Contemplative Prayer Practices.
This coming Sunday we’re going to take some time to explore some of the contemplative prayer practices that we have talked about during our recent series around prayer. We’ll be walking through practices together as a community, as well as providing a space to explore some prayer practices on our own. We’re looking forward to reflecting on the ways that these practices can invite us into a deeper expression as a community, as well as noticing the ways that God is communing with us in all things.
Our kids will be wrapping up the Easter curriculum this week by exploring how Jesus appeared to and spent time with His followers after the events of the Easter weekend. Please note that the Grade 4-5 class will be using the gym for their time at KidsQuest this week.
We’ll wrap up around 10am, and then all are invited to join with their Neighbours groups in whatever your group has planned!

EASTER SUNDAY.

- Stations of the Cross – Thursday, April 17 (7–9PM) & Friday, April 18 (9AM–8PM)

After the sermon this Sunday, we’ll all gather in the gym for a time of Communion around the Eucharist table (after collecting our kids from KidsQuest). Afterwards, we’ll enjoy fellowship and community over coffee, tea, and donuts!
Please note: an allergy-friendly option (nut-, gluten-, and egg-free) will be available. If you have other dietary needs, feel free to bring along your own treat(s)!

What If? Reimagining Prayer, Part 4.
We’ll be wrapping up our Reimagining Prayer series this coming Sunday by taking some time to consider the beauty of reflecting on the words of prayers that have been written by others, and the gift of borrowing language to express words that may resonate with our own hearts and minds. From contemplative prayer practices to sharing in Prayers of the People, from more ancient liturgy to modern litanies – we’ll be exploring the ways that these practices can invite us into a deeper expression as a community, as well as noticing the ways that God is communing with us in all things.
