Christ is risen! Alleluia!
We had a meditative Maundy Thursday, a solemn Good Friday and a glorious Easter Sunday at St. Paul’s. We long for the day when we can gather in person again to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus. If you missed any of our online services you can find them here, and it was wonderful to have our children and youth join on Zoom. We are grateful to the Chancel Guild for beautifully decorating the church and to all those who donated flower tributes.

May the risen Lord Jesus fill your hearts with hope and joy! Happy Easter!

Now What? No Seriously... What now?
The community just wants to "get back to normal", but normal never seems to come. Sound familiar?

But it's not 2021. The year is 445 BC, and nearly a century has passed since the first Jewish exiles returned to their homeland, Jerusalem—and their normal life is still in tatters. The people are vulnerable, tired, and scared. God raises up a leader, Nehemiah, who guides the community in restoring their home with courage, justice, and integrity. Equal parts memoir, history, and devotional, the book of Nehemiah shows what it means to live our all-too-short lives trusting in the long arc of God's faithfulness, even when it's hard to see any light at the end of the tunnel.

As the world enters year two of the pandemic and our church embarks on a new season, there's no better book to remind us that the work of rebuilding is always harder and longer than we want it to be—and always worth it, if God is at the centre.

Join us for worship and the start of our new sermon series
this Sunday at 10:30 am on YouTube.

Rebuilding Rhythms of Life
COVID has blown up so many of our daily and weekly rhythms, and there is now an opportunity to ask ourselves what will lifegiving rhythms look like going forward. Christians have faced times like this before – warfare, persecution, plague and famine – and so we are going to look at five ancient spiritual habits (1. Prayer 2. Scripture 3. Worship 4. Stewardship 5. Service and Invitation) that have sustained Christians around the world for 2000 years. 

These spiritual habits can strengthen us as we rebuild our lives coming out of this pandemic. Do join Bishop Jenny for one or all of these sessions. There will be a combination of teaching, conversation and small group discussion over Zoom.

NOTE: You will recieve the Zoom link closer to the date of the course.
