June 14, 2026 | Resurrection Affirms — Praying in the Dark
Luke 7:17-22
Speaker: Vikki Randall

This Sunday, we'll reflect on how we can live realistically—and with genuine hope—in the tension of the "now and the not yet." Together, we'll explore how the hope of God's coming Kingdom shapes the way we pray, trust, and live amid both answered and unanswered prayers. When we cannot see clearly, how do we continue to hope?

Over 25% of people in Canada report they have some type of disability. This is no different for the church. We have people with physical, emotional, mental, and cognitive disabilities enter our doors weekly.

The purpose of an AccessAbility week is to remind us to recognize:
• the valuable contributions and leadership of persons with disabilities in our midst
• the work of allies, organizations and communities that are removing barriers (including churches)
• the ongoing efforts to become a more accessible and disability-inclusive place for people to participate fully

Prayer

Father, thank you for creating ALL of us in your image.
You welcome us all to celebrate and enjoy being part of your family.

Thank you for those who move differently
Thank you for those who see differently
Thank you for those who think differently
Thank you for those who feel differently

As they teach about our world,
give us ears to hear them
and eyes to see as they see.

Father, you give diversity in your Creation,
open our eyes to see it everywhere.
Help us notice the diversity also expressed
in the amazing humanity that represents you!

Lord, help us to celebrate the strengths
of those who may do things differently.

Lord, help us to continue to work to remove the barriers
for those who struggle to flourish.

Lord, help us to make our spaces more inclusive
for all who desire to be with us.

We pray for those who still feel unheard or unseen
that we will begin to celebrate the gifts they bring to our community.
Open our eyes to see them and what they can bring.

We pray for those who cannot be in our midst
often due to pain or fatigue.
Help us not to forget them.

We pray for those who have difficulties moving
and miss opportunities we take for granted.
Help us to make their paths easier to participate.

We pray for those who struggle to communicate—
their joys, ideas, feelings, or concerns—as language is difficult.
Help us take the time to listen.

We pray for those who experience depression
or mental health challenges
that inhibit their participation in the church.
May we continue to extend grace and compassion.

Lord, help us to break down barriers to ALL
who come to your table
to celebrate what you have done in Jesus.

Amen.

May 31, 2026 | Resurrection Affirms — A New Heaven & New Earth Are Coming
Revelation 21:1–6a, 22–27 (NIV)

This Sunday we conclude our resurrection series and reflect on Revelation’s breathtaking vision of God’s promised future — a new heaven and new earth where God dwells fully with humanity and makes all things new. Jesus’ resurrection affirms that this future is real: not abandonment, but the renewal and restoration of creation.

Revelation also offers a beautiful picture of the nations bringing their treasures into the city of God — not closed borders, but the diversity of peoples, cultures, and gifts being welcomed and celebrated in God’s kingdom.

In Christ, the life of the world to come has already begun, and our worship becomes a foretaste of that coming reality. The question before us is this: How should this future vision shape the way we live now? How do we become a people who reflect the future God has revealed?

The past week, we saw that Jesus' resurrection confirms:
We have a great King—with the power to act.
and a great High Priest—with a heart that cares.

Here is the prayer we prayed:

Lord Jesus Christ,
you know each of us
by name.

You see the burdens we carry,
the worries we hold,
and the unspoken cares
we bring into this moment.

Thank you
that you stand forever
before the throne of God above,
interceding for us
with compassion, mercy,
and grace as our great High Priest.

Remind us, O Lord,
that we are not hidden from you,
but are seen in our weakness,
heard in our prayers,
and held fast in your steadfast love.

Lord, in your mercy,
Hear our prayers again.

Grant healing
to our hurting bodies.

Bring hope
where there is uncertainty.

Give us wisdom
where we need guidance.

Remove obstacles
we cannot overcome ourselves.

Speak peace
to our anxious souls—
your peace
which surpasses all understanding.

Hold us close,
even when your presence feels far.

Renew and restore us
with the assurance
of your personal presence
in and through all things.

And, Lord,
keep us firmly rooted
in this unshakable truth:
that in you
we are always seen
always heard
always loved.

In your beautiful name, we pray,
Lord Jesus.
Amen.
