Easter Sunday | Holy Week & Easter (2023) | Rev. Beth Hayward | April 9 2023 | CMUC
Join us on Easter Sunday service with Rev. Beth Hayward as we continue towards the Holy Week and Easter 2023 season, live streamed on March 26, 2023 at Canadian Memorial United Church. This holiest of weeks holds the full depth and breadth of our human experience, our heartbreaks, triumphs, and countless subtle blessings. You'll be invited to light a candle with us during the service, so you may wish to get one ready now. The order of service is below. Everything else you'll need to follow along will be on the screen. Holy Week might be called liminal, meaning threshold, a place from which transformation emerges. As we walk through this time-in-between we are opened to new insights, hope and deepened faith for trying times. In the words of Father Richard Rohr we should “get there often and stay as long as you can by whatever means possible. This is the sacred space where the old world is able to fall apart, and a bigger world is revealed.” 💰If you feel called to donate to our ministries, here's the link: https://www.canadianmemorial.org/dona... **** CMUC Order of Service - EASTER - April 9, 2023 Lead Minister: Rev.
