Worship
This Sunday we will be looking at three passages from Scripture. The first, from Job, is part of God’s answer to Job’s complaints, the second from Hebrews focuses on Jesus as High Priest, and the third, from Mark shows us a couple of disciples arguing about who will sit next to Jesus in heaven. All three passages are unique, but each one offers us a challenge. How do we really view ourselves, our neighbours and our relationship with God? Believe it or not, the answers to these questions are not simple or simplistic.
From the Scriptures we will hear from the Prophets: Job 38: 1-7, from the Letters: Hebrews 5: 1-10 and from the Gospels: Mark 10: 35-45
The story for all ages is “Screaming Me-mes!”
The sermon title is “It’s not all about you!”
The Service will be followed by a Congregational Meeting where we will be electing and confirming our Church Board for 2013. It is important that you give your time to be part of the decisions affecting your church.
