Sunday, May 13, 2018

Sunday School (10:00-11:15 am) We desire to partner with you as you seek to raise your children in a community of faith and family. Our volunteers have completed the “Reducing the Risk” material and a Criminal Record Check. Here’s what’s available: Nursery (0-2 years old) ....................... Nursery Toddlers (2-4 years old) ...................... Rm 11 Jr/Sr Kindergarten (4-5 years old) ........ Rm 14 Grades 1-2 ......................................... Rm 15 Grades 3-4 ......................................... Rm 13 Grades 5-6 ......................................... Rm 12

Do you regularly have your creativity crippled, determination derailed, or satisfaction stolen? If so, you’ve been targeted by silencers. Silencers rob us from living out the promised “abundant life” (John 10:10). This series will identify these common thieves and present a Bible-based plan of self-defense. As you hear God’s voice, it is hoped you’ll find yours too.

Remember in Prayer

• Pray for Justus Miwanda as he manages a children’s school, dorm and medical centre in Uganda. • Pray that we would be a Christ-centred, intergenerational, loving community characterized by such qualities as forgiveness, integrity and respect. • Pray for the health concerns of Nell DeKryger (in palliative care). • Pray for John & Daisy Cross as they worship from home. • Pray for the Steering Team as members work through the next steps in our building program now that we have a building permit. May God grant discernment as they select a contractor and work with the fire deptartment on the expanded cistern. Keith & Karen Paul are pleased to announce the safe arrival of their grandson, Cole Michael Lungaro, born on May 10, 2018 weighing 7lbs 6oz. First child for (daughter) Vanessa & Mike.
