The raising of
Lazarus is the last of the “signs” that Jesus performed in his ministry. This event points to an even greater one – the
Resurrection of Jesus. As all the other
signs in the Gospel of John do, Lazarus’ raising indicates the more powerful
reality of Jesus as the Son of God whose power knows no earthly bounds and
whose word is life for us.
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, 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.
Lenten Bible Study Series will be held on the Wednesdays during Lent @ 12:00 noon. The last session on April 5 will be at St.
John’s. The study series is based
on the Scriptural basis for the Apostles' Creed. Participants are invited to bring
a lunch.
