Larry is enjoying the last few days of his vacation; he will be back to work at his normal hour on Tuesday, July 18. Laura Niven will lead our worship service this Sunday. Laura’s sermon is entitled “Questions”.
The scriptures this week are Romans 8:1-11 and Psalm 119:105-112.
KIDS IN CHURCH (yes please)
Although the Sunday School Program is over until the fall, kids are still part of the church. Now some kids (and some adults) find sitting for a hour a challenge. I hope that the Sunday Services during the summer will be varied enough to keep everyone interested. However, we will also have available Activity Packs at the welcome table. These maroon cases contain paper, pencils, stickers, puzzles and colouring pages which can be explored either in the sanctuary or the lounge.
(Remember Matthew 19:14, Mark 10: 14 and Luke 18:16)
KEEP THE DATES – THURSDAY, AUGUST 17 AND FRIDAY, AUGUST 18

PRAYER CIRCLE (will start meeting again in September)
There is now a Spirit West Prayer Circle. We gather at the church on Thursday mornings at 10:30. We share a reading, share our stories or concerns, and pray. There is no “sign-up” for this, just come as you feel the need. If you are interested, join us on Thursdays.
