This week we wrap up our summer series, the Summer Slowdown, with three people from our church family — Ava, Anita and Jedi — sharing their Summer Stories. They’ll reflect on what it’s looked like to slow down and spend time with Jesus over the summer, reminding us that creating space for God matters in every season of life.

This week, Pastor Aidan Wivell continues our Summer Slowdown series with a message from John 15 titled Returning Well Rested. Together, we think about what it means to return well from our rest with Jesus as we explore His words in John 15, unpacking what it means to remain connected to Christ so our lives bear good fruit in the midst of a busy and anxious world, and are encouraged to return to our responsibilities carrying the peace, love, and presence of God with us. 

This week in our Summer Slowdown series, Pastor Heather Ameye-Bevers reflects on Psalm 139:1-6 & 23-24, exploring what happens when we pause and make space to truly encounter God. We discover God’s intimate, searching love—a love that knows us fully, heals us, and guides us, not to condemn, but to restore. The message encourages practices of stillness, honesty, and reflection (including the Examen), helping us slow down, trust God more deeply, and live openly before Him.

This week in our Summer Slowdown series, Pastor Grant Harris explores Matthew 6:25-34 and considers how worry can keep us from the deeper rest God offers. Even when we physically step back, our hearts can remain exhausted—but Jesus calls us to seek His presence and trust Him to handle the rest, discovering true internal renewal.

This week, Pastor Aidan Wivell invites us into a “Summer Slowdown,” using the image of an overwhelming conveyor belt to reflect the pace of modern life and, through Jesus’ words to Martha and Mary, calls us to intentionally choose rest, presence, and being with Jesus so that our doing for God flows from a deep, unhurried life with Him.

As we enter the final week of 2025, Pastor Caleb Finlayson is inviting us to pause and reflect on the year that's been, while also looking ahead with hope to the year to come. Together we'll explore where we've seen God at work, and where He might be inviting us to dream again. We'll unpack how throughout Scripture, God meets His people in unexpected ways — even through dreams — shaping the direction of their lives. As we consider where we may stand at the end of 2026, this moment reminds us that every journey of faith begins with a dream placed by God. What is the dream He is stirring in your heart?

This week, Pastor Grant Harris continues our Advent series, Those Who Dream, with a message titled: The Dream That Saved Christmas. Preaching out of Matthew 2:1–12, we revisit the Nativity story and explore the journey of the Magi—well known for following the star, but also guided by a shared dream. After encountering Jesus, they are warned in a dream to return home by another way, ultimately protecting the Christ child. As we draw closer to Christmas, this message invites us to consider what it might look like to give God permission to guide our lives—even through dreams.

This week Pastor Aidan Wivell and Caleb Finlayson bring us a podcast-style message as we continue our Advent series, Those Who Dream, with a sermon titled Living The Dream.

We’re sitting down with one of Scripture’s great dreamers — Joseph, son of Jacob. Through a narrative interview, Joseph recounts his journey from favoured son to slave, prisoner, and eventually a leader in Egypt. Along the way he reflects on how God used seasons of hardship to shape his character, grow humility, and teach him to trust God’s presence in every moment.

His story reminds us that God-shaped dreams rarely unfold quickly or easily; they’re formed through waiting, surrender, and everyday faithfulness.

This week we're starting our Advent series, Those Who Dream, with Pastor Holly Walton bringing us a message out of Mark 13:32-37 titled: Keep Awake.

In this first message of our Advent series, we’re reminded that Advent invites us to live awake to God’s presence, just as the dreamers of Scripture did. Holly challenges us to resist spiritual drowsiness and instead notice God at work in ourselves, in others, and in the world around us. As we stay awake to both the beauty and the brokenness of our world, God plants hope-dreams within us—dreams of peace, justice, and restored creation.

This Advent, we’re invited to wake up in order to dream with God and join in His redemptive work. 

This week, Pastor Grant Harris concludes Part One of our King & Kingdom Come series. Together we'll explore how in Luke 9:1-51, Jesus calls His disciples — and us — to move beyond simply admiring Him to truly following Him. We’ll unpack what it looks like to trust Jesus enough to step out, surrender, and actively participate in His mission. It’s a gentle, yet challenging invitation to take the next faithful step in our journey with Him.
