Messiah has been seeking God and serving this neighborhood of Toronto for more than 125 years. We are fresh, informal, and highly engaged. Messiah is the kind of place where the weekly Bible readings are followed by discussion time during services – but that doesn’t stop us from enjoying beautiful music and the fullness of Anglican-style worship.
A VERY SPECIAL WELCOME TO REV. ELIVERED MULONGO!
As you may know, since Rev. Tay Moss left our Church in 2022 to administer CHURCHx, we have been without a permanent priest. We had Rev Bob Bettson as interim for most of that time, supported by Canon Donald Butler and Canon John Hill. The Bishop recently appointed Rev Molungo to be our rector. She comes to us from Kenya, by way of St Chad’s at Dufferin and St Clair. She has been in Canada for many years, is highly educated (PhD from U of T and a translator of the Bible), thoughtful, and kind. I hope she is as excited to be here as we are to have her!
ASCENSION
While he was blessing them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven
JUNE 01, 2025 10:30 AM
These are the readings for June 01. We don’t print them in the leaflet to encourage active listening, but you can get a head start here!
Acts picks up where the gospel according to Luke ends, with a small overlap. Luke and Acts are by the same author, whom we call Luke. Both books are written to Theophilus, meaning lover of God. This may be a person, but it may be any reader who loves God.
Acts 1:1-11
Paul has written of the Father’s wisdom and insight in making known to us his will, his plan for completion of the restoration of the faithful to oneness with him, as told by Jesus. That both Jews and Gentiles share so much he sees as a milestone in this plan.
Ephesians 1:15-23
After his resurrection, Jesus has appeared to Cleopas and two other followers, and has shared a meal with them. They have hurried back to Jerusalem to tell of their experience to the eleven disciples and other followers. He has invited them to check that he is really present, and has eaten a piece of broiled fish.
Luke 24:44-53
