When we say, “All are welcome”, we mean ALL! Join us this Sunday for a Pentecost full of celebrating our young ones. We have a baptism, confirmation, and our youth will co-lead Communion with Rev. Brigid Maya. All are welcome!
Rev. Brigid Maya was once a school teacher. Whether a child is boisterous, shy, talkative, neurodivergent or normative… All are welcome!

We gather at 10:30am in the Parlour for worship this morning! All are welcome at St. Matthew's!

Our kin, the flora and fauna are calling,
The earth, the sea, and the sky join in,
Mother earth is hurting
they cry
We need you to act with us
they call
We need you to join us in the restoring Creation
So that our mother may flourish once more.
We need you, they plead.
Discerning God,
How do we faithfully respond to these calls?
[moment of silence]
What would you have us do?
How would you like us to act?
Guide us, we pray and lead us towards transformative actions.
Amen.

This Sunday, the second of Easter, we will hear new music from the Then Let Us Sing! hymn book, as well as a reflection by guest preacher Rev. Emily Gordon. Everyone is warmly welcomed to attend today's 10:30am service in-person and on Zoom! Details on our website - bloorstreetunited.org
