We are gathering together in person this weekend and have a guest speaker, Bradley Jersak, to launch our theme for the year - MEET YOU ON THE MOUNTAIN - focusing on the words and teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. We'll start to break it down into bite sized chunks from Jan 18 but for this week it will be an overview of the whole thing. If you want to read with us, the whole of Jesus' sermon can be found in Matthew 5-7.
Join us in the room at Emmanuel or in our zoom space at 10:30am. We'd love to see you in either place.
Contact the office for an invite.
Kevin Boese will be leading our sung worship this Sunday morning. Later in the week the song lists will be up so you can listen to that on YouTube or Spotify and download the lyric sheet on our sung worship page.

We will be celebrating Pride Sunday on the last Sunday in September. Stacey (see below) will be our guest speaker that week. There will be cake and other fun extras. We hope you can join us.
A little back story: On Sunday, October 3, 2021 we marked our churches decision to be an inclusive, welcoming and affirming community of people who are making it our business to live out our faith in love.
Stacey Chomiak is an LGBTQ Christian Speaker, artist, author and art director and was our guest speaker and we loved hearing her story.
If you were not able to join us that week, here's a recording of the gathering. It was wonderful. You can watch on Vimeo or find that episode by date on our podcast.
