Being
born again can be as confusing today as it was to Nicodemus when he came to
speak with Jesus during the night. Whether
the “born again” experience is something you feel or something grasped by faith
is a real question. To know you are born
again in your baptism might well be enough for a person of faith. In our baptisms, we are all born again “of water and the Spirit.”
We are without a musician today. Please note the changes and replacements in
the Order of Worship and the a capella
singing of the hymns. The usual parts of
the service will be spoken.
Welcome!
Everyone is
invited to stay for fellowship after the service.
We pray today for all
the sick and shut-ins in our congregation, especially Diane Corns, Colin & Elfriede
Hayes, Else Kalmbach and her son, Nancy Mayberry, Hilda Moritz, George &
Astrid Simonis, Katie Ungar and John Weninger.
May God grant all of them His healing grace in Jesus Christ. Amen.
Offering
Envelopes - Everyone has unnumbered envelopes, so please remember to put your name, date
and donation amount on the front of each envelope so you get credit for your donations. If you need more envelopes, there are some in
the Fellowship Hall.
PAR
– Pre-Authorized Remittance – Your
church needs you! Signing up for PAR
allows you to make donations on a monthly basis even if you’re not in
church. Application forms are available
on the table in the Fellowship Hall. All
you have to do is complete the form, attach a VOID cheque and put it in the
offering plate or in the church office.
Communion
Cards are required to be completed once per year per person. If you
have not completed one yet this year, please ask the usher for one.
The
Corner Cupboard is always in need. Please help by bringing in non-perishable
goods and placing them in the box outside the Sacristy. Monetary donations are also accepted.
