The Peace Tower – Sunday June 30, 10:30 A.M.

The Peace Tower Under Construction, 1921

The Peace Tower Under Construction After Fire of  1916

On this holiday weekend, a warm welcome in the name of Jesus Christ and a special welcome to all visitors and friends.

After the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa burned to the ground in 1916, they were rebuilt, and the Victoria Tower became the Peace Tower. The new tower arose in the shadow of World War One as a prayer for peace, a peace that would honour the sacrifice of so many deaths by banishing war. This morning we take up this prayer for peace, and explore in scripture and sermon where we find peace (in Christ!) and how we live peace (as Christians).

During the service, we will unfurl in the sanctuary the flag that flew over the Peace Tower on November 30, 2018. It is HUGE. I had applied for a flag some eighteen years ago, and its arrival by post caught me unawares – particularly when I realized it had been flown on St. Andrew’s Day!!!

During these services of summer, our certified child care There is free parking on the streets around (please note that the time-of-day restrictions on Clergy Street north of Queen are not in effect on Sundays) and in the surface civic lot just behind the church off Queen Street.

Outdoor Service and BBQ – Sunday June 23, 10:30 A.M.

by

Our annual outdoor service!

As usual we will begin the week in praise of God, but this Sunday we will gather on the church lawn in the shade of the trees at the corner of Princess and Clergy. There will be chairs available, but bring your own comfy lawn chair if you wish.  And after the service, all are invited to stay for a festive BBQ! And the Skeleton Park Arts Festival continues through the afternoon.

Instead of being within the sanctuary, we will be looking at the outside limestone for a change … and our theme for worship this year will focus upon ‘rock’. We will ponder the psalmist’s declaration of ‘God my rock’, the provision of water brought by God from rock for the people wandering in the wilderness, and the teaching of Jesus about building lives upon solid rock. And of course we will be singing some great hymns, including ‘How great thou art’, ‘Rock of Ages’, ‘Will your anchor hold’ and ‘For all the saints’ – accompanied by John Hall with a piano wheeled out to the sidewalk and the choir on the steps.

A warm welcome in the name of Jesus Christ and a special welcome to all visitors and friends.  We acknowledge that we meet on traditional Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee territory. There is free parking on the streets around (please note that the time-of-day restrictions on Clergy Street north of Queen are not in effect on Sundays) and in the surface civic lot just behind the church off Queen Street.
