Pastoral Epistle-February 22, 2023

Beloved Congregation,Greetings in Jesus!

“May I never boast of anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.”‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬ ‭

We are begging a season of penitence and self denial that we may draw closer to God.  Our only boasting is the cross of Calvary where our Saviour Jesus Christ was crucified for the sins of the world.
Ash Wednesday Service:  today we have our service in person at 7.30 pm.  I encourage you to attend and be blessed. You tube link if you are unable to attend in-personhttps://youtube.com/live/QUTS80P1N64?feature=share

Lenten Services:  Every Wednesday in March we will have services on Zoom at 7.30 pm.  Kindly attend and be blessed.
