VIDEO REFLECTIONS - Tuesdays & Thursdays
We hope to be posting a reflection on a passage of scripture every Tuesday, and a reflection on a hymn every Thursday. Our first reflection is from Rev. Graham on Psalm 138 - the psalm appointed for the Eve of the Annunciation, which was yesterday. If you would like to read along, the psalm can be found in your bible near the end of the pslams (near the middle of the bible), or on page 895 of the Book of Alternative Services. The video can be viewed here:

TOMORROW - THURSDAY, MARCH 26TH
The College of Bishops is inviting all people in the Diocese of Toronto to a day of prayer and fasting on Thursday, March 26, during the unfolding situation with COVID-19.
Throughout the centuries, God’s people have joined in unified prayer across the world in times of need. In prayerful fasting, we are brought closer to the humble reality of our dependence on God in Christ for all things.
