In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus often meets resistance for what he does on the sabbath. In Luke 13, he heals a bent over woman which sparks a debate with the leaders. “There are six days on which work ought to be done; come on those days and be cured, and not on the sabbath day.” Jesus offers a strong reply which raises the question – what does it mean to live a “sabbath life”? How might “sabbath living” invite us to honor God and one another with our actions each and every day?

It’s that time of year again: time to fill MCC School Kits! There are two ways that you can participate. First, you can make a monetary donation to help us buy school supplies by writing a cheque to the church and designating it ‘school kits’. Second, you can fill a kit as a family! Bags and lists of the necessary contents will be set out in the Foyer sometime in the next couple weeks, and you can pick them up, fill the bag, and bring it back to the church. To fill an MCC School Kit, you will need:
