SUNDAY SERVICES

Re-Newed ~ Jayne Odegard Dempsey ...
Tragedy in our community brings us all together this Sunday to mourn and reflect together. Jayne's sermon is about the prodigal son and how God's love forgives us all our sins if we enter into a relationship with him.
Are We Like the Pin Family? ~ Gwennie Simpson ...
Gwennie uses a children’s story to illustrate how we must live as Christians by offering a helping hand.
Waiting... Faithfully ...
What is it God asks of us? To have faith in God and Jesus. And to practice our faith. The world is made more beautiful by acts of kindness, even small ones. Love always.
Facing the Judgement ~ Dale Jones ...
We will receive eternal life ONLY because of the gift of Jesus Christ who gave his life as atonement for sin. This is the first in a Dale's Judgement series. Pat MacKinnon is our skilled liturgist.
Shine Bright ~ Jayne Odegard Dempsey ...
Jayne speaks on Christ’s transfiguration and what it means to us today
Blessed & Growing - Jayne Odegard Dempsey ...
The Gospel of Luke is about Jesus' sermon on the plain which says that those who are poor, hungry, sad and hated are blessed, and will find their reward in heaven. This is a message of hope and we will find joy in sharing our faith and love with others, especially the poorest among us.
The David & Goliath's of Our Lives - Rev. Karen Bridges ...
Two very different Scripture show opposite reactions to crisis, but the end result is the same... we must trust in God and have faith in his mercy.
Jesus Introduces His Ministry ~ Dale Jones ...
A most interesting sermon as Dale shows how Jesus begins his earthly mission and reveals its purpose. You may learn something new from this Scripture, Luke 4:21-30, as we did! And thank you to Leola Forster and Sheila Tanton for their supportive roles!
Hymn-sing in St. Andrew's ~ Gwennie Simpson ...
Gwennie explores the origins and meanings in four old favourite hymns. All sung in the acoustic splendour of this beloved old church.
The Wisemen’s Worship ~ Dale Jones ...
The Magi were gentiles and their presence following Jesus' birth shows that everyone is accepted in God's kingdom because of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of us all.
Rev. Bethany Benz-Whittington ...
What words would you use to describe Jesus? He lives a remarkable ministry and upset the apple cart of the conventional norms of his day. He blazed a new trail in wisdom and action that is his legacy to his followers today. Rev. Benz-Whittington is a pastor in the US Presbyterian Church and lives in Maryville, TN with her husband and two children. She runs an online educational ministry providing faith formation and training resources for churches.
Christmas Eve 2024 ...
Narrators and the choir tell and sing the Christmas story. The congregation sings carols and lights candles for this most holy night.
Finding Our Joy ~ Jayne Odegard Dempsey ...
This third Sunday of Advent hear Jayne preaching on how we must live life to the fullest and find joy in all things.
Finding Peace ~ Jayne Odegard Dempsey ...
A snowstorm left us with a small, determined congregation. Jayne inspired us with a interactive story for children of all ages based on peace. Then, using the text Luke 3:7-18 she delivered a sizzling sermon on finding peace.
1st Sunday of Advent ...
St. Andrew's United in Lougheed was packed full for a musical presentation to welcome in the season of Advent.
God's Eternal Love Has a Face - Gwennie Simpson ...
Gwennie introduces the winning Christmas Sermon by Reverend Jason Meyers, giving us a different look at Christ's precipitous birth and showing us the Christ in ALL of us, even the one in the mirror.
Blessings ~ Jayne Odegard Dempsey ...
Remembering the soldiers' sacrifices and remembering Christ's sacrifice.
We Need a Redeemer - Dale Jones ...
God had the plan of redemption in place even before he created the earth and we are redeemed by what Jesus did for us.
Giving & Receiving Grace ~ Jayne Odegard Dempsey ...
God blesses us with grace despite our undeserving natures
Give Thanks ~ Dale Jones
Thankful & Giving ~ Jayne Odegard Dempsey ...
Be grateful!
Listen, Learn and Remember ...
Truth and Reconciliation week and Jayne's message is a powerful description of the truth.
Celebrate & Sing Choir piece ...
Our Choir obviously loves singing this one!
