We praise you for your mercy and grace
You go with us to the end of the age
We hold on to your unfailing love
Til the fullness of your kingdom comes

Some of the best hymns we sing are also prayers that we raise to God.

This All Saints' Sunday as we reflect what it means to be followers of Jesus - the church - let's sing this wonderful new song and prayer asking God to use us to be a church full of love and blessing for those around us. 

Daylight saving time will end at 2 a.m. on Sunday November 5th, when clocks go back one hour.

Enjoy the extra hour of sleep and see you all well-rested folks at 10am on Sunday!

Join us at Banff Food & Friends for a delicious meal every Monday from 5pm - 7pm!

- Agnostic poet, Paul Kingsnorth, reluctantly becomes Christian is a compelling interview with celebrated author Paul Kingsnorth about his recent conversion to Orthodox Christianity via Buddhism and Wicca. They talk about his concerns at the direction of the environmental movement, his love of the 'wild saints' and why AI may just be the antichrist. 

- Confronting Christianity : 12 Hard Questions for the World's Largest Religion by Rebecca McLaughlin explores 12 questions that keep many of us from considering faith in Christ. Look more closely, she argues, and the reality of suffering, the desire for diversity, the success of science, and other seeming roadblocks to faith become signposts. Jesus becomes not a relic from the ancient world, but our modern world’s best hope.

- Presence in the Modern World by Jacques Ellul addresses questions like: how should we respond toward such complex forces as technology or the state? How can we communicate with one another, despite the problems inherent in modern forms of media? Do we have hope for the future of our civilization? Ellul responds by describing how a Christian's unique presence in the world can make a difference.

"To be a Christian is to be called to a life of love, but that calling is a lifelong task that requires our willingness to be surprised by what love turns out to be."

The Bible is God's written word, given to us by the Holy Spirit as a revelation of God's acts in history and our final authority in matters of faith and practice. 

So we're making time to meet weekly to read the bible, explore and share on our weekly passage, and to grow in faith and friendship.

Come over every Tuesday at 4:30pm at The Rectory (406 Buffalo St) with Seth & Brit as they host our bible study! 

We're here for you.
