We continue in our series called Tabled. This week we turn our focus to the peacemaking power of food. At the centre of this idea is sharing food together, and yet, we can broadly sketch out a great number of injustices - historical and present day - that surround and surface from food.

This Sunday we will map out some of the ways justice is lacking when it comes to food before we pivot toward peacemaking.

This Sunday we will be continuing our Tabled series by taking some time to explore the meaning and significance found when we gather around the Eucharist Table. What does this invitation to come, receive and remember mean for us today? In what ways does our approach to the Eucharist table reflect our calling to follow Christ in extending an open table to all? 
Our kids will be staying with us for the service and so our shortened sermon around this theme will be crafted with them in mind as well. Kids of all ages will also be invited to receive and participate in communion together with the adults.

This Sunday, in the second week of our Tabled series, we move from the feast itself to the act of invitation.

Who gets invited?

Who’s banquet feast is it anyway?

We will turn to a parable in Luke 14 as we consider invitation, welcome, and belonging.

Fasting and feasting.

Jesus gets questioned about why his followers are more prone to feasting than fasting. Feasting is a thread that runs through the whole of the biblical story, from cover to cover, bursting with feasts of all kinds throughout. What would it look like if we were a community marked by feasting?

What are some of our modern ideas about feasting? Can feasting be bad? We’ll attempt to look at a few of these questions together before we carry on the conversation around discussion tables.

He is Risen! We are wrapping up our series Postures of the People on Easter Sunday with a look at three postures we see in the risen Christ. The art featured in the slides for Sunday comes from Mexican artist Bernardo Ramonfaur. You can find more of his work at https://bernardoramonfaur.com/

During the season of Lent we have been digging into a series we have called “The Postures of the People” - spending time reflecting on some of the postures found in the life of Jesus, as well as those who walked with him on earth. This week Devon Wagler will share a message of blessing others. 

This week, we'll be exploring the posture of protection as we take some time to discuss the ways that we can develop a culture and community of protection especially for the more vulnerable among us.

As we continue in this Lenten season considering the postures of the people, we turn to the story of Lazarus. We will consider the posture of vulnerability in community that we find toward the end of John 11.

We will join together this week to celebrate the second Sunday of Lent. Melissa is carrying on with the “Postures of the People” theme with this week’s sermon titled ‘Awe and Adoration”.

On the first Sunday of lent, we turn to a story of walking on water. Jesus walks on the waves and meets his weary friends and followers in morning light, amid crashing waves. Peter is invited out onto the waves. As we consider the Postures of the People, we turn our attention to Peter’s posture as one who had the courage to risk.
