This Sunday is holy humour Sunday. Wear bright colours if you are able.
We would like to invite you to come early this Sunday to join in another sing-a-long. Starting at approximately 10:05 a.m.-ish.
It is often celebrated on the Sunday after Easter (sometimes known as “Bright Sunday”) —is designed to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ with joy, laughter, and playfulness, focusing on the theme that God had the “last laugh” on the devil. It is a revival of an ancient Christian tradition where communities celebrated the victory over death, treating the resurrection as a joyous, divine surprise. Everyone needs a good laugh once in a while. The second Sunday of the Easter Season is the perfect time for worshipers to laugh together as a growing number of congregations celebrate Holy Humour Sunday.

On behalf of Barry and Karen, and myself, we want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who generously donated winter clothing for those experiencing homelessness this past winter. Your kindness has provided warmth, comfort, and dignity to individuals who face the harsh realities of winter without the security of a home.
Because of your compassion, coats, hats, mittens, scarves, and other essentials have reached people who truly need them. These gifts are more than practical items — they are expressions of Christ’s love made visible through your generosity. You have helped remind our neighbours that they are not forgotten and that they are held in care by this community. Thank you for living out the Gospel in such a tangible and meaningful way. May God bless you for the warmth you have shared and the hope you have offered!
Cheers! Ray
Maundy Thursday is the day we recall Jesus institution of the Lord’s Supper, we commemorate Jesus washing his disciples feet, and we are reminded of the desertion of the disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane as Jesus is falsely arrested by the religious leaders.
This is an important service where we silently watch as the altar is stripped of all its adornments and left bare during Good Friday and Saturday. The service is celebrated with a potluck supper as we remember Jesus admonition to gather together in fellowship.
