Earth Sunday – April 18, 2021
Today we celebrate Earth Sunday in advance of Earth Day on April 22nd. Today our service includes the solo “I Got Me Flowers,” the United Church’s National Virtual Choir Project “Peace for the Children,” scripture and reflection, and another small spiritual practice to try this week.
On Zoom, the service will also include the hymn “This is God’s Wondrous World,” announcements, and as our gathering music “God of the Sparrow / O Beautiful Gaia.” If you would like to hear the Gathering Music, please arrive by 10:25am. However you join in worship this morning, you can join Zoom at 11:20am for conversation.
Our Stories and Crafts program will be about Sarai and Abram. For the craft, you’ll need a jar, water, dish soap, food colouring, oil, and your choice of items such as glitter, beans, sequins, or buttons. Join at 9:45 to watch on Zoom at 9:55am, or view any time on YouTube – and remember to share with those you know who are young or young at heart!
Next Sunday
We will celebrate 5 years as an Affirming congregation! The service will include music from the Uniting Voices Collective and an Opening Prayer written by our own Affirming Team. For those joining on Zoom, we will have a time for discussion during the service, and will also sing “My Love Colours Outside the Lines” along with the Junior Choir.
May 2 will be our next opportunity to share Communion live over Zoom.
