Celebrating Our Cultures
Join us for a time of worship and food to celebrate the places and cultures that formed us and continue to mould our congregation. Please help with the luncheon as you are able, by bringing your favourite main dish, side dish, salad or dessert. As much as possible, your contribution should be ready-to-eat, or something that needs minimal warming up, and brought to the gym before the service. Also, please include a written list of ingredients in your dish. You are invited to wear clothing that represents your heritage or that inspired you during your worldwide travels. Thank you for making this a meaningful and joyful event. For more information, contact Elise Mennie at dunmenni@hotmail.com.
3 Days Later
On Sundays, we develop a theme in worship grounded in scripture and engaged through a sermon, music, prayer, silence, and contemplation, yet have you ever wanted to talk about it? Join Rev. Bob on Wednesdays from 12 to 1 pm (ish) for conversations that delve a little deeper into the theme from Sunday. Location: Upper Room and online. Join us onsite with your lunch, at your desk, couch, or in the park.
