Sermon:

I Kings 18:20-39

I guess we all at some time or another wish that those who scoff at the Christian faith might experience something of God’s judgment, as here on Mount Carmel, which compels them to get down on their knees and say “The Lord, He is God!”  While God does not grant us such favours, He has nevertheless already spoken a final and decisive word of judgment, which reminds us of the reality of our faith, which unfolds itself in a concrete way during our lives as well.  Come and hear more this Sunday.

Word of Thanks

Pastor David and Barbara would like to thank the parish for the wonderful farewells, from the congregations, parish, guild and men’s fellowship, bestowed recently upon Pastor David and Barbara. The generosity of the gifts, both financial and in kind, was overwhelming. We deeply appreciate these expressions of love.  We will keep people informed of what has been purchased with the money.  Thank you, also, to those who attended last Sunday’s farewell service and lunch.
