We have considered the many ways in which people we know have faced changes in life and relationship. We have looked inwards as we engage in an examen type exercise. We have honored our mothers. Today our prayer comes out of the Lectionary for May 24th. Please pray this prayer; together if you are with others, out loud if you are by yourself. Peace be with you.

Living God,
long ago, faithful women
proclaimed the good news
of Jesus' resurrection,
and the world was changed forever.
Teach us to keep faith with them,
that our witness may be as bold,
our love as deep,
and our faith as true. Amen.

Message, Worship & Benediction

Our message today comes in two parts. Please watch the first half, and then move onto the YouTube link embedded afterwards. After that there will be a video playlist that will take you through the last half of the message, a song and the benediction. 

Thank you to Katharine Nimmert for recording piano for "Oceans" and "This Is My Father's World", as well as providing vocals for the latter. Thanks to Alison Kidd for singing on "This Is My Father's World".
