WORSHIP WITH LEASIDE UNITED CHURCH
February 13, 2022
Sixth Sunday after Epiphany
Black History Month
Words from a Level Place
Luke’s gospel tells us that Jesus teaches his disciples and the crowds gathered about him from a level place – and his words that we hear in this service are also about a kind of leveling. How might we work towards level places in our own lives and in our wider world? Where is leveling needed?
As we look ahead to Valentine’s Day on Monday – and this year to Broken Hearts Day on Tuesday, we remember that we respond to the words of Jesus from our hearts first rather than our minds. Our small spiritual practice this week is also about paying attention to our hearts.
Our service music this week include the anthem Abendfeier in Venedig by Clara Schumann and the closing hymn “I’m Gonna Live So God Can Use Me.”
Whether you worship on Zoom or YouTube, join us on Zoom following the service for a time of conversation.
Next Sunday
On February 20 we will share another service from the larger United Church: Black Experiences in Canadian Churches, created by 6 Millenials and Gen Zs.
Also, our monthly In the Wild gathering will be at 9am on February 20th on the church lawn. Wear a mask and come dressed and ready to Celebrate Snow!
