I’m happy to announce that we’re had Church@Church this Sunday. This week we were back to the Gospel of John. Have you ever wondered why many people do not accept Jesus? There are lots of “excuses” but Jesus gives us the answer to that question this week. If we look carefully, we will see that there are many sources for the authenticity of Jesus. It’s not difficult to discover Him—if you want to find Him. Come and find out why so many people don’t find Him. So come, join us as we worship the triune God together. In case you missed it, you can find the service from last week by clicking HERE. Important Dates: This week we continue Operation Christmas Child. Come and pick up your shoe boxes and we’ll send them all over the world. (Return them by Sunday the 13th November.) During the month of October, we’re emphasizing “connecting and belonging.” Come and join us for “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner.” Sign up this Sunday to be either a “Guest” or a “Host.” Next Sunday we have a special guest preacher, The Rev. Dr. Ed Hird. His sermon title is: “Why Does Evil Smile So Much At Halloween?” If you have any further questions, or need help in any way, 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
