The morning service launches the month’s worship and small-group theme with different explorations of that theme in programming following a light lunch.

This month’s groups are: \n\nListening circle on the state of the world\nCare through justice in action: writing and signing letters with Amnesty International\nsomething creative that moves us

SUMMARY:Sunday Service: Movement
DESCRIPTION:Definitions of the word MOVEMENT: \n\nThe act or process of shunting people or things from one place to another.\nShifting our bodies in and through space — crucial for physical and mental well-being.\nA group of people who actively promote common beliefs\, ideas\, or aims.\nWorld views enlarging and evolving through openness to others’ perspectives.\n\nMovement is life. From our first breath to our last\, every heartbeat\, every step\, every reaching hand is an expression of motion. Even when we are still\, our cells are dancing\, our minds are shifting\, our spirits are evolving. \nIn this service we will explore Movement in all its meanings…..Join us this Sunday as we move together in spirit and in joy. Organized by the IPA Team.  \nDownload the Order of Service\nRelated Reading\nHomily text (Karl Perrin)\nWeekly services\n\nWe gather every Sunday morning at 11am in our Sanctuary at 49th and Oak and online at vanu.ca/live. Worship creates connections within\, among\, and beyond us\, calling us to our better selves\, calling us to live with wisdom and compassion. \n\nAfter service\, we gather in Hewett Centre for Coffee and Social Hour. Families with children and newcomers are always welcome!
