Christin Woods continues our Advent series discussing Mary the mother of Jesus and how redemption came from outside of us.

We continue our Advent series with David Harvey discussing why Advent and waiting is important before Christmas.

We begin our Advent series. Advent invites us into waiting, which is not something we enjoy, but it’s a hopeful waiting. While we wait, we pray, because prayer is how the church enacts its hope in God’s faithfulness.

It is Christ the King Sunday and it is also our last Sunday in our "Regarding the Holy" series. David delves into Philippians 2 discussing how Jesus is the true King and our perceptions of Kingship and power are upside down.

We have special guests Rosalee and Cecil Gordon alongside Alex Ilash a Pastor from Ukraine. Hear their amazing story on their experience with the war in Ukraine. Then David Harvey speaks on why what we do matters. We are human being with real bodies.  This might seem like an obvious statement but in the West we see ourselves as primarily thinking being.  This unfortunately has sneaked into the Chu...

Christin Woods shares her incredible story on how God worked within her life and the life of her family. Through her story we see how God is present within every circumstance and we can be still.

David Harvey continues our series preaching from the text of Genesis 28:10-19.  To end the service we engage in the spiritual practice of the Daily Examen from St. Ignatius.  How can we listen better to God is a noisy world.  

David Harvey continues our "Regarding the Holy" series preaching from Daniel 6. What can we learn from Daniel’s Prayer Life about how liturgical spirituality is scaffolding to our prayer lives.

We begin our new series "Regarding the Holy" by looking at Isaiah 6. The western world has lost the the ability to see and sense enchantment. God wants to give us eyes to see to see and experience God's holiness.

David Harvey speaks on thankfulness. Why is it so hard to be thankful in our society and how does the table show us to be thankful?

In the spirit of National Day of Truth and Reconciliation we have special guests Holly Fortier and Billie Fortier Neufeld. Holly and Billie discuss how we as a church participate in Truth and Reconciliation.

David finishes up our series on John 13 emphasizing the connection between Jesus' pronouncement that all authority belongs to him and his washing of the disciples feet. God is a servant that is who God is.

David Harvey continues our series in John 13 unpacking Peters interaction with Jesus, as Jesus seeks to wash Peter's feet.  How do we as a Church be a non anxious presence to a world so succumbed by fear.  If we look to Jesus we see someone who doesn’t increase anxiety but actually deescalates it.  

David Harvey is back beginning our new series called Thirteen which unpacks chapter 13 from John's Gospel. There are many ideas of what leadership is but if we look at Jesus the man with all authority on heaven and earth he washes his disciples feet. Jesus flips the whole idea of leadership on its head becoming a servant.
