Welcome to CSBC online.
Today we hear some reflections on the themes of Comfort and Isolation led by Simon Holt and Ben Verghese, with prayers and readings from Carolyn Francis, Brenda Holt and Shirley Graves-Mortimer, and music played by David Cundy.
Peace and grace to you all.
Welcome.
In today’s video we listen in on a conversation between our pastors, Simon and Carolyn, as they reflect together on the meaning of faith in times of disruption.
Know that as we gather today, even in this virtual way, we do so as a community bound by our common experience of God’s grace.
Peace be with you.
Welcome to CSBC Online for Sunday July 19.
As we continue exploring the Vocabulary of our Faith, today Rev Carolyn Francis reflects on the word Spirituality, and what it means in our contemporary context. We enjoy music from David Cundy and Kenny Ong, and hear some words of wisdom from some of our CSBC friends.
For lovers of organ music there is an organ postlude at the end of the service.
Peace be with you.
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.

May you experience something of God’s beauty today.
