I’m happy to announce that we’re had Church@Church this Sunday May 10th at 10am. This week we continue in the Gospel of John. We’ll see how the grace and truth that Jesus brought to the world help us make sense of the world in which we live.
In case you missed it, you can find the service from last week—Ascension Sunday—by clicking HERE. Here are a couple of other really important announcements:
Sunday the 12th June is Vision Sunday. Two things are planned for that day: a. We’re going to have a Community Pot-Luck Lunch after the service. Bring some food—everyone is welcome. (Please note that until our renovations are complete, we do not have facilities for either heating or cooling food.) b. At 2:00pm we’re hosting an All Saints Family Gathering to discuss the future of our building. We’d love your ideas and input. Everyone is welcome. Please join us at 2:00pm, even if you don’t attend the Pot-Luck lunch.
We’re collecting information about our YouTube online services. If you watch them and have any comments, we’d love to hear from you. Please email us with your comments and ideas. Thank you.
As the summer approaches, we’re going to need help around the church: mowing lawns, gardening, helping with Sunday services, slide projection operators, etc. If you would like to serve in any way, please let me know. If you have any further questions about these events, or anything else for that matter, don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you Church. Stay vigilant and prayerful. Love each other deeply and keep Jesus at the very centre of everything you do. Blessings on all you do. The peace of our Lord, Peter Klenner Bishop and Pastor All Saints Community Church Crescent Beach 604.209.5570
