Dear all,
This Sunday, the Rev. Ian Fraser, a retired minister of the Presbytery of Montreal, will be leading worship as well as outlining the process that lies ahead for us as we consider our future.
This Sunday is World Communion Sunday and we will join with Christians around the globe in celebrating our unity through Christ. We have learned in the past three years that we live in a world that is much more connected than we had ever imagined. Imagine a world where Christ’s compassion would spread just as rapidly!
Ian will focus worship on Jeremiah and a land investment that he made. Jeremiah was much more adept at proclaiming God’s message than property management, but his purchase is a lesson for us all.
