From The
Pastor’s Desk
Growing up in a pastor’s home meant attending more than a few church suppers. Potlucks were always my favourite, because everyone brought something to share—Jell-O salads, meatballs in sauce, cold cuts and buns, beans simmered in maple syrup. I still remember the excitement when Mrs. Barbou arrived with her homemade doughnuts, or when Mr. Clark showed up carrying a bucket of KFC—finger-lickin’ good.
Sharing food is one of the simplest ways we express care and extend hospitality—and it’s also a vivid picture of the wisdom of God. The dishes on the table didn’t announce who was most important. No one brought the whole meal. Yet everyone was fed, because each person offered what they could.
As we conclude our Epiphany series, we turn to 1 Corinthians 1:18-31, where God’s wisdom is revealed not through signs or cleverness, but through the self-giving love of Christ—and the community shaped by that love.
Join us this Sunday, in person or online, as we reflect on the wisdom of God.
