"the word became flesh and moved into the neighbourhood"

if we claim to be followers of Jesus, then they way he lived his life on this planet presumably has huge implications for the way we live our lives. this sunday we continue our exploration of some of those. live music, soup & bread, coffee, tea, good conversation, great people!

spent a couple of days in Toronto this past week, speaking to various people and teaching a class on church planting at Wycliffe Colege. thank you to those of you who prayed for me while I was away. last week we talked about the people who have supported and encouraged us in following in the Jesus way, and also how we could be people who support and encourage people in the same way. praying to God on behalf of others seems a basic thing most of us could manage. expressing our hopes as well as our concern for other followers of Jesus needn't be so hard or as mysterious as it sometimes seems to be.

sunday november 8

we gather at the Undercroft at 5.00pm to eat bread & soup, catch up with one another, listen to some live music, and importantly spend some extended time praying using a variety of styles. it would be great to see you there. so think about people and concerns you'd like to pray for, and about creative ways in which you could do that!

all saints day

sometimes it's hard to remember that everyone who ends up memorialised in a stained glass window starts off as a real live human being like us! it's funny how we often turn 3 dimensional people into 2 dimensional "saints", something always seems to get lost in the process! so today we'll talk about who are our heroes of the Jesus Way. there'll be food, friends, music, all the things you'd expect to find where people gather around Jesus!

"celebrate the feast!"
we often find ourselves hemmed in by various kinds of barriers, stopping us from getting where we would like to get to. in addition to celebrating the Lord's Supper together we will be looking at the barriers that people have that prevent them from checking out Jesus, with the aid of the experience of a 1st century formerly blind beggar! we start at 5.00 pm in the Undercroft, with bread & soup, hopefully some live music, interesting people, and plenty of conversation. hope to see you there!

yes, thanksgiving day really is next monday. seems to me the time between labour day and thanksgiving gets shorter each year! it's always a good time to get together with family and friends, and I expect many of you will be doing so this coming weekend, which will take some of you out of town. but by the same token that means some of us will be in Montreal. so this sunday october 11th, we are going to gather in the Undercroft at 5.00pm to enjoy a Thanksgiving Poutine together, and share times when we have felt especially thankful. feel free to bring a favourite poem, psalm, song, whatever, that expresses what you feel, and of course be ready to share it!

sunday september 27
sees two exciting events take place.


at 10.00 am in Phillips Square sees the start of the Stop Child Trafficking Walk fundraiser.

then at 5.00 pm we gather in the Undercroft to celebrate God's love for us and to baptise our youngest emerger!

a baptism gives us an opportunity to look at some of the core issues involved in being followers of Jesus. if you come on sunday, and I very much hope you do, you will be asked the question, "Will you...do all in your power to support these persons in their life in Christ?" the "persons" here are not just the one being baptised, but also their parents, and godparents. it is a really good question, and one that is worth taking some time to think about before we blurt out the enthusiastic response, "We will." what may constitute support for these friends now and in the future? what does supporting someone in their life in Christ involve? baptism seems to be very much about setting a direction for life, about a desire to live life in Jesus' distinctive way.

I have a friend for whom alchohol has been a formidable foe. I recognise and support their determination to struggle against its power. and so I attended their celebration of several years of sobriety, it was one way in which I could support them. however inviting them to a pub (ordinarily a perfectly okay thing to do) would probably not have been a supportive act, because it didn't respect their commitment to sobriety. so being supportive includes positive as well as negative elements. doing certain things that would be helpful and not doing other things that would not be helpful. as we think about supporting one another in our life in Christ, we need to consider both forms.

basically any excuse to have a picture of loons is a good one!
one of the many things I like about loons, apart from their appearance, their cries, etc.) is their unpredictability. when they dive, it is impossible to predict just where they will surface. of course "we shall not live by unpredictability alone..." but in a world that sometimes seems oh-so-predictable, it's great to be surprised by a splash of water and a growing ripple from an unexpected direction!

sunday september 6
no gathering at the Undercroft this week, instead you are invited up to Nick & Su's cabin in the woods. the idea is to arrive mid-morning, enjoy the delights of the Laurentians, help us furnish & eat a barbeque, and return to the city in the evening! sounds good? you need to let us know if you are coming. so email me at the address on the right asap.

happy Labour Day!

In the past sometimes a song which is brought to emerge by the musicians may have meaning or motivation that sparks discussion; this is a great thing. We decided to give a little blurb once in a while on here, about our particular connection with a song we've brought to emerge.

Here is a link to my blurb about Lanois' The Maker.

This time I wanted to mention the song "There is a kingdom" by Nick Cave.

Catou actually asked us to play it for Daphne's christening and although we couldn't learn it in time it has become a favorite.

Just like a bird that sings up the sun
In a dawn so very dark
Such is my faith for you
Such is my faith
And all the world's darkness can't swallow up
A single spark
Such is my love for you
Such is my love

There is a kingdom
There is a king
And he lives without
And he lives within

The starry heavens above me
The moral law within
So the world appears
So the world appears
This day so sweet
It will never come again
So the world appears
Through this mist of tears

There is a kingdom
There is a king
And he lives within
And he is everything

It's unusual to me to have such a simple declaration of faith presented in such original and beautiful wording. The musical arrangement is similarly dead simple yet lush and memorable. In a rare Cave song that doesn't involve cathartic violence of some sort, (not your everyday contemplative sing-a-long), this is to me one of the most easily singable yet profound and moving songs to do as a group. Thanks Catou!

with descending temperatures it really feels that this year's version of "summer" is quickly coming to a close, not that I am trying to hasten it's demise of course. I am a big fan of summer after all! people have been travelling to exotic places, renewing friendships , meeting new family members, or just dodging the storms. the emerge community has spent a lot of time away from the Undercroft in the past few months, flying kites at the Old Port, picnicing & discussing scripture on the McGill field, celebrating the feast on Mont Royal, meeting in "house churches", and serving supper at the Old Brewery Mission!

sunday august 30
as some of us head back to school ( some people just can't get enough!) we head back to the Undercroft this sunday for a "welcome back corn roast!" to say farewell to summer and hello again to one another. a good time to catch up on one another's summers and what's been happening. so 5.00 pm is the time, bring yourself and maybe a friend. we'll provide the corn, butter, napkins, drinks, and hopefully some live music!

sunday august 23

no gathering at the Undercroft again this sunday. one of the things we wanted to try out this summer was to try meeting in three different homes as "house churches" on the same sunday, but at different times, in different parts of the city. so tomorrow we will all be interacting with Acts 2.41-47, looking for similarities and differences between the first community of 1st century followers of Jesus, and us. so taking a look at the passage before you meet would really help! contact us at the address to the right to find the "house church" nearest you.

sunday august 16
a bunch of emergers will be helping to serve supper to over 300 hungry people at the Old Brewery Mission. We will meet at 4.15 pm at metro Place d'Armes, St. Urbain Street exit, and walk over to the OBM at 915 Clark & St. Antoine. It would be great if you could make it, they even give us supper with the volunteers and staff after we serve the others! It's usually finished by 6.30 pm so you still have your evening.

update! four emergers helped serve over three hundred people with a meal!

God gave as a break after all!!

“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." Jesus in John 3.8. TNIV

two basic options exist, meet at 5.00pm at the Undercroft and we'll walk up to the Mont Royal Kondiaronk Lookout, or take the bike/bus/car to the mountain, then head for the grassy area behind the Chalet where we'll rendez-vous at 5.30-6.00 pm to picnic and celebrate the Lord's Supper together. it's a "bring your own picnic plus something to share" deal, you may also want to bring something to sit on as the grass may be a little damp! of course if it is raining we'll end up staying at the Undercroft!

somehow I've become convinced "God loves jazz", well maybe not every single piece that claims the title but the idea of jazz. so this sunday we'll gather at 5.00 pm on the McGill field to explore what evidence I can bring to support my assertion! let's do the bring-your-own-picnic-plus-a-little-extra-to-share thing, it seemed to work well last time. that will leave plenty of time for those who want to to catch the Ben Harper play the closing show of the Jazz Festival at 9.00 pm.

Ondrej and Emilie will be hosting our gathering, as Nick and Sue will be celebrating their daughter Katie's wedding (congratulations!). We will get a chance to see Katie for her photo session above the Undercroft, around 6:30, to congratulate her in person.

The plan for Sunday night is to focus on a reading from Nehemiah, a prophetic leader in the old testament.

We would encourage you to think, in preparation for Sunday evening, about a project that would unite us (and how it would unite us), just like the building of the walls of Jerusalem united the "exiles" (we will find out more about this in the reading).

What project would help us define our Christian identity as a group and individually? Ondrej and Em think that: a project that would unanimously (in one spirit) agree to would be a glorification of God - a project that would build us up as a community, relationally rather than the usual consumer-me-and-only-me-egocentrism. What does this mean practically? What shape would it take?

Come hungry!

Ondrej will prepare sabjee (Indian vegetarian stew) and rice. Emilie will prepare something (she doesn't know what yet - a desert and/or soup).

See you Sunday!

this is an exciting time of year in Montreal. we've already celebrated the summer solstice & St. Jean Baptiste's Day, and now we gird our loins (whatever that means) for the upcoming Jazz Festival which opens tuesday night with Stevie Wonder (yes, that Stevie Wonder) in a free concert. aren't you just green with envy?

last Sunday’s free museum day didn’t exactly work as planned, eight of us met in 2nd Cup on McGill College, and five of us were my family! Ah well, we tried something different. Things have been busy for me with a visit to Oshawa and a day for clergy & lay leaders in Loblaws LaSalle! Busy & good though.


Sally sent me this in response to the flash mob guerilla worship video I forwarded,


"Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God:
But only he who sees, takes off his shoes,
The rest sit round it, and pluck blackberries,
And daub their natural faces unaware
More and more, from the first similitude."

the last two sunday evening gatherings have seen us "marinating" in some of the resurrection appearances of Jesus as recorded in the gospels. last sunday we were flies on the wall as Jesus met with the disciples without & with Thomas. is it possible to live as resurrection-shaped people? can we "soak" it in?

painting:"Emaús" (Lucas 24, 30), Fray Gabriel

no gathering this sunday

paintings by Greig Leach




a quote from a favourite writer of mine, Lesslie Newbigin, that seemed especially fitting this Good Friday.
"He (Jesus) does not leave behind an ideal or a program. He leaves behind a community--the Church. This community exists not because of decisions its members have made. It is not constituted by the faith, insight, or moral excellence of its members. It exists because God has called its members out of the world by his own action and given them to Jesus." (The Light Has come;Grand Rapids 1987 p.228)

a very small part of that community got together last night in the Undercroft for "a meal with friends". To eat and talk together, but also to read Matthew's account of the Last Supper, betrayal, arrest of Jesus, the dispersal of the disciples, and finally to share the Lord's Supper together on the night that commemorates Jesus' last supper. It was a poignant evening.

Today, Good Friday, gives us the chance to walk once again through the harrowing events of that day, before we wait, through the hours of gloomy saturday to the surprise and shock of the empty tomb on Easter morning. quite a journey!

we won't be gathering at the Undercroft this sunday for a number of reasons, Promenades Cathedrale is closed for Easter, many emergers are out of town with family. so celebrate Jesus being raised from the dead with friends, family, a local church, whatever. but make sure you reflect on the outrageous turnaround that God engineers, that absolutely no one expected. it's the same God who calls us into relationship with him through his son Jesus. It's the same God who has made us a part of his community!

Have a good Friday and a joyous Easter Sunday when it arrives!

thursday april 9th (aka Maundy Thursday)
"a meal with friends" is what Jesus had the night before he was executed. so let's gather at the Undercroft at 6.00pm for a pot luck supper with friends, before many of us head off to celebrate Jesus' resuurection with family on Easter Sunday. it will give us time time to walk through the events of that fateful day, and to celebrate appropriately the cost of Jesus' victory over sin & death.
