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.

Rev. Chandra Appointed Interim Moderator at Centennial Church

Please hold Centennial Church and Reverend Chandra in your prayers as we support them during this transition and transformation time.

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.
