The Art of Neighbouring: Forgiveness - Dr. Tim Archibald

October 17, 2021 – 10:00 am Sunday Worship Service

. In a perfect world, everybody gets along. But we live in a world where things go wrong and people disagree. What do you do when you have a neighbour you can’t seem to get along with? Join us this Sunday as we consider Jesus’ uncomfortable call to forgiveness.
To prepare for Sunday’s worship, you can read
Luke 6: 37-42;  Colossians 3: 12-17

During Sunday Worship, here are activity sheets for all ages & stages:
3+   7+   Youth    Adult

Please join us for in-person worship at 10:00 Sunday morning (no need to register); or use the link below which will be updated Sunday morning by 9:30 am to take you to our live streamed service.

A Message of Thanks to the Ladies Guild

Continuing in the spirit of Thanksgiving we would like to thank the members of the Ladies Guild for the very lovely hand-made cards, three of which we have received through the mail this year. We probably speak for others who have felt blessed in being remembered this way, all ‘Stamped with Care’ by Kathy. John and Joan Davies
