St. Paul's United Church Scarborough

During the season of Epiphany (from Christmas to Lent), we'll be reflecting on some of our old traditions, singing some (very) old favourites, but also exploring some new ways of celebrating God, singing our faith, and listening for the Spirit.  Each week, we'll pray the Lord's prayer in a different way with a different voice. From Mahalia Jackson to Susan Boyle, from our own choir's interpretation to that of Soweto Gospel Cho...

Well actually, that's the problem. Not that Jesus is coming, but we're all too busy.  Shopping, baking, cleaning, and worrying about the holidays. New flash: that's not what it's about!!  Come by Sundays in December as we prepare for Christmas by pausing, catching our breaths, and reflecting on the meaning of the season beyond the tinsel and wrapping paper.  Even the Grinch figured that out! Sundays at 10:30. Be there or you m...

Sunday we honour the fallen, but also commit ourselves anew to building a world where peace and justice flow like a never ending stream.  10:30 a.m.

Jesus encounters Zachaeus in a tree -- and odd place by any measure. Where do we meet Jesus?  Discuss.  Sunday at 10:30 (remember to Fall Back!).

What's the right thing to do, when you think your motives may not be 'pure?'  On the eve of the federal election, it's time to ponder values and needs in our complex society. Join us for the discussion Sunday morning at 10:30. 

Marlene Britton will be our guest preacher on Sunday, October 13th.  Marlene is the Minister of Vocations for Shining Waters Region (the GTA and more), and will be sharing her experiences of ministry and teh church through her extensive career. it will be a very engaging, dynamic time! Don't miss Marlene's inspiring message. 

The fifth Sunday of the month is 'Make a Joyful Noise!' service -- worship and celebration with a musical focus. We'll sing some old favourite hymns, learn some new ones, and enjoy the talents of some guest musicians!  Be there or be square!  Sunday, 10:30 a.m.

This week, we're reflecting on a trip to the Potter's House -- no, not that kind of pot!  The kind that's made of clay as in Jeremiah 18.  When we're encouraged to leave things behind us (as in Vegas), how to we manage life when it gets shaped in a different way than expected?

With the arrival of September, we're back in full gear at St. Paul's. Join us for a celebratory service and a welcome-back bbq on Sunday, September 7th 10:30. 

And, as the song goes, the living is easy! So is worship on Sunday mornings, with a relaxed casualness, lots of old-time hymn singing, and a spiritual message of faith and encouragement. Again, as with summers past, we are blessed with lay worship leadership by members of the congregation, while Rev. Dan focuses on fall planning, pastoral care, and some personal R&R.  Andrea Whitehouse, Opah Murozoki, Rhiannon Hill, and Brian...
