Message for Palm Sunday – April 13, 2025

This week we reflected on Jesus’s arrival in Jerusalem for his final week in Luke 19:28-44 and focused on a detail found only in Luke’s version of the story – Jesus weeping over the coming destruction of the city. We took some time to consider how we respond to things in the world that we have no control over, and how we can find the strength to make a difference when and where we can do something.

Message for the 5th Sunday in Lent – April 6, 2025

We’re heading back into the story of Luke’s Gospel as we approach Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter. This week we looked at Jesus’ teaching in Luke 9:18-27 and reflected on how saying no to ourselves can free us to say yes to God and to others.

Join us at 10:30am as we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection and the victory of God’s love over the power of death. Worship will include special music from the St. Andrew’s Choir and Music Team.

Join us for our Good Friday Service on April 18^th at 11:00am. We will journey together through the story of Jesus’ suffering and sacrifice through the dramatic reading of Scripture and special music from our Choir and Music Team.

Palm Sunday is when we celebrate Jesus coming to Jerusalem as God’s chosen king, a different kind of king who suffers and dies to bring forgiveness and peace.

On Sunday March 30 Rev. John Read and Rev. Aaron Gerrard had another conversation to close out our shared series on Romans with Ancaster Village Church (AVC). John and Aaron work through what we learned from the experiment of sharing a preaching series; what we learned from Romans as a whole; and how Romans can guide us in our continuing mission as churches today.

Bible Passages – Romans 15:14-33 | Luke 15:1-7

Next week we’ll jump back into the story of Luke’s Gospel as we approach the end of Lent, Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter.
