From Sunday:

As Christians we are taught to always give thanks and we have a special day to remind us that we will celebrate in a week and half, Thanksgiving. The Thanksgiving Chair, our message today is about some of the times in life when our first thought is not about giving thanks. As we begin, think about this question: How often on a regular ordinary day do you give thanks to God?

En Agape',

Rev. Michael

The Board will be meeting on Sunday the 19th to finalize the 2018 Ministry Plan. If you have not had a chance to return your covenant card please do. With God's help we can do wonders in the coming year. Let's live by his example and share the Good News with those we encounter in our journey of faith.
