Most often we equate God’s grace with our salvation and protection, rarely do we think of it having to do with our calling and gifting. However, not only are we "saved by grace,” but in fact we are also "gifted by grace!!” Join us this Sunday as we reflect on God’s “gifting grace” given to each one of us!
Often times we act as if worship only happens on Sunday mornings or in our car when we fire up a “worship" playlist, but Romans 12 gives us a much broader vision of worship. This coming Sunday we will reflect on how our calling and gifting is part of our living, daily worship. Hope to see you there!
This week we will begin a new sermon series looking at how God calls and equips us to serve. The prophet Jeremiah was a man of humble beginnings who didn’t think he had much to offer when God called his name…little did he know. Do you think you’re not called, thing again!
GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE: At 7:00pm on Friday evening (March 30) we will be having a Tenebrae Service reflecting on Christ’s final days before his crucifixion.

This Sunday, March 18, we will look at the role that Peter plays during that final fateful night—the confidence of Peter quickly fades under the fire-light of interrogation! Join us as we reflect on the fear that often creeps into our life as situations spiral into chaos and we find ourselves standing in Peter’s shoes!
Prayer can be a difficult thing. In the Bible we are told to pray but sometimes it seems God is not listening, or we pray and nothing happens. Hours before Jesus is crucified he kneels down in a quiet place and pours his heart out to God in an incredibly tension filled prayer. Join us this Sunday, March 11, as we reflect on the prayer of Jesus in the garden and how this may impacts our prayer today.
This Sunday, February 25, we begin the season of Lent, looking at Jesus’ final hours before his crucifixion. Living in suffering and darkness is often times chaotic; these are periods in life when we often feel alone and have trouble putting it into words. Over the next few weeks we will be looking at the chaos of Jesus’ final hours and the darkness he must of felt. Join us this week as we look at Jesus’ final meal and the chaos and complexity he faced in it.

This Sunday we will begin looking at Part 3 of our mission statement, ’spaces of connection with neighbour'. The relationship between culture and church has undergone a dramatic shift the last number of decades. Join us this week as we see how God has been active in this and how He's calling us to respond in this new cultural landscape!
This Sunday, February 4, we will continue to look at the theme of the church (creating spaces for each other) in light of our mission statement. Specifically we will be looking at the stewardship and responsibility of the gifts that God’s gives us for service in his kingdom!

In an age of social media where our lives are on display for all to see, what does it mean to live a life “hidden with Christ in God.” Join us as we cut through the surrealism of our outward ‘profile' to explore the inwardness of who we really are. Our text will be Col 3:1-4.

This Sunday we will be looking at Luke 2:21-40, the story of Simeon and Anna. In this story the plan for Jesus' life is already forecasted, it is one that will bring joy to the world but also one that will strike our very heart—a paradox indeed!
Also, this Sunday as we also celebrate the baptism of Aaron Jamie Hlady, son of Miriam and Jamie and brother to Eli and Asher!
This coming Sunday we will be continuing our current Advent sermon series "People Of The Plan." This Sunday we will take a closer look at Mary: ln Luke 1:26-38 we read the story of the angel Gabriel visiting Mary and announcing the amazing role she is to play in the coming of Jesus into the world. In this story we see how God chooses, fulfills, and enable his plan within the world, and we also witness Mary’s humble and willing response to God’s call in her life. Join us as we reflect on this grace filled back-and-forth discussion between Mary and the angel!
