This Sunday May 23rd is Pentecost. We continue our journey through Acts as the good news of Jesus makes its way to new places and new people. This week our theme is “The Church Comforts the Broken-Hearted.”
Our Home Worship service for this week will go live on YouTube at 10:30am. The service continues to be available by telephone for those without internet access. If you know anyone who is not able to access our service online have them call me at 905-407-9262 to learn how to phone into the service.
We welcome all members of St. Paul’s Church in Burlington who may be joining us this week.
