Sunday, March 8th

Rev. Paul Ivany is leading worship this coming Sunday. 

It's the Third Sunday in Lent and the theme is "The good news is...together the impossible is possible." In this challenging time in this world of ours come and hear some ideas for how we all can get along better. 

All are welcome online or in-person.

Get ready — Springtime is on the way! 🌷

On March 8th, we set our clocks forward one hour for daylight saving time.

We may lose an hour of sleep, but we gain longer, brighter evenings.

We will be holding our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Sunday March 22^nd.

At the AGM we will:

1) receive annual reports from the trustees, executive team, committees, and other groups,

2) seek approval of proposed membership for the board of trustees, executive team, committees, and other groups, and

3) seek approval of the draft budget for 2026.

The meeting will begin approximately 20 mins after the in-person service and will be available via Zoom (a link will be provided next week).

A light snack will be served before the meeting and childcare will be provided. The Annual Report will be available online March 12^th and a small number of hard copies will be available at the Church on March 15^th.

Please plan to join as we celebrate the past year and look forward to the future.

This is an invitation for you to join us to reflect on Have a Beautiful, Terrible Day! during this season of Lent.

This is a study offered by Kate Bowler and her team. It is an honest and real reflection on what it means to follow Jesus through the ups and downs of our days. It also allows for discussion about life as it really is— I hope you will join us.
