Happy Thanksgiving! We give thanks for God's goodness to us in all seasons, and for the way the Spirit helps us to lament and to give thanks.

Ever wonder how many commentaries and reference books it takes to prepare for preaching? Here's everything Lydia used for last Sunday's Exodus 13 sermon!

For those still thinking about and grappling with the sin of systemic racism within the church and how that connects to our reading of scripture, I (Lydia) highly recommend listening to a conversation between three biblical scholars that just happened via livestream at Regent College today (his link will stay up until next Monday). Do what I did and put it on while you're puttering around the house doing chores!: https://youtu.be/_b2IUYFtLMc

Our Co-Pastor, Adam Back, was ordained on Sunday September 20th! While the audio for our Zoom guests was pretty rough (our apologies!), the rest of the service went relatively smoothly, and we've now got a written copy of the sermon and the ordination litany on our website at https://www.peacechurchon52.ca/blog/ordination. Thank you to all those who attended, whether in person or online, and especially to those who helped prepare for and run this service!

For those wishing to see more of the Matthias Grünwald's Isenheim Altarpiece, which Adam mentioned in his sermon yesterday, here are some images of this powerful work of art. Also, if you want to hear his sermon again, it's available on our website: https://www.peacechurchon52.ca/content.cfm
