May Service
May 23rd at 5:00
"Liberating love"
|
|
For our Universalist ancestors the belief that everyone is loved by God, that no one is predestined to be condemned to hell, was revolutionary. Now, almost 200 years later, we are living through a rise of a secular form of predestination: people are condemned for being immigrants, or trans, or some other aspect of their life and identity. Whole nations are being denied their basic humanitarian needs. Now is the time to remember the belief of our Universalist ancestors in the liberating power of love and the right of everyone to live in peace. Please join your Worship Team on May 23 to explore the liberating power of love.

Sunday June 7th at 11:00am
"Manna for the Journey"
with Casey Stainsby
Molly Nye House, 940 Lynn Road, North Vancouver
The Judeo-Christian story of how the Israelites wandered in the desert for forty years before arriving at their destination is full of rich lessons for any community going through a significant transformation. At our Sunday Gathering on June 7th, you are invited to hear and play with this wisdom story, to discover what it might have to say to you as an individual, or to you as a wider community. We might think about the promises that have been made, the things that sustain us through difficult times, and what is lost or changed along the way. The hope is that the act of engaging with an ancient story to see how it speaks to our current realities will be a kind of sustenance itself.
