Like a River Carves Rock

Welcome to your online Sunday worship from St. George’s, Georgetown for Sunday, November 14, 2021.

Our online worship continues here on our website as we continue to act with care for each other and as we work to stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus. 

In addition, we are also now offering in-person worship services with strict protocols on Sunday’s 10am. For more information about In-person worship follow this link.

Family Ministry

Our family ministry resources this week are based on this week’s Gospel reading, Mark 13:1-8. The resources this week reflects on how God is always at work to make things new in Christ.  

In our weekly Sunday email, there are links to a helpful family page that help explain all this Sunday’s theme and also some fun colouring and puzzle pages that connect with this week’s lesson.  

Please sign up for our weekly emails to get those links to these great resources to use together with your family.  

Opening Music

Our opening hymn today is “The Church’s One Foundation.”

The Gospel Reading (Mark 13:1-8)

As he came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher, what large stones and what large buildings!” Then Jesus asked him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.”
When he was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked him privately, “Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign that all these things are about to be accomplished?” Then Jesus began to say to them, “Beware that no one leads you astray. Many will come in my name and say, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed; this must take place, but the end is still to come. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. This is but the beginning of the birth pangs.1
