Upcoming Events & Activities

For the sixth year in a row, the ELCIC bishops and assistants to the bishops have agreed to provide sermons for congregational use from April to September 2025.Resources include both text and video files of the sermons for each week. These are downloadable files that may be used as part of your congregation’s worship in whatever way works best for your context.
As sermons are submitted and edited, they will be posted publicly to the online folder and made available for download.
Not only are the sermons helpful to use if you need to cover vacation leave over the summer but they are a wonderful way to introduce members of your congregation to our bishops and assistants to the bishops from across the ELCIC.
To access these resources, please complete the following form by clicking here.

NEWSFLASH: ROOO is changing its name to LOFT (Living Our Faith Together)!
Last year’s retreat was a great gathering, educational and thought-provoking, thanks to our presenter Rev. Clara King, from Calgary.
We studied Peter and his journey from being a brash young follower of Jesus, through his betraying of Christ just before the crucifixion, and his emergence as a pillar and leader of the early church.
