Lent 2026: The Justice of Jesus, Part 2 – Costly Justice.
In a world of “Thoughts and Prayers” and performative social media posts, what does it mean embrace the cost of Justice? Join us this week as we dig into the story of the Good Samaritan as we continue with our lenten series on The Justice of Jesus.
With the win sending Team Canada to the gold medal game on Sunday morning, we’re pivoting our Sunday gathering!
As you know, our Sunday morning gatherings rely on several wonderful teams of volunteers each week. With the Olympic gold medal hockey game happening this Sunday morning, we have heard from many in our community – including our volunteers – that they would love to be able to take in this event. So, rather than trying to move ahead with a very scaled-back team (and community engagement) on Sunday morning, we’ve decided to lean into this exciting moment.
Our service format will be very similar – with a time of musical worship, our KidsQuest classes, the first part of our Lenten sermon series, and sharing in communion. As this is a Neighbours Sunday, we will not have a time of discussion after the service and will plan to be wrapped up by 7:45PM.
We hope you enjoy the morning cheering them on, and we look forward to gathering later in the day as we begin our Lenten series together.
Lent 2026, Part 1.
This coming Sunday, we invite you to join us as we begin this season of Lent together as a community. As we consider the path that Jesus walked on earth – showing us the way of love, justice and peace – we are invited to examine the ways that our faith, worldview and understanding of Jesus have been shaped and corrupted by colonization and empire. We’ll be spending some time reflecting on how centering the Eucharist/Communion table leads us to the centering of Jesus – in our gatherings, our faith community and our lives. In what ways might this centering lead us to a deeper understanding of the justice of Jesus?
For the season of Lent this year we will be taking some time to explore the kind of justice that Jesus invites us into as Christ-followers. As we consider the path that Jesus walked on earth – showing us the way of love, justice and peace – we are invited to examine the ways that our faith, worldview and understanding of Jesus have been shaped and corrupted by colonization and empire.
We’ll be referencing the book, The Justice of Jesus, by Joash P. Thomas as a guide, as we reflect together what it might look like to decolonize our theologies, practices and communities – in a pursuit for greater liberation and wholeness.
