Rev. Adam Spore, 8:30 am Traditional Worship

& 11:15 am Modern Worship

Rev. Val Stewart, 11:00 am Traditional Worship

 

He had washed their feet. He had broken the bread. And now, in the quiet of that upper room, he was trying to prepare them for something they couldn't yet imagine — a world in which he would no longer be physically present, and they would have to find a way to carry on. His answer to their unspoken fear was a promise: that they would not be left alone. That something — someone — would come to dwell not just among them, but within them. This week, we sit with that promise and the mystery it carries - The Holy Spirit. Have you felt it? And do you know what to call it when you do? Join us Sunday as we ask these questions together.

    Have you ever felt the sting of unfairness in love or conflict, leaving you yearning for justice?
    In our modern world, the concept of "an eye for an eye" often seems justified. Yet, Jesus challenges us with a radical teaching in Matthew 5:38-42, urging us to turn the other cheek and go the extra mile. This Sunday, we will delve into what true strength and love look like through Jesus' eyes. Discover how embracing love over fairness can transform our lives and relationships.
