At Dunbar Heights our ministry team of Rev. Brenda Fawkes and Leenane Shiels have prepared a special series of services on the theme of Night Vision. Here's part of what Rev. Brenda wrote in our December newsletter.
"Throughout Advent and Christmas we are given, to use the words of poet Jan Richardson, night vision. We are given, through angels and shepherds and prophets, a way to find our path through any darkness we know until we reach the dawn."
NIGHT VISION: "The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it"
November 29th ADVENT ONE: Vision In The Dark: Sunday of Hope
Scripture Texts: Isaiah 11:1-10; Luke 1:26-38

December 6th ADVENT TWO: Vessels To Hold The Light: Sunday of Peace
Scripture Texts: Malachi 3:1-4; Luke 3:1-6
Marking the Anniversary and Remembering of the Montreal Massacre

December 13th ADVENT THREE: Companions In The Dark: Sunday of Joy
Scripture Texts: Isaiah 12:2-6; Philippians 4:4-7; Luke 1:39-45; Luke 46-56

The special event this Sunday was the commissioning of the Lay Pastoral Visiting team who recently completed their training.Each received a certificate plus a Companion Shawl cut from the same fabric as the Starry Blanket shared by the children.
December 15th BLUE CHRISTMAS 7:00pm, When Christmas Is Tough, a service of reflection and healing held for those grieving loss — loss of a loved one, loss of employment and security; loss of confidence and respect.
