At 10:30am join us in-person, on Zoom, or on YouTube for our weekly Sunday morning worship.

We are pleased to be joined by Cheryl Stenson this morning as our worship leader, as Emily completes a week of study leave. Cheryl has been a member of Glebe Road United Church since getting married there in 1996. She began at Glebe serving coffee and tea in fellowship hour, became secretary of the board, then Clerk of Session, and then Chair of the Board for many years. Her greatest joy at Glebe has been singing in the choir and the yearly musical events. Cheryl took the Licensed Lay Worship Leader (LLWL) course with the United Church of Canada, receiving her license in December 2021.

Today’s theme is “Saying YES to God” and our music will include the anthem “You Do Not Walk Alone” and solo “Great Is Thy Faithfulness.” We will also sing What Does the Lord Require of You? and I, the Lord of Sea and Sky (Here I Am Lord).

Looking Ahead

Next Sunday at 10:30am, April 10 is Palm Sunday, and our service will have the theme “The Voices of Hope.” We will take time to be the crowd as Jesus enters Jerusalem.

On Maundy Thursday, April 14 we will share a short Communion service over Zoom at 7:30pm, as we remember Jesus’ final meal with the disciples.

On Good Friday at 10:30am, April 15 our service “A Voice of Grief” will move through the story with music, scripture, and reflection. We will be hearing two beautiful new anthems for the first time, along with “Were You There?” arranged by Bob Chilcott.

Then on Easter Sunday at 10:30am, April 17 our service “The Voice of Love” will include Easter music recorded by the joint Leaside and Northlea choirs, along with an anthem by the Junior Choir, and a trumpeter live Sunday morning. For those who are young or young at heart, we will have special Easter stickers and colouring bulletins for the service, along with all of the usual books, colouring materials, and other items in our children’s area in the sanctuary.
