Sunday Message Series

Pastor Jim begins a series of five Sunday messages on Sunday, September 6th with the overall theme of Chat GAT: General Assembly Topics. The series of messages will focus on five significant issues addressed by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church this past June where Pastor Jim was a Commissioner and Nelani Colletti a Young Adult Advisor on behalf of the Presbytery of Ottawa. The five topics and the Sundays which they will be addressed are as follows: 
•    September 6: Christian Nationalism: Aye or Nay, focusing on the relationship between faith and civic authority. 
•    September 13: AI AI oh!!, presenting benefits and dangers of artificial intelligence
•    September 20: M.A.I.D. and Made in God's Image, discussing challenges related to end-of-life decisions
•    September 27: Continuing Truth and Reconciliation, responding to unfinished work of indigenous concerns in Canada
•    October 4: Sharing Good News, offering a case for 'evangelism' in a post Christendom society.
