Visions in the Cloud – Oct 30

Welcome

All Hallowtide Service

Who are the saints in your life? The “thin days” of All Hallows are coming. In our worship, we’ll celebrate the great-souled people who illumine the path of love in the world, consider ourselves as saints-in-making, and learn to look for hope where heaven and earth come close.

“There are all kinds of saints, but everyone is someone who is known by God.”
— Jerome Berryman

Visions in the Cloud – Oct 23

Welcome

Visions is a Spiritual Community where ... Hospitality. IS.

This week we gather in a 'Hospitality Cafe' and imagine together what is Spiritual Community when the welcome is wide, 'everyone knows your name', conversation is heartfelt, and compassion is practiced.

We will break open a few more 'Tools of the Trade' as we wrap up our Hospitality-talk, and put our 'tools of the trade' in practice.

Have a look at our digital 'Hospitality Audit' here:

Visions in the Cloud – Oct 16

Welcome

“Seeing God-presence in Everyone”

What would you do if Jesus came knocking on your door? We encounter God-presence everyday in the people we meet. Hospitality is the first step toward dismantling the barriers of the world and living with an open heart.

Join us this Sunday as we continue to explore our Hospitality theme and the "Tools of the Trade" we have to practice a wide and radical welcome from our hearts, for our community.

- Revelation 3:20 & Matthew 25: 24-26, 40

Visions in the Cloud – Oct 2

Welcome

World Wide Communion & Hospitality

We've all heard of the 'Golden Rule' and 'doing unto others what you would have them do unto you'. But have you heard of the 'Platinum Rule'? It makes all the difference in our ministry of hospitality! Join us as we welcome each other to the Table of Jesus, the Christ, and celebrate communion this World Wide Communion Sunday.
The 'Bread of Life and Forgiveness' is one of our many tools of hospitality.

Joining us on-line?

If you are celebrating with us on-line, we invite you to 'set' a table for worship with your symbols.
Bring a little bread and drink for communion.
