Faith Exploration

The Faith Exploration Group meets this Sunday, January 29th from 7:00 to 9:00pm.  This will be an inter-generational meeting with both the Adult and Youth Exploration groups meeting together to listen to individual stories by people of different faith traditions who are answering a spiritual call to confront the current environment crisis.

Field Trip to a Rock Eucharist

A very warm welcome was waiting for us at The Church of the Redeemer’s Rock Eucharist. The music was fabulous! Our youth were really surprised to see a real band with electric guitars and drums. The sermon was interesting and the minister wore NO SHOES which was sort of weird but also kind of cool. We liked the way the priest talked about the lyrics during his sermon. Biggest difference noted was the use of real wine out of a silver goblet and that there were kneeling benches (which weren’t used during this service).
