The arrival of December brings with it all things Christmas: the cheery decorations, the cheesy music, and everything in between. But in the church, we try to take things at a slower pace, not rushing through to the main event quite yet. The season of Advent is a time of waiting, and of letting the […]

If you’ve ever tried to read the Bible from cover to cover, chances are you got bogged down in Leviticus and gave up entirely. Don’t feel bad – you’re not alone. But even though the lively narrative of Genesis and Exodus shifts to a book full of repetition and rules, there is plenty of contemporary […]

With the rush of daily life, it can be challenging to remember that out beyond the comfort of our own community is a world filled with people just like us, many of them struggling to get by. Nikki and TK will be sharing with us about the seeds of hope that they are sowing in […]

The Bible speaks frequently to both equality and economics, but it sure can seem like they are two very different things – detached from our life of faith. This week we will explore how economic practices are a sacred witness of God’s will for our communities and churches and ultimately the world. If we would […]

Racism, sexism, ageism…and the list goes on. There are so many ways we can pass judgment on others to maintain a measure of control. But in a world of increasing polarization, the gospel challenges our propensity to classify ‘the other’ and invites us instead to an acknowledgment of our shared humanity and our common need […]

Jesus has challenged us with the ministry of reconciliation. Truth and reconciliation is a heavy subject, yet what we hope to do is to challenge ourselves to move beyond our “scope” of Western cultural Christianity and see how the gospel message of Jesus is represented in different cultures, namely our First Nations culture, and how […]
