“If your right eye causes you to sin…  If your right hand causes you to sin…”  These are among the “hard sayings” of the Gospels, ones that are hard to hear because they are hard to do.  Are they an exercise in exaggeration?  A preacher’s device used in public speaking?  Are we to do just that?  Better to ask if our eyes or hands cause us to sin or do they do the bidding of our will and our spirit.
  
Welcome!

Everyone is invited to stay for fellowship after the service.

We pray today for all the sick in our congregation, especially Colin & Elfriede Hayes, Else Kalmbach and her son, Nancy Mayberry, Hilda Moritz, George & Astrid Simonis 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.
