This week it’s all about love, the love that’s all around us and reaches us even when we’re not aware of it.
This week it’s all about love, the love that’s all around us and reaches us even when we’re not aware of it.
This week we explore what happened after Jesus rose from the dead. It’s not the end of the Easter story; there are plenty more stories to be told from that time. Peter Haresnape explores how “in between” times shape us.
It’s Palm Sunday when Wendy Janzen, the eco minister of Mennonite Conference of Eastern Canada reminds us of our duty to honour the earth as we celebrate Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem on the back of a donkey.
On this, the 5th Sunday of Lent, we continue to explore our theme Hungering for Hope. Haven Klassen looks at the leadup to Palm Sunday where Jesus tells his disciples that he will die, but that they should not be afraid.
This is the fourth Sunday of Lent as we continue to discover what Hungering for Hope can mean. It’s also the World Day of Prayer and this service was prepared by the World Day of Prayer Committee of Palestine.
In this, the third in our Lent series, speaker Tim Schmucker examines the part that grief and trauma undoubtedly played in the actions and responses of many of the familiar characters of the Bible- both the “good guys” and the “bad guys,” and invited us to consider with more compassion their responses to the circumstances into which they found themselves.
In this, the second week of Lent Peter Haresnape reflects on what it means to truly follow Jesus with all its wonder and pain.
This is the first Sunday of Lent, a time for us to reflect and pray. Our theme this year is Hungering for Hope, and we at TUMC will be talking about climate issues and how we can prayerfully address them.
This Sunday in ‘Character References,’ Haven Klassen looks at the strange and complicated story of Balaam and his talking donkey. Why is that story in the Bible and is there anything we can learn from it?
