Message.. Meeting the Lamb Hymn of Response #3 “Crown Him with Many Crowns” (1 & 3) Benediction 12:45 pm 5:00 pm Karen Worship Service South Slavic Evening Service Something to think about…. “… we need… a radical encounter with God’s kingdom breaking into our lives. We need to experience relationships being rearranged, brokenness being healed, and evil structures being brought down in and around us. We need to see that Jesus conquers the addictions of sin (be them chemical or relational) and that God is at work in the darkest places because God has already been to those places (on the cross).” - David E. Fitch, Geoff Holsclaw, Prodigal Christianity This Week at Grace . . . Ministry Opportunity – As a new outreach, Ambassador Baptist Church has just begun providing a community meal for the neighbourhood on Wednesday nights. The food is prepared and provided, but 6-8 servers are needed each week, arriving at 4:45 pm, done by 7:00 pm to take care of table and beverage set-up, serving food and clean-up as well as greeting at the tables. We have said a team from Grace could help with this once every 8 weeks. If this sounds like a way you could serve the Lord, please sign the sheet in the foyer. We will contact you when our turn comes up. The first time it is our turn is Wednesday, February 11, 2015. New Sex Education Curriculum – The Ontario Government is resurrecting the controversial Sex Ed curriculum that was ‘shelved’ in 2010 over parental concerns that it was ageinappropriate, overly explicit, and undermined the religious beliefs of many families.
