This week Eden shares a lovingkindness meditation and communion, Karina preaches her way through the story of the Good Samaritan by noticing how discomfort plays a part in compassion and then Meghan Kellington and Huw Franklin are our first guests in our summer compassion series.  They work meeting frontline compassion needs through our local foodbank.  You don't want to miss it!

This is the last of three special sessions we had with Dr. Bradley Jersak. For the first half, Brad shares his thoughts on Reimagining Community and then a great q and r session followed - hope you enjoy!

On this particular weekend, our local community was/is melting in a heatwave, but we had a really cool service all the same! Eden led us through lectio, Sarah brought us through our communion practice and Steve preached a great sermon on Reimag/in/ing Unity- it's not uniformity and independence that makes us great but rather leaning into our differences and interdependence that make our community beautiful and strong.

Suggested listening for this sermon is the song "City on the Hill" on the Come to the Well recording by Casting Crowns.

What a great service! Sarah started us off with Lectio and Communion and then our special guest Nichole Forbes and Karina hosted a Q and R where we discussed the many topics and questions you had submitted to Nichole regarding Indigenous and Metis people. We covered everything from treaty issues, social and cultural issues as well as spirituality and allyship -it was a full, rich morning.

This is the audio of session 2 of our 3 part Reimag/in/ing series on Reconstruction. What does it look like to rebuild practices of prayer after deconstruction? Brad shares his thoughts followed by a Q and R.  

Lea & Mark host communion, Eden reads v 1.0 of our statement of intent and reads a Lectionary prayer reimagined from Psalm 20, and Sarah preaches on Small Beginnings.  https://www.thebridgeonline.ca/

Sarah leads us through the vitally important practice of lament, Karina invites us to re-member ourselves through our communion practice and Romay Nichols tells her story in Pride Month of moving from a position of being a 'moral expert' to an affirming and open-armed renegade.  

Our first of three Wednesday night specials with Dr. Bradley Jersak. This week we talk about reimagining and reinvigorating our relationship with Scripture.  

A moment to pause and pray for strength and peace for those who mourn the mass grave of children found at the Residential school in Kamloops led by Eden. A place to encounter Jesus at the table in communion with John & Susie. And a way to reimagine reading the Bible with Karina. All in all, it was a good morning. Have a listen.

It's Pentecost Sunday! This week Sarah, Morgan and Eden lead us through our service and remind us of the good news that The Holy Spirit is for everyone!
