Collins Street Baptist Church

Welcome.

Today we continue our series, A Vocabulary of Faith. Rather than exploring a particular word, we reflect on the changing nature of language as an expression of our faith.

In this video we are privileged to hear contributions on the theme from Megan Williams and Peter Hearne. As well, we enjoy music from Kenny Ong and David Cundy and hear the voices of Lesley Iles, Anne Junor, Marita Munro, Setel Adem & Tekeste Andemeskel, Linda Cully and Sherry Maddock. And it’s a particular gift to have Graham & Merle Van Cooten lead us in prayer.

May you find something here that nurtures your spirit.

Peace be with you.

 

Welcome.

In this week’s video we continue our series A Vocabulary of Faith with reflections on the word beauty.

We are delighted to include the voices and perspectives of Megan Williams, Judy Henson, Joy Etwell, Leigh Reeves, Clair Cvjeticanin, Yelena Young, Frank Rees, Katherine Jones, Jessica Holt and Penny Mulvey.

May you experience something of God’s beauty today.

Peace be with you.

Welcome.

Continuing our series on a vocabulary of faith, today we explore the word doubt.

In our first video we hear the words of the psalmist in psalm 139 and we are led in prayer for the life and ministry of the church by our deacons.

In the second video we are pleased to have Frank Rees share with us on the place of doubt in our language and experience of faith.

Peace be with you.

Welcome.

Today in our online gathering, we begin a new series of reflections on the vocabulary of faith. We’ll be exploring words, concepts and ideas that have long been part of our religious language, seeking to understand what they mean for us today.

We begin this morning with the word salvation.

In the first video Carolyn leads us in a reflection, and in the second video we offer words of prayer for the world and ourselves.

Peace be with you.

As the culmination of the Easter season, today we celebrate Pentecost and the gift of God’s Spirit to the church and the world.

In today’s video, both of our pastors — Carolyn and Simon — share reflections on the texts from Old and New Testaments that inspire this day and call us to live in its promise.

The service also includes music from Kenny Ong and David Cundy and the voices of Penny Mulvey and Neil Wright.

Peace be with you.

Welcome.

For this seventh Sunday of Easter, we have two videos for you to watch and participate in.

The first video concludes our series on some words that changed my life. Two members of our community, Sean Winter and Marita Munro, share with us words that have shaped their faith and discipleship.

The second video includes a number of prayers that relate to the tasks and places of daily life. There’s also a favourite psalm from Brenda Holt.

Peace be with you.

Welcome back!

Traditionally, Eastertide is a period of 50 days that runs from Easter Sunday to Pentecost. That makes this Sunday the sixth of the Easter season, and so we continue the celebration of life in Jesus Christ.

Today we have two videos for you to watch and participate in.

The first continues our reflections on ‘some words that changed my life’ and includes contributions from Mark Holt, Stefanie Pearce and Sherry Maddock.

The second video includes a beautiful call to worship and a reading from the New Testament letter to the Romans, as well as a hymn and words of blessing.

Peace be with you.
