Sermons from the East End

On this Cosmic Sunday, we turn our gaze to clouds, golden hour light, and Holy Mystery. Through Joni Mitchell’s lyrics, John’s gospel, and A Song of Faith, we explore Creation as relationship—both intimate and cosmic. Even when the sky feels heavy, or when we confess “I really don’t know life at all,” still the light shines.

📖 Scripture: John 1:1-18 In the beginning was the word... (From the First Nations Version)

📖 Reading: Opening stanzas from A Song of Faith (2006)

🎶 Music: Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell, performed by the East End United Choir.
