The Jesus Experiment

We are going to spend this summer working on an experiment – the Jesus Experiment. (The Jesus Experiment is a book written by Bill Perkins; we will be using his book in this sermon series) We begin with a hypothesis: JESUS CHRIST GIVES A RICH AND SATISFYING LIFE TO THOSE WHO FOLLOW HIM (John 10:10). Do we believe this to be true? Do we dare to test God in his promises? This summer, don’t just read about Jesus, experience him. Join us on Canada Day, July 1, 10 a.m.

Strawberry Summerfest in Lucknow

This Sunday, June 24, we worship on the lawn of the Lucknow Presbyterian Church as part of Lucknow's Strawberry Summerfest celebration. Bring a lawn chair and join us - 10:30 a.m. on Havelock Street.

Coffee Break women

This is most of us... We will meet at various homes during the month of July (except July 11 when Vacation Bible School happens). Regular meetings at the church resume in August, 9:30 a.m. on Wednesdays. All women are always welcome!

Near miss

They call it a "near miss", but what it really is, is a "near hit." A close brush with death is a frightening and sobering thing. Christians sometimes forget how close we came to dying - we would face death if Jesus hadn't stood in our place. For those who don't yet know Jesus, death is a very real possibility, for there is only one name by which we can be saved (answer: Jesus' name). The will to live is the strongest impulse known to humankind. When the gravity of the situation hits us,we will turn to God with the most important request we can ever make: "grant me my life." We find that request in Esther 7:3. May it be your request too. Sunday, June 17, 10:30 a.m.

Surprise endings

Were you surprised at the ending of the Hunger Games? In a great twist, it was death that brought life. Haman, the evil conspirator in the Book of Esther, meets a surprising end: the man he wanted dead becomes the man of honour. In the biggest twist of all, Jesus' death brings us life. Because of him, no matter what we are dealing with right now, we can expect a happy ending (which will be just another new beginning of life eternal!!). Sunday, June 10, 10 a.m.

Good Food Box Friday

Today is Good Food Box Day. Once a month, volunteers put together food hampers of fresh produce which you can buy for $15. It's a great deal. If you are interested in purchasing one of these boxes, contact Catherine at 528-5132. We take a break for the summer but would love to hear from you in September.

The Hunger Games

In a scene early in the movie, The Hunger Games, Katniss volunteers as tribute in place of her little sister. It's an act of bravery and love. Katniss is taking on a risk that may end in death. Esther was another young woman who stepped forward at the risk of death. Her story though, isn't fiction. Esther's words, "If I perish, I perish," remind us of another who volunteered as tribute: Jesus approaches the King and stands there in our place. God gave his Son so that we might not perish. Join us for this mini series from the Book of Esther. June 3, 10 a.m.
