VISION.
Jesus' prayer in John chapter 17 is that his followers would be one just as He and the Father are one. Our response to this prayer today is to come together in humility to seek this unity that Christ offers through the Holy Spirit. As the body of Christ, we want to acknowledge our differences but focus our attention on Jesus who alone is able to reconcile all things. We want to praise God together, encourage each other and confess our faith in Christ as our savior.
Pentecost is the descent of the Holy Spirit and the beginning of the Church, the new covenant community sustained by God's Spirit throughout time. Pentecost is a time to come together and seek the unity that Christ offers. It is our hope and prayer, our vision, that you would join us.
MISSION STATEMENT.
- Worship God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit as One Church Body with many members
- Repent from the reality of our sins (past, present, and future) that cause division
- Encourage and inspire each other to be "salt and light" in the world
- Bear witness to the Good News bringing healing to all creation

We hope that this experience will prompt you to connect with a local church so that you can make an informed decision about beginning a new walk of faith with God.
If you would like to connect with a local pastor or priest during the event, they will wear either a collar or/and have credentials on them. If you want to pray/talk with someone other than a priest/pastor during the event there are accredited people wearing red vests and credentials that you are welcome to reach out to.

At this pre-meeting we will pray for the event as well as answering questions and going through the service more in detail. If you have questions prior to this please reach out or see the FAQ on this site.
Church leaders who want to inspire and rejuvenate your congregations and staff by celebrating our diverse yet unified faith through this large, powerful experience are called to get involved.
EVENT.
3.00pm
Praise & Worship
Hymns and songs that are well established and accepted by all denominations. Ex. How Great Thou Art. The worship will be lead by an ecumenical choir and musicians from different churches in Saskatoon.
---
The Life of Jesus
During the service there won't be a traditional sermon or a homily. We have chosen not to invite a famous speaker. Instead, 5 events from the life of Jesus will be read from the gospels all while the different generations engage in Jesus life-giving story.
---
At the Cross
Different churches that are represented will place a wooden cube around the cross. The significance of this is that we all bring our piece, different as it is, broken as it may be, and ask for Jesus to fit us into his body in a true way.
---
Offering
Be free to give as you feel called. There is no charge to attend the event.
TEAM.
Our team is made up of pastors and church leaders from many denominations, each with a desire to see unity within the local body of Christ.
