I’m happy to announce that we’re having Church@Church this Sunday. This week we’re celebrating All Saints’ Day. Think back of all the great people of God you’ve met, all the great people of God who have ever lived, and all the great people of God who are yet to be born. We thank God for all those who have loved and served Him faithfully. We also take time on Sunday to remember those who have died for the cause of freedom, making sure that the freedoms we enjoy were not lost. My sermon this Sunday is based on John chapter 6, when Jesus feeds a whole lot of people. Come and find out how to face the impossible!
So come, join us as we worship the triune God together. Here’s the announcement:
Church @ Church this Sunday—the 6th November at 10:00am
