Look to the Rock …

(A heart-shaped rock placed along the shore of the Sea of Galilee at Tabgha where it is said the risen Jesus asked Peter ‘Do you love me?’)

This morning begins with Kirsten and Gordon Stewart piping on the corner of Princess and Clergy, a call to worship with favourite hymn tunes.

We continue with an hour of prayer and praise led by Michael Putnam – the sermon is entitled ‘Look to the rock …’ based on Isaiah 51:1-11 and Matthew 16:13-20. And we will lift up our souls with the words and music of some wonderful hymns … A Mighty Fortress Is Our God; Your Hand, O God, Has Guided; O God our Help in Ages Past; Christ Is Made The Sure Foundation.

Michael is a Candidate for ministry in the United Church of Canada, who has obtained his Master of Divinity Degree from Queen’s University and will now complete a two year internship in a pastoral charge before ordination. Michael is the grandson of the Rev. Dr. Max Putnam, a long time (1958-1976) and beloved minister of St. Andrew’s.

Join us!

We will conclude with a responsive commissioning ….
Let us go into the world in strength and vulnerability that we may reflect the light of God’s love.
We will model light and love.
The Lord bless and keep us strong and of good courage as we continue on our life’s journey.
May we be both blest and a blessing this week. Amen
