Sermon: Radical Inclusion by Mark Charles
“What is decolonizing? It’s hearing a different story and changing your mind.”
Rev. Dr. Cheryl Bear,
Nadleh Whut’ en First Nation
We will celebrate Communion this Sunday.
Celebrating the sacrament on Zoom creates a challenge. If you are worshiping from home, we recommend that you prepare your own elements for communion – a cup of juice or wine; a piece of bread.
We may trust that the holy mystery of the Living Christ among us which we affirm in Communion is great enough to transcend the limitations of our distance from one another in a Zoom meeting in this hybrid form of worship.
There will be an after worship discussion with Mark Charles on the themes of his sermon. For more information on Mark Charles and his visit to TPPC, access the article in the TPPC blog.
Our services continue to be held in our Sanctuary. People are welcome to come to church for worship, and we will continue to live-stream our worship service.
Facemasks are currently optional. However, if you're not vaccinated, we recommend wearing a mask.
We recommend that everyone get the COVID vaccination and booster. If you have a vulnerable health condition or just prefer to wear a mask, please feel free to do so.
For more information, access the TPPC Coronovirus page.
About Online Worship
We will gather by ZOOM (feed available starting about 10:45 AM).
Directions on how to connect and participate in virtual worship will be sent via a group.io e-mail. If you are unfamiliar with ZOOM we recommend you read up a little before the service.
We will set an informal and experimental mood, ask forgiveness as we stumble along our way in a new medium. It will be fun.
