We are not alone.  We do not always see where the path is going, or how it will unfold. Yet the One who walks with us has already taken this path. Pastoral Minister Jessica Gauthier invites us to remember: The Good Shepherd leads us into life.

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! On Easter morning, what was buried begins to rise. New life unfolds, even before we can see it clearly. We gather at the table where death and life meet: where love is broken and shared, and nothing is lost to God. On this Easter Sunday, with Pastoral Minister Jessica Gauthier we rise together in life made anew.

“Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!” Branches rise. Voices shout. The city stirs. The Way becomes a public journey. Yet, even in the crowd, the Way is chosen in love. On this sixth Sunday of Lent, Palm Sunday, Pastoral Minister Jessica Gauthier asks, What does it mean to walk with the One who abides?

On this fifth Sunday of Lent, we walk with the knowledge that the human life of Jesus is close to completion. Death is near. 

Yet, we enter spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The dying in the winter transforms into rebirth. Snow becomes water again, even as the Southern Hemisphere enters the Fall season, slowing down and dying. The whole planet lives into death and rebirth simultaneously. And so do we. Worship leader Joanne Kalan invites us to ask the question: Who steadfastly leads us through these seasons of change?

Lent is a spiritual journey of prayer, honesty, and renewal. We remember both our fragility and our belovedness. Though the journey may sometimes feel solitary, we do not walk it alone. Jesus goes before us, leading us on the Way that leads to life. Today, on this fourth Sunday in Lent, Rev. Cathy Hamilton invites us to meet Nicodemus and a Samaritan woman, two who are searching for new life.

We hunger for certainty and thirst for relief in this season of Lent. And yet, it is in the wilderness that God meets us –and communities experience wilderness seasons, too. Times of change and uncertainty. Moments when the question rises again: Is God among us… or not? Sometimes the answer only becomes clear when we look back.

We check the rear-view mirror of our shared life and begin to notice things.

Today, on this third Sunday in Lent, Pastoral Minister Jessica Gauthier invites us to notice what we truly need.

On this second Sunday of Lent, we gather in faith that spring is near, that each seed of justice will grow, that caring for the homeless, feeding the hungry, and nurturing community moves the world towards compassion, even if it is beyond what we can see.

Our guest speaker, Kirstie Jagoe, speaks to this from her perspective as the founder of the Montreal-based charity Bread and Beyond. During the COVID lockdown, she began supporting local shelters for people experiencing homelessness. As she began to understand the complexity and impact of homelessness in Montreal, Kirstie founded Bread and Beyond to harness the power of community networks to inform, connect and respond to the needs of the organizations supporting people experiencing and at risk of homelessness.

Watch the video that Kirstie references.

We're so glad you found this podcast! Welcome.

Lent is a spiritual journey of prayer, honesty, and renewal. We remember both our fragility and our belovedness. Though the journey may sometimes feel solitary, we do not walk it alone. Jesus goes before us, leading us on the Way that leads to life. On this first Sunday of Lent, Pastoral Minister Jessica Gauthier invites us to consider that this season is not meant for us to change who we are by sheer effort or spiritual achievement. Rather, it is a season that reveals who we already are: beloved children of God, learning again to trust the One who leads us.
