We welcome home our staff members: Michele and Juanita,who have returned from vacation, and Pastors Robert and Gordon who have returned from the Vancouver Olympics. They will be happy to share their first hand stories.

If you are a follower of Jesus, but have never been baptized, you have an important step to take in order to become his true disciple. Please read Matthew 28:19 and sign up at the Info Desk for the baptism class this Thursday night @ 7pm. See you there!

For some of us, today is Day 21 on the Love Dare Journey, with the theme: “Love is satisfied in God.”  There is no human on earth who can completely satisfy another. It’s a celebration when one discovers that God is the ultimate source of fulfillment. Have you joined the journey? If not, consider doing so today. We have a new shipment of the Love Dare books on hand. Your copy is waiting for you!
(Love Dare Books: $10/each at the Info Desk)

Today’s subject is “Healing.” This is controversial since there are so many questions: “If God is good, why do good people get sick? Does God really heal people today? Is it right to ask God to heal me, when I know there are so many others who are worse than I am? Is there anyone in our town whom God has healed?” I trust that you will be helped by answers from the Bible today, and from testimonies in our time.  Most importantly, if you need healing, do come to the service tonight as we trust God for “A Night of Healing.”

You are loved,

~Pastor Glen

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.

A great dare for all of us is to pick out one or more positive attributes of a loved one: parent, child, sibling, or friend. At an appropriate time, tell your loved one how you appreciate that positive characteristic about them. Enjoy the response!

I encourage everyone to attend one of the budget presentation meetings (today or next Sunday) as well as our Annual General Meeting on Feb 28th. These important meetings will apprise you of our vision for this year; and how the budget is allocated towards the vision. This is the Lord’s church, and you are part of His work. You are welcome and needed!
