Sunday, June 28 — Ask for Some Salt
In a traditional West African folktale and teaching a mother sends her child to borrow salt from the neighbours, even though they have salt at home. The mother in this teaching story understands that letting people give to you is as important as giving to them. Real community is built on mutual need, mutual gift, and the willingness to be seen as someone who sometimes doesn't have enough. On this final Sunday of the year, we close our season of Flourishing Together by asking what it would mean to build that kind of community. A community where we show up honestly, in need and in abundance, for one another. A community where we show up even when the building is closed for renovations, and even when we aren’t having regular Sunday gatherings for a few weeks.
(Rev. Beckett Coppola Speaking)

Updates and News
Renovations Update:
Construction Begins!
As of June 1st, our building at 244 McMahon Avenue is closed for renovations — BUT our services continue online in June!
All are welcome — join us online at 10:30am Sunday mornings!
While engineering details are being finalized for the building permit, our building is being wrapped up for construction. Inside, the packed piles we made at the end of May are protected as much as possible from dust. Outside, the site is fenced off.
Thanks to all the helpers who got us ready for the demolition - you kept us on schedule, and you rock!
