Salt and light… two things that make life possible.  Salt cleanses, preserves, and enhances.  It is also quite helpful for traction in winter!  Light allow us to see our way, our work, and our world. Lack of light can also be quite depressing and demoralizing.  This what we are to be for the world – healers, preservers, flavour enhancers, light for other and light for the world…  Jesus shining through us.

We welcome Paul Bodkin again as our minister of music today. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, Paul!
  
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.
