"Choose Life"

The times are becoming challenging. In some sense we are living in a time of great change. All that was familiar is slipping away. Day by day a new world is being shaped by the creative presence of our God. This is not the God of religion. It is the living word by which all creation is animated. This word does not dwell in any far off place. It is present at the very center of our human being. Listening to that word we find light by which to navigate the darkness of our time.

Our service this week was well attended. The room was filled with the spirit of life. That spirit animated our musicians and those who shared spoken words with the gathered company.

Here is the service:

Grateful Generosity

The sky was cool and grey outside the Big Red Church. Inside things were warm and bright. The room was buzzing with folk chatting - wearing masks and keeping a safe distance. There was some sadness as two members of our community are in hospital. There was also great joy as two new grandparents shared pictures of their wee grandchild.

The service was focused on gratitude. The singing was bright and the assorted messages offered hope and encouragement as we pass through these days of testing. Thanks to Carla, we had wonderful autumn colors decorating our communion table.

I hope you will enjoy our video presentation of the service. Here it is:

Changing Times

Greetings! We had a fine Sunday morning service at the Big Red Church. Sorry to say I am not able to get the recording published early in the day. Hopefully you will appreciate the recording.
