The RBH Podcast

At this time, God is placing before Marshall Memorial United Church some exciting opportunities. Not only are we in the process of finding a new minister for our congregation, we are also re-imagining what God wants us to be as we move forward into the post-Covid world.

Our Day of Prayer is a time for us to join our voices together to ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in these important decisions that will help us fulfill our mission to Walk in God’s Way and Serve in God’s World.

We invite you to pray for Discernment & Wisdom once or several times during the day.

This prayer in video format.

Rev. Kevin, Richard and Judy's full discussion regarding the Day of Prayer for Discernment & Wisdom – Sunday, June 13, 2021. Video Version

At this time, God is placing before Marshall Memorial United Church some exciting opportunities. Not only are we in the process of finding a new minister for our congregation, we are also re-imagining what God wants us to be as we move forward into the post-Covid world.

The Christian Development Committee is planning a day of prayer for our church on Sunday, June 13 th – a time for us to join our voices together to ask the Holy Spirit to guide us in these important decisions.

As each of us is a part of the Body of Christ manifested at Marshall, we desire to listen for the voice of our Lord to discern what he would have us be and do as we seek to faithfully Walk in God’s Way and Serve in God’s World, at this time and in this place.

To prepare our hearts and minds, we invite everyone to pray each day, lifting Marshall up to God. We have written a prayer for you to follow (it takes about 3 minutes to pray) that can be incorporated into your regular morning and evening prayer practice. We have faith that by saturating this season of discernment with prayer we will be able to hear God’s will for our future.

A Christian Tradition of Passing the Peace of Christ. Enjoy a number of our members passing the peace. Followed by a performance of "Shines Right Through Me" performed by our band.

(Reposted with improved sound quality) Our guest for our second episode is Sharon.  We get to know Sharon through her answers to 12 random questions. We discuss babies, knitting, badminton, and Little House on the Prairie.

Sharon is the wife of the host Richard. She has been attending Marshall for about 14 years.

Rev. Kevin asks our own Richard Hamilton about being a real life Shepherd.

In the Marshall Memorial Worship Service on April 25, 2021, the scripture lesson focuses on Jesus statement in John 10 verse 11 - “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." The service includes a condensed version of this interview. Full Service on YouTube.

This episode includes the expanded shepherding discussion where we also hear about Rev. Kevin's experience with sheep. Richard also asks some random questions and we get to learn a little more about Rev. Kevin including something he has done that he will never do again.

"It happened right there, 25 years ago, in Marshall Memorial United Church."

In his message for the Anniversary Service, October 21, 2018, Rev. Mike Putnam shares how his faith was shaped as a young person in our congregation and he shared his excitement for our future.

"Becoming a Christian wasn't my idea. It was a gift."

"What goes on in this place is really important? You have a bold future. A God filled future in this place."

Full service video is available.

For today, 3.16 in the year 2021.

And Jesus said, "Whosoever believeth in me should not perish but have everlasting life."

We are delighted to have Kenny Munshaw return to perform his composition "John 3:16" with our own Kerry Radigan. Kenny was our former Contemporary Band leader and good friend to Marshall Memorial.

The lyrics and music of this beautiful song will open your heart to the message Jesus had for us.

Judy from our Christian Development Team reviews our first three weeks of Spiritual Practices we are taking for a test drive this Lenten Season.

Our theme for Lent this year is based on the book The Common Rule: Habits of Purpose for an Age of Distraction by Justin Whitmel Earley.

 The Common Rule has 2 main goals: 

1. To wake us up to the idea that we already have default patterns of everyday habits that are forming enormous parts of our spiritual lives, primarily unconsciously, and
2. To offer a path toward intentional spiritual formation that will enable us to more fully Walk in God’s Way and Serve in God’s World.

In recognition of Black History Month, we have been sharing stories and music to honour the contributions and struggles of peoples of African descent. This is a sample of what we have been doing. 

We have three of our young people sharing the stories of Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, and Lincoln Alexander. We also share the history of U2 song "Pride (In the Name of Love)", which is also performed by our Band. And Frank and Erin perform "Jacob's Ladder", an African American spiritual.

This service we study Mark 1: 9-15. Rev. Kevin explores the theme of Jesus as our Hero for our first Sunday in Lent.
