Our message for uncertain times ...

Merciful God,

In the stillness of our souls we listen for your voice to know again that you are God.  Quiet our restless hearts with the knowledge that you are near us, keeping watch over your own.  

Our Church is undergoing change, like many communities around our Province and Country....but our wonderful congregation creates hope and help in our community, for new and positive change.

Rekindle our faith and light the lamp of hope within our hearts.  Then take us by the hand into this day that lies ahead, for where you lead we can confidently go with Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.
