Please join us this Earth Day Sunday, the fourth Sunday of Easter, April 21 at 10:30

April 21, 2024

This Earth Sunday is the fourth Sunday of Easter; please join us in person or via our livestream, as you are able, at 10:30 or view the recording at a later time.

On this Earth Sunday, as we see spring happening all around us, flowers popping out and birds singing, we are so happy that you found us. Please join us in person or online to participate in song, prayer and worship for this fourth Sunday of Easter. Jesus Christ can make the lame man walk and heal the lepper; he can wake Lazarus; he can heal the wounds of our small planet. He calls us on Earth Day to look at our role and our footprint on creation.


Edith Gardell will preside, Hilda Sabadash will welcome us and Wendy Bergeron will offer the land acknowledgment. Sue Toller will lead the Theme Conversation for children and adults. Zöe Fortier will read the scripture: Acts 4:5-12. Robert Palmai will bless us with his musical talents and James Caswell and the choir will also lead us in music and song.


Here is the bulletin for the service to follow along with the words of texts, hymns, songs and prayers. You can join the service live at 10:30 am at this YouTube link; after the service ends it will be available to watch as a recording.


Join in on the online offering plate for M&S, Outreach & GSJ operational needs! If donating online, you can indicate on the 'paypal' page where you want your gift to be dedicated. Gifting by means of e-transfer is now accepted using the email: [email protected] (please indicate to which fund you wish your donation to go to).


You can watch the video of the service here on YouTube. If you had trouble getting on to the first link, please click again, as the link address may have been updated to address technical difficulties. Alternately, consider 'subscribing' to the GSJ YouTube channel and use the 'notification' (the 'bell' symbol on the GSJ YouTube channel) to be notified when we go live. If, for any reason, the webcast is interrupted you should still be able to connect by looking for the red 'live' thumb-nail image.


You can now view the weekly announcement slides or on our "What's Happening?" page. Scroll through at your own pace, or let them auto-play - your choice! Sign up for our e-Update to keep up on more of the life and work of the church.


Let us know how we are doing! If you have any ideas, comments or feedback about the online (or in person!) worship experience, please contact the worship committee at: [email protected].
