The Gospel story of the woman at the well is a story loaded with images, theological thoughts, and Gospel meaning.  All the talk actually points in one direction; it all points to Jesus.  The Gospels all point to Jesus as the savior of the world and the revelation of God.

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.
