Wandering Heart: Rescue me from danger

We continue our Lenten theme of Wandering Heart: Figuring out Faith with Peter. When the storms of life are raging, when fear gets the best of you, where do you turn? This week Peter cries out for help in the midst of a storm. Jesus catches him with a promise, "Take heart... don't be afraid."

Join us as we consider grace for our journey.

Lent 1

Wandering Heart: Figuring our faith with Peter

This Lent, we are focusing on the life and faith of one of Jesus’ most well-known disciples: Peter. Like many of us, Peter has a wandering heart.
In Peter, we see someone who is both steadfast and unsteady, a dear friend and a betrayer, a follower and a wanderer.

What might we learn about Jesus and ourselves and faith by wandering with Peter? Join us this Lent and Easter as we watch the story of Jesus unfold through the experience of an ordinary human trying to figure it all out – just like us.

2024 – Lent Series

Figuring out Faith with Peter

This Lent, we are focusing on the life and faith of one of Jesus’ most famous disciples. In Peter, we see a person who is both steadfast and unsteady, a dear friend and a betrayer, a follower and a wanderer. In Peter, we often see ourselves. By following Peter’s journey, we watch the story of Jesus unfold through the eyes of a very normal human trying to figure it all out—just like us.

Visions in the Cloud – Feb 4

Black History Month

Jesus in the Village

This first week of February marks the beginning of Black History (or African Heritage) Month. Officially recognized in Canada since 1996, this is a time to honour the contributions and struggles of peoples of African descent.  This Sunday we look at Jesus' witness of honouring the diversities of peoples, and consider the United Church of Canada's commitment to become an anti-racist denomination.
