September 22nd, 2024 - Livestream from Glebe St James United Church at 10:30 AM

Welcome! This is a livestream from GSJ United Church in Ottawa, ON, Canada on Sunday, September 22nd 2024 at 10:30 AM. Thank you for joining us for service on this Third Sunday of the Season of Creation! Today we will explore how Jesus redefines greatness through servanthood and humility, challenging us to embrace the values of love and service in a world often driven by status and power. Rev. Dr. Teresa Burnett-Cole will preside, Marsha Hay Snyder will welcome us, Marilyn Hamilton will offer the land acknowledgement, and Rev. Sue Toller will lead the Theme Conversation for children and adults. Wayne MacWhirter will read the scripture: James 5:13-20, and Mark 9:30-37. Our Minister of Music, James Caswell and the choir will lead us in music and song; the choir will sing "Thou Art God" (Lionel Bourne) as the Gift of Music. Every service at Glebe St. James begins with a welcoming message and land acknowledgement that says 'Glebe-St. James is an Affirming Community of Faith in the United Church of Canada. Everyone and their gender, race, ethnicity, abilities, and sexual orientation is welcome and celebrated in our worship. We acknowledge that we are guests on this land where we gather in worship this morning. We are on the traditional unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg Peoples.' Consider 'subscribing' to the GSJ YouTube channel and use the 'notification' (the 'bell' symbol on the GSJ YouTube channel) to be notified when we go live. If, for any reason, the webcast is interrupted you should still be able to connect by looking for the red 'live' thumb-nail image on your YouTube home screen if we were able to reestablish our livestream. If that doesn't work, we will do our best to post the recording at a later date and will advise you of that on our Facebook page.
