Demanding Discipleship

Jeremiah 18: 1-11
Luke 14: 25-33

Delivered by Rev. Ron Coughlin

Prayer:
Your eternal word, O God, is always spoken
as mortal words into a fleeting moment.
As we hear mortal words from long ago,
help us to catch the eternal word behind them.
Enable us to let that word shape us and shape our future.
Give us understanding for our time and our place.
Amen. (Continued)

Thank you to Bob Birnie, project leader, and the entire Chancel Redesign Team for their amazing transformation of the front of Cedar Park’s sanctuary. This was accomplished in record time and in record heat and humidity levels in July. The project was ambitious, and many people must be thanked for their leadership and their labour for the first phase of the sanctuary renewal that has been in the planning stage for 25 years.

According to Bob Birnie, in the chancel the choir is finally facing the congregation, and the walls have been insulated. The balcony has a floor and safe access via the new attic ladder. Additional space is now available for wheelchairs and scooters in the nave. The wooden doors in the hallways have been refinished. Cedar Park has begun the physical renewal of its building to better serve its congregation and community.

Bob would like to express his appreciation to the leaders of the various projects:

Ron Williams, architect
Douglas Knight, designer
John Lanthier, contractor
Dick Hovey, riser design
Bruce Walsh, construction
