Pastoral Epistle – July 25, 2024
Beloved Congregation,
Greetings in Jesus!
Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?
John 11:40
This passage is when Jesus and many others from the town of Bethany had gathered at the tomb of Lazarus. Jesus commanded to open the sepulchre. Martha objected to it and said it’s four days since he died; there will be a stench. This is when Jesus made this profound statement to Martha. Jesus reminded her that if she believes she will see the glory of God.
Praise God for our exciting Family Retreat: Everyone who attended had a wonderful day. We had a blessed worship time and pastor Nathan Kwan from Markham Chinese Alliance Church brought us God’s Word. A big thanks to our wardens for organizing everything very well. It was a great day of fellowship and fun! Special thanks to Tina for taking all the efforts and arranging the games! We are also thankful to Rev. Alison of the Church of St. Andrew for hosting us.
Church in the Park: Please mark Sunday, August 18th for Church in the Park. We will meet at our usual service time, 10.30 AM at Regents Park. (115 Westbourne Ave) which is a few blocks north of our church. We will have an exciting potluck fellowship following the service.
Pray for those who need healing: We remember every parishioner who needs God’s healing touch. May our Lord be gracious and grant them healing.
Pray for those on vacation: We remember our parishioners who are on vacation. May our Lord protect them and bring them back safe.
