Seeing Generously


If we are going to be generous, live generously, we first need to learn to see suffering, injustice, poverty, need. The story of Lazarus and the rich man provides us with a springboard to consider how we are to live in a world filled with injustice and how we should respond, in the way we live to the needs around us. Join us this Sunday as we strive to see what our Father in heaven sees and to bring God's mercy to a suffering world.

Change

Change is an inevitable part of life. This is true in the life of the church as well. While we hold fast to the comfort we have in Jesus Christ, really the only stable part of our lives, the world keeps moving around us. In June our church experienced a big change as Pastor Rita moved on to her new call in Ancaster. Over the summer, our services have been led by a number of different people and, in many ways we, were blessed.

I led some of those services and last week the congregation extended a call to me to work as a bivocational interim. It is both gratifying and humbling to be called to this task. I'm looking forward to it and anticipate God's blessings as we continue to grow into what God intends us to be in this place.
