“All Heaven Breaking Loose”

A Service of Word & Feast for the Day of Pentecost
and Commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the
Church Union forming The United Church of Canada

June 8, 2025: IN-PERSON and ONLINE at 10:30 a.m.

The Rev. Matthew Emery, lead minister, preaching; Acts 2:1-21

We conclude the Season of Easter this weekend with our celebration of Pentecost: the day when the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the first disciples of Jesus, forming them into “the church” and sending them into the world in power to witness to the gospel. A day rich with power and purpose that’s often been called the “birthday” of the church, this year it happens to also mark a specific birthday, namely the birth of The United Church of Canada one hundred years ago. We’ll gather to listen for God’s Word speaking once more, to celebrate the Spirit at work among us still, and to share in the Feast of Christ’s reign, Holy Communion.
