Seventh Sunday after Epiphany
Black History Month
Love My Enemy?
This week we are pleased to add an in-person worship option once again! Please read further in the email for Covid protocols in-person. If you are worshiping online, join us on Zoom following the service for a time of conversation.
Our music this Sunday includes the anthem “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” and the hymn “For the Healing of the Nations.” You will also want to arrive in time for the piano prelude “Hymn to Freedom.”
This week our theme will be “Love my enemy?” as we continue reading Luke’s gospel with Jesus’ words from a level place. The Bible speaks about many forms of love – love of God, of self, of neighbour, of stranger, and of enemy. What does loving our enemy mean in practical terms? Can we really love our enemies?
Looking Ahead
On February 27 we will continue our healing series (the last Sunday of every month). We hear a short opening prayer en français, sing Shall We Gather at the River and I’ve Got Peace Like a River, and light candles for joys and sorrows.
Then, on Wednesday, March 2 we will share a short (15 minute) Ash Wednesday time of worship online only.
On Sunday, March 6 we mark the first Sunday during the season of Lent by welcoming guest preacher the Rev. Dr. John Young, Interim Principal at Emmanuel College.
