Rev. Peggy McDonagh, along with the Angel Voices, Betsy Woolner and Brent Tucker guided us through this First Sunday of Advent with the reflection being offered by the Calgary Centre for Newcomers. The sanctuary and chancel were decorated for Advent and the paraments with the flaming candles made their Christmas appearance, thanks to Ruth. The decorating team worked hard on Wednesday preparing the sanctuary for our first in person service since March 2020. Sacred Service Coordinator along with several of the team leaders were on hand to welcome and usher. Thanks to you and, of course, the tech team with Deb Charnuski as leader who were on hand to make sure we could see, hear and sing (through our masks).

Thanksgiving Sunday was all about "Expressions of Gratitude." There were many people who responded to Rev. Peggy's request to send her brief statements of thankfulness and, this morning, she read each one in turn. The Chamber Choir added their ministry of song along with the participation in the service of Mike and Dianne Trew and Ruth Cross. On Tech team duty this morning were Deb Charnuski, chair of PSALT, and Brenda Wallace and Dave Layton.
October 3, 2021: World Communion Sunday. Rev. Peggy's second service of the Sacred Earth, Sacred Work series is built around the reflection, "Eucharist, the Fabric of God's Love."
World Communion Sunday is an opportunity for the wider Christian Church to move beyond historical and theological differences and worship together in active hope of genuine unity in Christ, even while we recognize and confess that separating walls remain high, and truly ecumenical Communion remains rare. May it help us live into the unity of God’s all-inclusive love and receive the blessings of such love.
