This Sunday, we celebrate Pentecost and the beginning of Pride Month as we hear two scripture readings – Genesis 11:1-9 and Acts 2:1-21. Where is the Holy Spirit calling us today? What do we hear in scripture about our differences? What are our dreams and visions?
Looking Ahead:
On June 12 we will celebrate our Church Birthday!
This summer we are sharing some of our worship services with Northlea United Church; NUC will join us some weeks and we will join them on others, and we will also have some guest leadership.
Here is how you can worship over the summer months:
Every Sunday up to August 7
Attend Leaside UC In-Person and on Zoom (10:30am)
or, on YouTube (any time)
August 14
Communion on Zoom (10:30am)
August 21 & 28

or, on YouTube (later in the day)
September 4
Zoom (10:30am) and YouTube (any time)
This Sunday, we continue our Healing Series by reflecting on the healing power of Music. As we focus on music we will hear a little background on our hymns and anthems, which include Prayer for Ukraine as well as the hymn When In Our Music God is Glorified. We are also planning for a small role reversal, as Matt leads our prayers and Emily plays our sung prayer response!
Today’s story from scripture is one you might have never heard discussed in church. It is a story about David before he becomes king, when he is known for his skill in playing the harp, and how he helps King Saul with this gift.
We will be lighting candles for joys and sorrows during the service as well.
Looking Ahead
On June 5 we will celebrate Pentecost.
Then, June 12 we will celebrate our Church Birthday!
This Sunday, we welcome Sharon Beckstead as organist and choir director while Matt is away. Our theme today is Peace, and we will hear Makiko’s anthem Kamome (Seagulls) as we mark Asian Heritage Month (the translation is later in the email).
Last week, we turned to the poetry of T.S. Eliot as we reflected on the language of Revelation. This week, we will turn to the poetry of Korean poet Ko Un as we think about Jesus’ gift of peace.
Looking Ahead:
On May 29 we continue our Healing Series by reflecting on the healing power of Music. We are also planning for a small role reversal, as Matt leads our prayers and Emily plays for our sung prayer response!
