Good morning!
When life gets tough and unpredictable, what do we do? Are we backing off or holding on? Every day brings new challenges and uncertainty, but facing them with faith can give us strength and courage. By believing in a positive outcome, we can overcome fear and move forward with hope. Remember, true faith can move mountains and light up the darkest paths. As the book of Mark says, “Do not fear, only believe”. So let’s spread this positive energy to everyone we meet today.
ANNOUCEMENTS:
Faith & Theology Thursdays at 10AM
Do you have questions about scripture or our beliefs and how they apply in our daily lives? Gather to discuss various topics, including the hard ones, that will help us understand better our walk through this world. We invite you to come and share your thoughts every Thursday at 10AM in the Narthex.
Labyrinth with Ann – Today at 11AM
Would you like to try praying in another way? Today, take a walk with Ann through the church garden’s labyrinth. We encourage everyone to use it, try it, and have a spiritual encounter with God.
CKPC Kids Graduation – Today at 1PM
We will celebrate students graduating from Kindergarten, Grade 6, Grade 9 and Grade 12! St. Giles members are welcome to join the ceremony service at 1pm. We also have time to give gifts and flowers to our students if they wish to participate!
Wild Grace – Wednesday, July 3 at 6:30PM
A time of reflection and connection with the land and with one another by enjoying and being present with the “wild” world. A time of learning, a time of contemplation and reflection, and a time of fellowship. Come and join us at Confederation Park on Wednesday, July 3 from 6:30 -7:15PM (meet in the St. Giles Presbyterian Church Parking Lot). All are welcome!
Stampede Brunch- July 7 at 11AM
St. Giles will host our annual Stampede Brunch after the service. If you wish to help by offsetting the cost of food for the Stampede Brunch, please clearly label your donation when giving through e-transfer or the offering plate. Thank you.
Music Suggestion
Do you have a favourite hymn that speaks to your heart? If so, please share your music suggestion through the church office and we will incorporate them into our worship services. Together, let’s support Esther and our choir as they continue to create meaningful worship through music.
Service in the Park – Opportunities to Volunteer:
We need volunteers to facilitate services in the park in July. If you are interested, please contact Rev. Chandra.
AFTERNOON SERVICES: For those who are unable to attend morning services, there is an afternoon service at 1:30PM every Sunday at CKPC led by Rev. Chandra Mannix. Everyone is encouraged to come!
June 30, Sixth Sunday after Pentecost: Rev. Chandra and Esther, our choir director, will lead our service today. This week’s biblical readings are from 2 Corinthians 8:7-15, and Mark 5:21-24, 35-43. These verses encourage us to deepen our faith and gain a better understanding of the grace we have received. We are encouraged to live freely, support one another, and believe in God’s power and mercy in all situations.
SCRIPTURE PASSAGE FOR REFLECTION:
When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on his own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come. He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you. – John 16: 13-14
