    Worship service, 2021 (July, 2021)

      Synod Council has created a worship service as an offering of support and pastoral care to clergy and worship leaders within the synod for use in their congregations this summer. The service was assembled by the current moderator of Synod. Rev. Samer Kandalaft who serves at St. Paul's church, Kemptville and Knox church, Mountain Ontario, with contributions from various members of the council.

      For a year and a half now pandemic challenges have affected congregational life. We are thankful for technology and the abundant forms of on-line worship that have been developed to feed God’s people. At the same time we are cognizant that the on-going Covid-19 pandemic has been draining on congregational leadership. The need for rest and renewal is vital for effective ministry, and to this end this worship service is offered for use on an upcoming Sunday of your choice so that you and the worship leaders in your congregation can take a much needed break from conducting on-line worship.

      Thank you and blessings to you as you minister in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

      "The church lives to praise God. We have no higher calling than to offer the worship that belongs to God day by day, Sunday by Sunday." (Living Faith 7.3.1)
