This Sunday we continue in our series of sermons based on “A Rule Of Life” as we journey through the season of Lent. The monastics often called this time the “season of the desert.”  It gave followers of Jesus an opportunity for self reflection, prayer and alms-giving. This Sunday the Rev. Dr. Ed Hird will preach again. This time from Rule 4: Your Spoken Witness, with a sermon entitled, “Self-Awareness In Evangelism.”  His text is Psalm 139:13–24.

So come, join us as we worship the triune God together. Here’s the announcement:

It’s not too late to help out! You can still donate until March 31st.
Thanks to all who financially sponsored me as I walked on the Feb 28th Coldest Night of the Year to raise funds for the Sources Food Bank. The need is greater than ever.
I am pleased that fifty-one people donated $2,930 so far to my CNOY walking. I recently received an 2025 award for being the #10 fundraiser.
At this point, our Kerry-Lynne Findlay ‘Peninsula People’ team is #12 so far. Your generosity will get us back into the top-ten of the CNOY fundraising teams.

We (my wife Janice and I, my son Mark, and grandson writer Aaron (age 12) had a delightful time at Fleetwood Library in Surrey where the Public Library invited us for the first time ever to be presenters at a ‘Authors Among You’ event. Our son Mark did a dramatic book reading from our Blue Sky novel.
The event was almost cancelled because only two had preregistered, so we asked our friends to register, saving the event. Around 15 to 20 attending, many as dropins. A few were Christians. Many were wannabe authors, looking for advice on how to get published. We got to be salt and light in a complicated context. We were allowed to sell our seven different books at a book table.

All in all, a good day. Have any other social media colleagues ever been invited to present at similar public library events? How did it go? Ed+
