April June 2026

 

Continuing on with the worship series prior to Lent, our April worship services will focus on the Sermon of the Mount. For four Sundays in May & June, we will hear about unity in conflict. Various Biblical texts will be used to show how important it is to address conflicts and then find a healthy way to deal with them. June will include our annual Fanshawe service followed by a potluck picnic and afternoon activities, and a Sunday to honour our indigenous neighbours and friends.
