Christian Family Sunday – May 9th, 2021

Today our service is a musical celebration, with a Virtual Choir Anthem and a Junior Virtual Choir Hymn, a flute duet, Ave Maria, and and Opening Hymn by the Uniting Voices Collective.

Our Prayer for Mother’s Day has been shared by the United Church, and the sermon reflects on being pushed by God’s expansive love.

If you are joining on Zoom, there will be an opportunity for conversation groups before the service for anyone who joins by 10:15am.

You can also come earlier for the Stories and Makers Nest, which will be shown at 9:55am on Zoom (or any time on YouTube). Today’s story will be about Ruth and Naomi, and we’ll share a flower craft.

Thank you to everyone who worked to make this service possible. Every week there are many people involved who make worship possible – and on a week like this it is especially true!

Next Sunday

Our service will be “Singing Joy?” Do you know that the word “joy” comes up several times in the gospel according to John, during the Farewell discourse – Jesus’ final words to the disciples on the night before his death? How do we talk, and sing, about joy during difficult times?
