The 2023 General Assembly adopted a Confession regarding the ways in Service of Repentance, Healing and Hope flyerwhich The Presbyterian Church in Canada has silenced, mistreated and slandered the “ethnic contingent” of the church. Following the Assembly’s direction, on Sunday, December 3, 2023, at 3:00 pm (ET), a Service of Repentance, Healing and Hope will be held at St. Timothy Presbyterian Church, located at 106 Ravenscrest Dr., Etobicoke, Ontario. This service will also be live-streamed so that Presbyterians across the country may be able to participate.

As the church begins a new year with the First Sunday of Advent, we pray that this service of repentance will lead to a renewed journey of healing and hope within all parts of our church.

The service will feature leadership from the diversity of our denomination, including the Rev. In Kee Kim of St. Timothy Presbyterian Church, who will preach the sermon and the Rev. Drs. Heather Vais and John Vissers.

The service will be live-streamed and recorded for those who cannot attend in person. The link is https://timothypc.com/repentance/or visit the congregation’s website, http://timothypc.com/.

A reception will follow the worship service.

The 2023 General Assembly adopted a Confession acknowledging 1) that racist values which assume the superiority of the dominant culture [white Europeans] have shaped the church, 2) the church’s failure to recognize the spiritual gifts of all persons, and 3) restating the church’s commitment to turn from the sin of racism.
