PREPARING FOR EASTER:

WEDNESDAY BIBLE STUDY – “IN THE WILDERNESS”

Until Easter we will be studying – and learning to sing! – Psalm 106, recalling Israel’s forty year wandering. 6:30pm.

ADULT FAITH FORMATION

From March 23-April 13, we will be reading the book of Deuteronomy together to supplement the Luke/Deuteronomy sermon mini-series, Covenant of Love! (The Faith Made Simple class will also participate in this activity.) Many people find this part of the Bible hard to penetrate – but Scripture was always meant to be studied in community! The first half of our time will be spent reading in small groups, and then we will come together for questions and discussion with Pastor Yuri! (NB: Faith Made Simple will resume after Easter.)

EASTER CHOIR!

Please contact Arlene Rempel about joining the special choir she is putting together for our Easter service! Rehearsals will be taking place on Saturdays from 11:00am-12:00pm, starting March 29.
