Worship for the Home, with a twist!

Hi everyone. This week, we are doing something rather different. Because we are no longer stuck in our buildings for worship, this week’s service is a joint venture between the congregations of the Lunenburg Lutheran Parish (Zion in Lunenburg and Grace in First South), the Rose Bay Parish (St. Matthew’s in Rose Bay), and St.Continue reading “Worship for the Home, with a twist!”

Worship for the Home for July 12

As we work our way through this summer of 2020, we are blessed to be reminded that we do not go alone. The Bishops of our church, as well as their Assistants, are preparing reflections for each Sunday of the summer. This week’s message come from Deaconess Michelle Collins, Assistant to the Bishop of the Manitoba/NorthwestContinue reading “Worship for the Home for July 12”

Worship in Interesting Times

At the beginning of this year, we thought the big news story of 2020 was going to be the election campaign in the U.S. Then it was going to be the uncontrolled wildfires burning in Australia.

Or violence against people who are different, simply because they are different. Or murdered and missingContinue reading “The End of Easter”

The Good News is Challenge Before it is Comfort

The Good News of God’s love for us is the core of what we are about as church. It is literally the bottom line.  If we lose that, we’ve lost everything that matters. The challenge is that God’s love calls US to love as we have been loved.  We are called to care for othersContinue reading “The Good News is Challenge Before it is Comfort”

Worship during Pandemic – May 6, 2020

“We can’t gather as the church.” That’s what we are telling ourselves, isn’t it? Since health officials are telling us to keep practicing “Social Distancing,” we are forced to stay home on Sunday. (I’ll bet you already know where this is going, don’t you?) But we are not just The Church when we are sittingContinue reading “Worship during Pandemic – May 6, 2020”
