30th May 2022

Good morning,

I was preaching on Sunday about how Jesus continues to pour blessings upon us. Jesus was blessing the disciples as He ascended into heaven to be with God.

Jesus did not stop blessing - the blessing continued upon the disciples.  

I believe that that blessing is still flowing down upon disciples today.

If we’re passionate and committed to Christ, have an extraordinary love for God’s people, have a servant's heart, read the word of God, and we’re part of a God filled church, then we too, are disciples. 

If we consider ourselves to be disciples, then we are receiving the blessing that still flows through Jesus, upon us. We are touched by the Holy Spirit, and we allow that to fill our lives and change us. 

Often it’s hard to articulate the action of the Holy Spirit, but the song after my sermon conveyed the words that described the Holy Spirit so beautifully:

“The atmosphere is changing now, for the Spirit of the Lord is here; the evidence is all around, that the Spirit of the Lord is here.”

[Chris Brown/Mack Brock/Matthew Ntlele/Steven Furtick/Wade Joey]

This speaks to me about how our life can change by our belief in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. 

A miracle can happen now: “For the Spirit of the Lord is here, the evidence is all around, that the Spirit of the Lord is here.”

I hope you will enjoy this song as much as I did on Sunday.  

May the blessing of God be upon you all this Memorial Day and through this week, Amen

In Christ

Rev. Janice

Building Next to Church

As we arrived at church this week, we discovered that the owner of the small piece of land, to the side of our church (on the right as you look from the road), has marked it out & has a permit to build a house.

We anticipate that building will start very soon and, as you can see from the photograph above, where we have shaded it out, it is a fair sized area. 

We will still have access to the side & the back of our building, but we wanted everyone to be aware, that we cannot use that spare land any longer, either to park, or drive over to access our property.

We will keep you all appraised, over the coming weeks, if it looks like it will impact us further. If you have any questions, please let Rev. Janice know.

We are now worshipping

in-person & online; we do still ask that you wear a mask, when inside the church building.

We hope you will join us.

May Finances

Needed: $5,000

Income: $2,868

May Deficit: -$2,132

Unfortunately, we have another significant shortfall in income this month.

Our budget was set, at our congregational meeting last November and was the leanest it could be.

It does cost us $1,000 a week to keep our building running and all of our bills paid.

We know that everything has increased in cost lately, but we  do ask that our members support our church, to the best of their ability. 

THANK YOU for supporting your church with your finances.
