Thank you to the congregation for the lovely flowers dropped off by Harry (M&P liaison) this week; they are beautiful and remind me of the beautiful people who are part of the ministry of Trinity – what a smile was on my face behind my mask! I am grateful to all …
Lesley (from England), after participating in worship, was inspired and sent this link of a special collaboration between the Military Wives Choirs and Westminster City Council to commemorate one of the most poignant centenaries of World War One: the burial of the Unknown Warrior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J-oP1esgt4&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR3m1f28Zh0r_7H_kC5P-M0usj4_KXEhElMOM4rXTB3OyxTHDjY7Z2NlVfY

Here are the readings for this Sunday November 15, 2020 and the one we’re focusing on is in bold: Judges 4:1-7; Psalm 123; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11; Matthew 25:14-30.
Because of the Provincial Health order on October 30th, the Executive decided to continue to postpone in person, indoor worship, and close the building to all user and church groups; staff will be in for specific tasks but mainly working from home; all home visits are postponed until further notice. Be safe and be well. We’ll communicate the new information announced today with the worship on Thursday.

Scripture for the day: (Wisdom of Solomon 6:12) “”Wisdom is radiant and unfading, and she is easily discerned by those who love her, and is found by those who seek her.”
Prayer for the week: Loving God, in the midst of fear and uncertainty, you are with us. In the midst of joy and celebration, you are with us. In the midst of the fight for justice for all, you are with us. In the midst of the diversity of our world, you are with us. And we are grateful. Amen.
May blessing, peace and the knowledge that we are not alone on this journey; may God be a part of our week as we wander through our challenging days and evenings, knowing the spirit of God is part of all our experiences! May we all remember God in a way that keeps us going and be strong and be kind, loving and compassionate.
