Optical illusions

What do you see when you look at this image? Some see an old witch; others see a lovely young woman. During the Lent season we turn our eyes to the cross. But what do we see when we look at the cross? There is much more there than immediately meets the eye. This Sunday we see the staff within the cross and we are reminded that even in our darkest moments, God is with us. Psalm 23. March 3, 10 am.

The baptism of Evan Drost

Yesterday we baptized Evan Jeffrey Drost. His sisters, Addison, Gabrielle and Josephine, along with Mom and Dad and a church full of family and friends, witnessed the sacrament. Congrats to Jeff & Stephanie! May God bless your beautiful family in many ways!

24/7 Christians

Jesus' sermon on the mount has taken us through the entire week. In his final command, he tells us that it's not enough to love our neighbours - we must love our enemies too. In other words, we must love everyone, all the time. Sounds almost impossible. But through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, we can be 24/7 Christians. Join us Feb 24 - we also celebrate the sacrament of baptism, the best picture of how we become 24/7 Christians only through the blood of Jesus.

Serenaded

Church goers are used to singing our praises to God. But did you know that God also sings over us? God is the lover who serenades us (Zephaniah 3:17)! This Sunday, Feb 17, our own Place Street Boys lead our worship. Hope you can join us!

TGIF

We have come to Jesus' Friday command - almost made it through the week. Most of us look forward to Fridays, but this command doesn't sound like much fun. To “turn the other cheek” sounds a lot like passive humility; it sounds as though Jesus expects us to take it on the chin instead of fighting back. This Sunday we take a closer look at Jesus’ command and discover that there is another way to deal with the abuse to which Christians may be subjected. It’s a better way, a way that affirms our integrity and our worth as God’s image bearers. It's a message of hope that will leave you saying, "thank God it's Friday!" Sunday, Feb 10, 10 am.
