Thanks for Supporting our "Little Free Pantry"

Our Little Pantry is emptied and refilled almost every day of the year. Drop by and check it out!

Most people think of Forest Hill as a neighbourhood of leafy trees, detached homes and people earning high incomes. What many people do not realize is that Forest Hill is also home to people on fixed incomes, immigrants and people who do not earn high salaries. These people may live in a home on a leafy street, an apartment building or in Toronto Community Housing. A characteristic they all share is the fact inflation is creating financial stress in their lives and may be contributing to food insecurity.

Church School Sundays at 11am

September - June

In-person Church School is offered September - June. Please bring your kids with you to church at 11am. They'll go out with Ann Fraser, a certified Early Childhood Educator, about 10 minutes after the beginning of the Worship Service.

Over the summer months we take a break from church school programming, but we continue to offer basic child care with a certified Early Childhood Educator.

Musings -- weekly reflections on Scripture

We're pleased to introduce this new feature to our website.

I began writing these short essays for our weekly e-newsletter. They served two purposes: First, they gave me an initial run at the Scripture that I would be preaching on -- an opportunity to start thinking about the spiritual and life questions that the sermon might address. Second, they serve as advertising; an invitation to folks to join us on Sunday morning and see how my thinking has developed between the first take on my questions and the final sermon that gets delivered.

We've started collecting these at this website so that people who aren't already subscribed to our newsletter can get a sense of what's coming up in worship. Feel free to check back weekly to see the reflection for the week, or click here to subscribe to our email newsletter and have these delivered into your inbox every Friday

Musings are available from the main menu of our website. The one reflecting the texts for next Sunday is intended to appear on the front page of our website each week.

"Advice to a Young Church"

Galatians 3:23-29

“There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28)

It’s a pretty sweeping statement! But what exactly does it mean? Does it mean simply that God loves you, whether you’re a Jew or a Greek? Or does it mean that we shouldn’t treat one set of people as having more worth than the others, any more than God does?

In other words, is this just about how God treats us, or about how we ought to treat each other? The scholars don’t agree, and we can’t just reach out and ask the author what he meant! But given that big swatches of the letter to the Galatians are criticizing Paul’s opponents who insist that people have to become Jewish in order to be Christian, I’m siding with the scholars who think this ought to be as much about us as it is about God.
