We gather together and follow a form of worship designed to create a sense of community.

Sun. May 15th @ 10 am - Our service this week is the fifth Sunday of Easter with Rev. Hugh D. Reid along with Rev. Dr. David Winsor, who will be giving the sermon. There will be a celebration for Rev. Dr. Winsor after the service to honour him for his years of service and dedication.

Music will be coordinated by Ian Grundy. The service will be IN-PERSON as well as ONLINE.

Gracious God, who calls us all your children, we join with peace loving people around the world to pray for peace in Ukraine. We pray for those who are afraid now, hiding in shelters, fleeing for their lives. We pray for those grieving the death of loved ones. We are thankful for Jesus Christ who suffers with the suffering, who clothes the oppressed with dignity, who brings love and life more powerful than death to hopelessness. 

We confess that war is cowardice by other means, born of fear. We stand with the perfect love of God that drives out fear and calls us to beat our swords into ploughshares. We stand with the people of Ukraine and Russia who want to raise their children in peace. 

Give the peoples of this earth wisdom rooted in our shared humanity and your eternal love.  Life is too short for hatred and love is too long for delay.  Grant us your peace Good Shepherd.  Grant safety to Ukraine and our fragile world.  In Jesus name.  Amen
