Back to Home

There are six Sundays in the season of Easter. White, the colour of light and a reminder of the light Christ brings to the world, is the liturgical colour of the Easter season, a reminder of the hope and joy of being
a Resurrection people.
Easter Sunday is the first Sunday of the season; you'll find pictures from that joyous service here

Ascension Sunday

Ascension Sunday marks the end of the Easter season; looking forward, next week we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit to the Disciples, the birth of the Christian church.

Cathy encouraged the children to notice the colour of the choir's stoles and the colours decorating the church. White is the colour of Easter and of Ascension Sunday. Then she shared her colourful leis, sharing that next week we wear red, the colour of the Day of Pentecost.
Our very special musicians enhanced our service with a Prelude, Offertory and Postlude.
We celebrate their presence with us.

Here you will find Leenane's sermon.
Below you will find pictures and sermon links our six Sundays of the Easter season.

Easter Two

The scripture passage for the second Sunday of Easter, the story of Doubting Thomas,
was enlivened by a dramatic reading.

Click here to read Rev. Brenda's second Sunday sermon, "Are You for Real?".

Easter Three

Saul's conversion on the road to Damascus is the story that shapes the children's time
and the sermon for the third Sunday of Easter.
Read Rev. Brenda's sermon here.

Easter Four

The Fourth Sunday of Easter was Hospitality and Refugee Sunday planned and led
by the Outreach and Refugee committees.
You can read Leenane's sermon, "Hospitality for the Stranger in our Midst" here.

On the following Friday night we gathered as a congregation to share Ethiopian food,
to hear refugee stories and to celebrate a birthday.
Here's one picture from that evening and a link to pictures of the full evening.

Easter Five

The focus of the Fifth Sunday of Easter was the the Emerging Spirit campaign, WonderCafe and the Paint Your Faith project in Toronto and Vancouver. Paint Your Faith, the latest initiative of WonderCafe, brings together acclaimed aerosol artists working to express their interpretation of faith.
Artists take a blank wall and turn it into their own personal canvas, creating a piece of art that changes the landscape and opens conversation about what faith, spirituality and art is really about.

On this Sunday, Cathy spent time talking with the children, sharing pictures and explanations of the faces and images in the murals. Three of our DHUC young people had created their own paintings
which were part of Cathy's sharing with the children.

Use the links here to read more about the project in Toronto and here in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside. The Toronto mural.
Here is the Vancouver mural completed.
Look here for the Vancouver Paint Your Faith website and to see the mural in context in the Downtown Eastside.

Easter Six

Mothers' Day and Christian Family Sunday was a day to celebrate families, all the kinds of families that there are. With the pictures from "The Family Book" on the screen, the whole congregation appreciated and shared the children's pleasure.
Rev. Brenda's sermon is here.
