December 24, 2017 | “‘And so, this is Christmas,’” in the musical words of John Lennon. This is a story that we have heard told again and again each year. The mysterious pregnancy, the laboured journey to Bethlehem, the star, the stable, the multitude of angels in the blazing sky, the haste of the shepherds discovering the newborn baby, and the broad proclamation that from this moment everything in the whole world had changed. All because this event, ... more than any other event, has made a place for you and me. Despite the immensity of the universe of stars, galaxies and planets in their courses ... the birth of God with us has shown that God is— with us.
May your Christmas this year be filled to the brim with meaning, love and thankfulness ready to be spilled out in the lives of others.
Merry Christmas!
Rev. Lorrie Daly-Price

December 10, 2017 | As Scrooge discovers in the ghostly visit to his past, over a lifetime, the things we remember or those things we refuse to allow ourselves to remember can have a significant impact on who we are and how we live in the here and now. In Scrooge’s case, it was the memories that he repressed, those ones he refused to face, that had the greatest impact on who he had become —a miserable, ruthless, lonely old man. Scrooge is asked to “look upon” the reality of the world and it cracks him open a bit and compassion grows. This Sunday is about our own “looking upon” the world and knowing that love is what we are made for.

December 3, 2017 | In the midst of this busy season, we look forward to slowing down, for even just one hour and sharing a musical presentation mixed with readings and reflections. This presentation has been adapted from Silent Was the Night by Lani Smith. Join us as we take some time to capture the calm, quiet celebration of Christmas.
