Pentecost 23 – November 8th 2020

Look busy, because Jesus is coming!

Welcome to our service this morning!

Pentecost 19 – October 11th 2020

Good morning everyone!

Jesus remember me, when you come into your kingdom.

Simchat Torah. The final day of reading the Torah for the Jewish community. This day is punctuated by singing and dancing with the Torah. It is a celebration of completing the journey through the readings of Torah. Given that Torah is the grounding of Israel in the story of their relationship with God and journey from slavery in Egypt to the coming freedom of God, punctuated by moments of promised land/kingdom of God events as well as mistakes and the reconciliation that follows.

Take a moment and consider what it would mean for you to deeply celebrate your experience of reading the Bible.
