Sunday at Scarboro – May 26, 2019

Worship Start Time: 10:30am
Theme: Journey to Jerusalem - Week Five

Come to Scarboro as we worship together every Sunday. We will have the coffee on at 10, so come early and catch up with your community.

This Easter season, we are logging distance walked, steps counted, minutes of physical activity - and also spiritual activity (prayer, scripture verses, meditation), and participation in & service to our church community. Find the tear off slip on the back of the ScarboroNews to log your total 'kilometers' as we strive to cover the distance from Calgary to Jerusalem between now and Pentecost.

We have nearly reached our goal of Torrelavga, Spain this week, with just under 4000km to go (the official mileage has been tallied and posted online). Our next stop is Catania, Italy. Plan to ride your bike to church on June 2nd and pump up your tally for Bicycle Sunday!

Each Sunday we will pause to pray for the cities, towns, and countries that we pass through:

This week, we pray for the researchers and advocates who are studying the prevalence of micro-plastics in the Atlantic Ocean. We pray that governments, industry and consumers will all take measures to reduce our global production and over use of plastics. We pray for the health of the finned ones and the waters that we all depend on.

After worship, head down to the Marilyn Perkins - Memorial Hall for a cup of tea or coffee and good conversation. See you there!

This week is the Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Women's Talking Stick Healing Ceremony at 1pm in the Social Room. Please RSVP to Marilyn at [email protected]
