Easter Letter 2024

March 2024

We’re going through Lent and looking ahead to Easter. Starting with that sentence, what do you find yourself thinking about? (There’s no wrong answer.)

Looking ahead to Easter, I find myself thinking about the disciples and wondering what it must have been like for them. There was the excitement of being asked to study with Jesus, and the challenges of understanding what was going on. The ups and downs get even more wild as Easter gets closer. There’s all the cheering when Jesus entered Jerusalem — which by the end of the week had shifted to calling for his death. Their attempts at following Jesus change to turning away from him. Then he’s killed. Did Jesus talking about this a few times earlier help? because the disciples didn’t seem to understand at the time… or now when he is arrested and dies – along with whatever hopes they had for a better world.

Would you have stayed or gone home? After all, what could continue after that?

Kensington in The Presbyterian Record

This article appeared in the May 2014 issue of The Presbyterian Record – written by Roland De Vries about changes at Kensington Church over the past number of years. (To the right is the front cover of The Presbyterian Record from June 1964 – 50 years ago.)

_______________

Change has been in the air at Kensington, Montreal, over the past six years as the congregation has adopted global and contemporary songs in Sunday worship. While we still sing many traditional hymns, there are new melodies, harmonies and rhythms rising into the air from sounding board, vocal cords and even the djembe.

Presbyterian Record cover June 1964Change has also been in the walls and in the ground and in the pews and in the programs and in the financial outlook. So here’s just a sampling of changes made in our congregation’s life over these past years, beyond the embrace of new musical expressions. Changes made in a spirit, I would say, of faithful common sense. Read More
