We conclude our Who Are the People in Our Neighbourhood series by welcoming Elder Debbie Eisan from the Mi’Kmaw Native Friendship Centre. We are going to leave the little houses up until we close for August, so if you haven’t brought one in yet, you still have time. Last week, Lauren Cullen and Kayla HeislerContinue reading “Midweek Message – May 21”

Midweek Message – March 19
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, I’m resisting getting into my garden to clean it up… leaving all the beneficial insects in it who have overwintered in it. It’s a mess! We installed a new walkway last summer and didn’t get a chance to do the landscaping, so I was exploring a numberContinue reading “Midweek Message – March 19”
Midweek Message – February 26
It’s Scouting Sunday this week, so we will have some Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, their parents and leaders joining us and taking part in the service. St. James has a long history of sponsoring the Scouts and this annual service helps remind everyone that they are not just another user of our facility, but part ofContinue reading “Midweek Message – February 26”

Worship – We continue with our Six Stone Jars series on the Abundance of Jesus by marking Black History Month with reflections from Black United Church people from across the church.

Midweek Message – October 30, 2024
Worship – I am going to share some of my experience of Hunger on the Hill, the Canadian Foodgrains Bank event that I participated in Ottawa while on Study Leave. It links nicely with World Food Day which was October 16th, which we didn’t mark, but will on Sunday. Scripture – 1 Kings 17:1-16 –Continue reading “Midweek Message – October 30, 2024”
Mission: Possible!
I spent much of last week in an old church building, an Anglican church building, on Elgin Street in Ottawa. Not quite as old as ours, and the hall that we used was bright and cheerful with comfortable chairs and a small kitchen. I didn’t attend church on Sunday morning… 😉 I was going toContinue reading “Mission: Possible!”
Midweek Message – February 28
How can it be the end of February! Worship this week is combined Annual Meeting and Worship; all the elements of worship, prayers, scripture, some brief reflections and approval of reports. We will still stream the service/meeting to Facebook Live, but if you want to speak to a report, it would be best if youContinue reading “Midweek Message – February 28”

Midweek Message – September 20th
I hope that aside from the inconvenience of losing power, everyone managed okay in the storm last week. We didn’t even lose power at our place. Every week, I say it’s a busy week! 😉 There was Food Bank yesterday morning, then I met with the Property Committee in the afternoon and then the OfficialContinue reading “Midweek Message – September 20th”
