Pivoting our Service time and embracing the Olympics

by Elevation | Feb 20, 2026 | Featured, News

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.  

Instead of our usual 9AM start, we’ll meet at 6:30PM for an evening service.

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: The Justice of Jesus

by Elevation | Feb 11, 2026 | Featured, News

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.
