What's New
E - Bulletin for September 2, 2021
Hi Everyone,
This Sunday we're going to hear about two people who have unpleasant experiences that become very holy experiences. Has this ever happened to you? Something unpleasant is actually the beginning of something entirely different? It reminds me that God dwells in the most unpleasant of places, ready to guide us to growth and new understanding and new experiences... and that is a pleasing thought.
On this threshold of a long weekend, I know and trust that you will treat yourselves to something most pleasant!
God bless you,
Doug
Please note that the service in Kintore will be at 11:00 am.
