Good morning!

Every day offers us the opportunity to plant seeds of kindness, patience, and encouragement. A smile, a helping hand, or a gentle word may seem small, but these simple acts can grow into hope and joy for someone who needs it most. Even when the journey feels tiring, remember that the smallest seed can grow into a mighty tree, and God’s strength is always with us to help us keep going. Don’t forget—your small acts of love matter more than you know.

On a sad note, Audrey Harms passed away on June 17. St. Giles extends prayers, love, and deepest sympathies to her family. A memorial service will be held on Monday, July 28 at 2:00 PM at St. Giles.

Rev. Chandra Appointed Interim Moderator at Centennial Church
Rev. Chandra has been named the Interim Moderator of Centennial Church. She will be supporting them in their time of being without a minister, moderating their session, providing leadership as they step into preparations of seeking a minister, and will occasionally perform funerals, baptism and occasional preaching. Please hold Centennial Church and Reverend Chandra in your prayers as we support them during this transition and transformation time.

Card Tables Needed
Do you have a card table at home that you would like to donate to St. Giles? Or…please watch for them as you browse Garage Sales this summer. Thanks for your help!

Evening Bible Study postponed until July 14
Our weekly Bible Study will resume on Monday, July 14 at 7:00 PM. We invite you to join us as we gather in Confederation Park to read scripture and connect with one another and our neighbours in the beauty of the outdoors.

BIBLE STUDY: Every Wednesday at 10:15 AM

AFTERNOON SERVICES: For those who are unable to attend morning services, there is an afternoon study and prayer at 1:30PM every Sunday at St. Giles led by Rev. Chandra.

July 6 – 4^th Sunday after Pentecost: Our minister, Reverend Chandra, is away this week. We are pleased to welcome Reverend Fiona Swanson, who will be leading us in worship, together with Malcolm Edward, our choir director. This week’s Scripture readings are from Galatians 6:7-10, and Luke 10: 1-11, 16-20. These passages remind us that following Christ means faithfully doing good and sharing His message, even in the face of hardship or rejection. We are called to persevere in sowing spiritual seeds, trusting that God will bring a harvest in His time. Our greatest joy comes not from visible results, but from knowing that our names are written in heaven.

SCRIPTURE PASSAGE FOR REFLECTION:
“The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields. Now go, and remember that I am sending you out as lambs among wolves.”   
Luke 10:2-3

Good morning!
 

As the days grow longer and the warmth of summer fills the air, we’re reminded of the beauty and joy this season brings. Summer invites us to slow down, reflect, and enjoy the simple blessings of each day. In the same way, God invites us to follow Him with open hearts and full surrender—letting go of distractions and choosing to walk with faith, purpose, and trust.

June 29 – 3^rd Sunday after Pentecost: This Sunday, we are ledby our minister Reverend Chandra, our choir director Malcolm Edwards, and by our St. Giles Choir.  This week’s Scripture reading are from Luke 9:57-62, Galatians 5:22-25, and 2 Kings 2:1-14. These passages remind us that the journey of faith is one of letting go, stepping forward, and living in the Spirit. We are called not only to believe, but to follow with courage—trusting that God will equip us, fill us with His Spirit, and lead us into the next chapter of His calling on our lives.

SCRIPTURE PASSAGE FOR REFLECTION:
“For the ones who belong to Jesus, the Chosen One, have nailed their weak and broken humanity to his cross. This puts to death all their wrong desires and broken ways.”  Galatians 5:24, FNVNT

Good morning!

This week, as summer begins with rainfall and grey skies, we’re reminded that not every new season starts with sunshine. When our thoughts feel heavy and life doesn’t seem to make sense, it’s okay to slow down, pause, and simply breathe. Just like Jesus helped the man who felt lost and broken, He is ready to meet us today, bring healing, and give us a fresh start—reminding us that even on the cloudiest days, our spirits can be renewed with hope and light.
 

Chris Browne give thanks to God for her health and wish to thank St. Giles family for the special celebration of her birthday.

He gives us a new identity, a new community, and the strength to walk forward in faith.

SCRIPTURE PASSAGE FOR REFLECTION:
For we are all sons and daughters of the Great Spirit through our trust in Jesus, the Chosen One.”
