OUR VISION: We aspire to be a welcoming, caring, faith community that loves God through Christ.
OUR MISSION: Our love for God is expressed by seeking and serving God in Christ through worship, service, teaching and stewardship.
About this Service:
Today`s texts offer instruction and encouragement for all who are occasionally overwhelmed by the "unhappy business" of life. Jesus urges us to take care and be on guard against all kinds of greed. We who have died with Christ in holy baptism have also been raised with him and are encouraged to elevate our thinking, seeking the "things that are above". To that end we seek the sustenance of the Lord`s supper and the encouragement of God's word.
Hosea 11: 1-11
Hosea compares God's love for Israel to the love parents have for their children. Whether teaching toddlers to walk or dealing with a child's rebellion, good parents continue to love their children as they try to lead them to life. In the same way, God's love will not let Israel go.
Luke 12: 13-21
In God's reign, the "rich will be sent away empty." Jesus uses a parable to warn against identifying the worth of one's life with the value of one's possessions rather than one's relationship with God.
In our intercessions this morning we pray for:
John, Bishop of Ottawa, Fred, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada and Mardi, Moderator of the United Church of Canada.
–At Riverside Churches of Ottawa, we pray for Gerry our Celebrant, Peter our Anglican Rector, and Paul our United Church Minister; we give thanks for the ministry of our joint congregations and all who use our facilities.

Getting Up on a Summer Morning
I am never quite ready
to begin the day
until I see the night angel
blowing out the stars,
the angel of dawn
rolling in the golden bowl,
or the cloud angel
laughing down the raindrops.
Throwing on the cloak of dawn
my sleepy summer heart
forgets its craving for comfort,
remembering a deeper hunger and
I am up and out to taste the weather
whatever it might be:
hot and humid,
warm and sunny,
rainy, stormy,
maybe even the gracious gift
of a summer breeze.
As the day grows I, too, grow
lighthearted, attentive, free,
patient, grateful, wise.
Healed of indifference,
I fall in love once more.
There is something about
embracing the day
with the intimacy of a love
that makes one well again.
Only one thing is necessary,
a heart with a single eye.
My desire for spiritual healing
must be fierce. I must decide
to breathe myself alive
in any kind of weather.
The tools are given
and I decide. Macrina Wiederkehr
