Sunday Worship
Last Sunday - 24th June - National Refugee Week
Our preacher last Sunday was Walt Johnson. He considered the passage from the 17th chapter of the 1st Book of Samuel in which the story of David and Goliath is told.
As we commemorated the 20th anniversary of National Refugee Week, Walt reflected on who we might name as the 'Goliaths' in our lives - who seek to bully and dominate us, in contrast to who we might name as the 'Davids' - who seek to protect and nurture us.
During the service we also lit candles in celebration of all who have achieved refugee status and in prayerful support of all who are presently pursuing their cases in the asylum process.
You can view the text of Walt's sermon on our church website here, and you can listen to the audio of the sermon via the link on the Audio and Video page of our website here - just scroll down to the 'Sermons' section.
Our sincere thanks also go to:
- Jean-François, Philip, Pam and Kevin for their contributions to the service;
- our singers and musicians for their dedicated ministry of music in the church;
- Jean-François and the team of helpers who prepare the church for worship, provide us with refreshments, manage collections from FairShare, organise distributions from our food-bank, and clear everything away at the end of the day.
Next Sunday - 1st July
In our service on Sunday we welcome Chris Burton, an Elder from the morning congregation, as our preacher.
All are invited to join us for inclusive worship which celebrates our place within God's diverse creation, and which welcomes us around a communion table which is always open to anyone seeking God in their life.
Our service, as usual, begins at 4:30pm.
