Church camping, Labour Day Weekend

The Lucknow Church family is camping at Point Farms this weekend. Our Sunday morning worship service will happen in the park, near the barn (ask at front desk), at 10 a.m. Bring a lawn chair and your coffee cup. Guests are very welcome. See you there!

Sun rise

This summer we have worked through an experiment – the Jesus Experiment. We set out to prove or disprove the hypothesis that Jesus Christ gives a rich and satisfying life to those who follow him. Well, the summer is over (almost). Our summer ended with a wedding, a baptism and a funeral. These events reminded us that the rich and satisfying life is lived in anticipation of future glory – the Day of the Lord when “the sun of righteousness will rise with healing it its wings.” Join us this Sunday, Aug 26, 10 a.m.

A funeral: Syke Sutherland

A wedding, then a baptism, and yesterday, a funeral. All of life has been compressed into three days for our church community. Yesterday we said "farewell" to God's child, Syke Sutherland. May God comfort her husband Jim and their daughters, grandchildren, and all the other family members and friends who mourn her death. "Listen, I tell you a mystery: we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed" (I Cor 15:51). Syke now lives in glory- she has been changed.

A baptism: Hailey & Grace VanHardeveld

A wedding, and then a baptism. On Sunday, Aug 19, we witnessed the baptism of Eric & Mandy's twin girls, Hailey Jeanette and Grace Lorraine. God's promises are extended to these little ones. Congratulations to Eric, Mandy, and to Sam too!

A wedding: Kelsey & Mark

Congratulations to Kelsey Burgsma and Mark Duckworth who were married here on Saturday, August 18. God blessed them on their beautiful wedding day; may he bless them in even more beautiful ways in their marriage.

Action!

“We.” “Must.” The “we” involves all of us, and the “must” says we don’t have an option. Jesus said, “We must do the work of him who sent [Jesus]” (John 9:4); we must take action. No time like the present, no day like today to discover the rich and satisfying life that is ours when we follow Jesus. This Sunday we worship in the context of a wedding (Kelsey Burgsma & Mark Duckworth), a baptism (Hailey & Grace Van Hardeveld), and a funeral (Syke Sutherland). May God bless us with his presence.

Olympic Dreams

Watching the Olympics has become a lot more than the thrill of competition; interviews and documentaries now invite us into the lives of the athletes. Almost every athlete speaks of the importance of remaining focused no matter what else may be happening around them. The same is true for the person who wants to follow Jesus – we have to remain focused on our mission and purpose. Only then will we experience the rich and satisfying life that is promised to those who follow Jesus. Sunday, August 5, 10 a.m.
