Come and party with us in Rev Elisabeth’s honour. On May 20 she receives her Doctor of Ministry from Luther Seminary in St Paul, Minnesota and the same weekend she celebrates the 20th anniversary of her ordination as a minister of word, sacrament and pastoral care in the Unitied Church of Canada. Our first opportunity to celebrate these milestones is June 3. Please join us. If you have congratulatory messages please send to the Church office.
Here’s a quick look at activities coming up under our roof November 18 – December…
Resourcing the Vision
I am writing this letter surrounded by bubbles! The photo shows some of the “vision bubbles” that have been shared by Cedar Parkers during the first four weeks of our Vision 2020 Season for Discernment.
Focussing on the upcoming preaching texts, RevE will help participants to “mind the gaps”, fill in the blanks, uncover layers in the text, and bring today’s contexts into conversation with the Gospel as told by Mark. 4 Wednesday evenings from 7:30 to 9:15, starting Sept 19 or 4 Thursdays from 9:15 to 11:00, starting Sept 20.
As a congregation we will discern together what vision God has for us between now and 2020. We’ll launch Vision 2020 at a Faith Fiesta at Cap St. Jacques on Saturday, Sept 15 from 10-6, continuing with Sunday worship at CPU on Sept 16.
Our summer worship series explores the many times Scripture reminds us that God is not only “up there” in heaven, but “down here” amongst us, pitching a tent right in the midst of creation.
July at Cedar Park is “Sabbath Time.” Worship will resume on August 5. Download your 2018 Summer Sabbath Guide here.
The amount raised is now close to $55,000, 74% of the expected investment required. This project will underwrite our food ministry for decades to come.
On Sunday June 3 after worship (approx 11.45 am) we have a celebration lunch for RevE (Rev. Dr. Elisabeth)
