Special Guest Speaker - Reverend John Lougheed

Our summer series welcomes Reverend John Lougheed as our speaker this Sunday.

As a retired Hospital Chaplain, now working part-time as a Presider – helping  families  plan and  lead funeral Services – (Rev.) John Lougheed considers Lawrence Park Community Church (LPCC) to be among his Church homes.  In a sermon entitled “Bridges” he will explore two Scripture texts, and some  of their implications for ‘making meaning’.   Joshua 4:1-9 tells the story of an ancient people who erected a stone cairn to reflect their gratitude to God, which invites us to ponder “what do those  stones mean to us?”.  In the Gospel according to St. John  9:1-12, the story of the healing  pool  of Siloam is told, inviting us to ponder - with ‘lots of water under the bridge and few bridges under water’ (!) - “how God’s works  might be  revealed through our lives.”  As ever, there will be  lots of  great music  too in this brief,  informal, intergenerational Summer Service in  the spacious ‘prayer conditioned’ Sanctuary at LPCC.

We are happy to welcome back Scott Weidler as our organist and Michèle Bogdanowicz as our soloist.
