So our sermon time began with me asking the congregation what they thought of Genesis 21:1-3 and 22:1-14.

When the scriptures are as challenging as this one, I like to get a sense of what people are hearing in the story. Sometimes- if a story is really difficult, people can’t hear past their own personal perspectives if they can’t name what they’re thinking publicly.

The people weren’t shy about sharing their thoughts…..

You are invited to an Alzheimer Coffee Break on Sunday, September 15 following the regular church service. An opportunity will be provided to make a donation to the Alzheimer Society of Simcoe County. Please help out by using the sign up sheet in the fellowship hall to provide fruit bread (zucchini, date, lemon etc.) to enjoy with your tea or coffee.

The History channel will be airing a brand new 10 part series about The Bible. Premiering Sunday, March 3rd at 8 e/p

“The Bible”  brings fresh life to the world’s best known book. Instead of presenting the Bible’s epic tales through the lens of faith or religion, this event series immerses the viewer in the stories in a whole new way. The stories are told in the first person, from the point of view of the heroes and villains whose decisions shaped both Old and New Testaments.
