This Advent, we are invited into an active kind of waiting—one that is creative, and collective.
We begin with a bare tree, and week by week, we will contribute to its transformation. As we explore the profound themes of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love, we will add a piece to the tree, participating in its—and our own—transformative becoming.
This is more than decoration; it’s a shared story. Join us as we gather around “The Becoming Tree” and discover how our shared anticipation and collaboration can make all things new.

We want to update you on a joint decision of the Pastoral Team and the Steering Committee:
In light of rising COVID cases, and our desire to err on the side of caution in order to protect our community, we have decided to hold our Sunday services online only, beginning this Sunday, December 19th, and continuing until the end of January.
This decision further recognizes the impact on current volunteers who are attending weekly and who may need to prioritize family gatherings during the holiday season, as well as allowing time for more of our children to be vaccinated.
In addition, moving online during this next short season will allow us to adequately prepare a plan to record vaccination status which will likely be required on our return to in-person services in early February (as requested by Trillium).

Advent, Week 1: Hope.
As we enter into the season of Advent we light the candle of Hope. What does hope look like in a world that seems to be unravelling around us? Is it just a feeling or is there something more practical to it? Join us as we examine how to have defiant hope in a chaotic world.

Bodies Matter.
This Sunday we are excited to have Heather Morgan join our gathering to teach on the theme of Disability Justice and the Church, and invite us into a conversation to grow in our understanding and practices as a community. Heather shares her time between co-pastoring at Vox Community Church in Barrie and working on her PhD at Emmanuel College at the University of Toronto, where she draws from her lifelong experience of disabilities and neurodivergence to think about the intersections between bodies and systematic theology. Together, we’ll be considering the ways we read scriptures that deal with disability, and exploring how what we believe about who Jesus is might help us respond better to our own bodies – disabled and able-bodied alike.
