SUNDAY MORNING

Welcome to Saanich Peninsula Presbyterian Church. 

Our worship takes place at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday morning both in-person and online (via the SPPC YouTube Livestream button above). We invite you to join us each week as we continue to explore and follow the Word of God. Following the service, there will be a fellowship time at the back of the sanctuary.

For the safety of your neighbours, when you attend worship: 

• Please, perform a health check prior to attending.

• Please, use provided hand sanitizers.

• While masks are not required, feel free to wear one if you prefer.

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday.

News for Sunday, May 28, 2023

This Sunday we celebrate Pentecost, sometimes referred to as "the Birthday of the Church"; for what we commemorate is the day that the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the disciples of Jesus Christ, following His death, resurrection and ascension. On that first day of Pentecost the disciples began to publicly and, indeed, miraculously proclaim Jesus to the crowds gathered in Jerusalem and soon, what had been a somewhat ragtag little group of followers became a congregation of thousands as the people heard the Gospel and were transformed. Together they would worship, pray, study, fellowship and break bread , caring for one another. In time that Church of Pentecost would grow even to the ends of the earth; even to here on the Saanich Peninsula. But without the Holy Spirit it would have been and will be nothing. So this Pentecost Sunday we celebrate not only what happened, but what is happening as the Holy Spirit continues His work with us.

Our service on Sunday will begin as usual at 10:00 a.m. It will be broadcast via our live stream here.

Our scriptures will be:

• Psalm 34:1-10

• Acts 2:1-4

• Romans 8:14-21, 35-39

This week our choir is singing Gifts of the Spirit: Love, Joy and Peace by Austin C. Lovelace and Fred Pratt Green.
