The Virtual Variety Show is back!

Yes, we are doing it again! We are putting a call out for acts for our Virtual Variety Show. We put these shows together because it’s super fun to do during COVID times to see each other and to have a laugh or two! But, it’s also an important fundraising effort to support those who are most vulnerable during this pandemic. Funds raised through donations will be directed to local Outreach programs in Toronto.

Valentine’s Day Sunday – February 14, 2021

Today our service reflects on ideas related to love, drawing on Song of Songs for our scripture and our music. The music is all recordings from last year’s beautiful Choral Evensong service, and we are so pleased to be able to share in these once again.

The service will be the same on YouTube and on Zoom, so you are invited to worship either way, before joining Zoom at 11:10am for conversation. You may also wish to share the YouTube link with family and friends.

This Sunday is the final Sunday before Lent, and our Stories and Crafts program looks forward to Lent, creating a Lent Pathway. Watch at 9:55 on Zoom, or any time on YouTube.

Ash Wednesday
We will begin Lent with a short Ash Wednesday service with song, scripture, and prayer at 7pm on Zoom and YouTube. (Please note it is a different Zoom link and phone in information than Sunday worship).

Next Sunday
We begin Lent with a “Desert Times” service, hearing of Jesus in the wilderness and the first of Matt’s Lent Hymn Improvisations. Over Zoom, we will begin Lent by taking time to light candles for our joys and sorrows.
