Who is Jesus? Advent 2019
As we move toward the celebration of Jesus' birth, we ask, "Who is Jesus?" Who do you say that Jesus is?

Journey to the Heart of God - Fall 2019
We will be going on a journey together - to explore our relationship with God and our relationships with each other, and how relationship is necessary to grow in our faith and to mature as human beings. We will be emphasizing that we are people of a story -the Story of Jesus as found in scripture. These stories help shape our lives and our relationships. We are committed to these stories and to learning from them more about how to follow the Way of Jesus.
For the children, this theme will be framed as "Wild about God!" Come journey with us on Sundays - in person and online.

We need each other. We don't have to do it alone. We need to be hope, love, care, challenge & comfort for each other.

We Are What We Pray - Lent - Easter 2019
During the season of Lent & Easter, we are going to focus on the role of prayer in our lives as Christians. Martin Luther, who began the Protestant reformation, was a person of prayer. He once said:
To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.
Martin Luther
We will explore how prayer shapes our lives, what prayer really does, and how to pray in many different ways. Join in the Lenten journey of prayer.

Why Bother with Faith, God, Church, Jesus, and the Bible?
In 2018, in North America, to be a Christian, a follower of the Way of Jesus, is a choice we make. There are so many other activities and possibilities that call for our attention, so why do we bother? What do we make of being a church, reading the Bible, and choosing to follow the Way of Jesus? This winter, leading up to Easter (on April 1st), we'll be exploring these questions.
April 8: Let the Easter Blessings Shine! April_8_2018_sermon.pdf
April 1: Easter Sunday: Choosing Resurrection April_1_2018.pdf
March 25: Palm Sunday "Love Letters from God" (no print or recording available)
March 18: Choosing to be a Disciple of Jesus: March_18_2018.pdf
March 11: Choosing to Worship. Worship brings us back to who we are and Whose we are. Taking time to worship brings us back to gratitude, to wonder, to hope. We are made to worship; it's in our DNA. March_4_2018_sermon.pdf
March 4: Choosing the Bible. It is an old book, the Bible. The setting of its stories go back to the beginning of time. The first parts of the Bible were put in written form about 700 BCE. Nothing new has been added since 383 AD. So why do we read it? Why do we take it seriously, but not literally? There is a good reason! It's our family story and inspiration as followers of Jesus.
March_4_2018_sermon.pdf
February 25: Choosing to Pray. What can we expect of prayer? Is prayer about having our prayers answered or is it something else? February_25_2018.pdf
February 18: Choosing Lent: What is the purpose of the season of Lent? Why do we mark it as followers of Jesus?
February_18_2018.pdf
February 11: Choosing The United Church of Canada. Are we just a wishy-washy enterprise? NO! We believe firmly in living the compassion that was shown to us by Jesus. We have an important voice to offer within Christianity today.

February 4: Choosing Church. The church gets accused of being judgmental and hypocritical, but there is a good reason to belong to church. It is worth it! February_4_2018.pdf
January 28: Choosing Jesus. Jesus lived about 2,000 years ago. His ministry lasted only 3 years. But we continue to follow his teaching, live the Way he taught, and have experiences of his presence. January_28_2018.pdf
January 21: Choosing God is not about having the right beliefs, but about being open to the relationship and discovering God in both the Bible and in science and in people and in the world.
Please note: there is no print copy. A recording is available under "Listen Online"
January 14: Choosing Faith: What is faith? Do I have it? Why would I need it? January_14_2018.pdf
What Time is it, Followers of Jesus? Time to reflect on time!
This fall we are looking at time from a faith perspective. We follow time on a clock, but sometimes time seems to go so fast and other times it goes so slow. Ecclesiates 3:1-8 tells us that "For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven." We will be using the book, "Sabbath Pause" by Terry Chapman, as a basis for reflecting on time, and how we approach time as followers of the Way of Jesus. Feeling frazzled - come spend some time with us at High River United, as we reflect on time!
