Bulletin – Feb 21st
Please celebrate the honour accorded to Pastor Robert who is away this week to serve as a chaplain to the Olympics with the Billy Graham organization. We invite you to support him with your prayers and expectations for what God will do.
For many of you this is Day 14 in your Love Dare challenge! Others are on other days: that’s okay; just keep going. Delight is the word for this day. Take some time today to share an enjoyable experience with your spouse.
Plan and prepare your heart for next Sunday night: a Night of Worship, Prayer, Healing, and Spirit-filled living. There are many among us who need God’s touch in our lives today. Prepare for this night in personal prayer and by reading Isaiah 55 & 58, Mark 1 & 2; and James 5:13-20.
We value your input. Should you wish to share a compliment and/or an area of concern, you are encouraged to complete a confidential Church Health Form & submit in an envelope through the door slot at the office. Feel free to speak to any member of the Leadership Team as listed in our bulletin/website. Contact information for these pastors and elders is printed in the new MGA 2010 Family Directory.
