12/20/2025

We have services coming up this Sunday, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I hope you will be able to take time for worship in the midst of your other Christmas activities.

• Our Christmas Day service will be held online at 10:00 a.m. It will be a service of readings and music. Various members of the parish have prerecorded readings to give the best sound quality. I have Simone Pitot and Piper O’Neil-Doak working with me on the music. It will be an hour of quiet reflection, traditional music and entering into the story of Christmas. Link for online services: https://www.holyspiritlakelands.ca/worship.
• Christmas Eve service will be held at 4:00 p.m. at the church. We will need to keep our eye on the weather.
• This Sunday we are at the church for an Advent 4 service of Holy Eucharist at 11:00 a.m.

I wish you and your family the best of the Christmas season.

The Rev. Jack Risk
