What would you say if I told you that Judas was a “model” disciple of Jesus. Well in a “negative” way he was. You’ll have to come to church on Sunday if you want to hear me unpack this statement. There are lots of people who “follow” Jesus; not all of them are legitimate followers. Are you? Well that depends on your willingness to surrender to Him. It’s a journey we all have to consider. Come and discover some of the challenges people face when trying to follow Jesus. We’re also dedicating little Emrie to God this Sunday. What a joy that will be. So come, join us as we worship the triune God together. Here’s the announcement: Church @ Church this Sunday—the 12th February at 10:00am In case you missed it, you can find the service from last week by clicking HERE. Important Dates: • Ladies’ Refresh every Tuesday at 10:30am at the church.

Ed Hird will cover while I’m away. 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
