Sunday, March 8th, 2020 All throughout the Bible, the writers of Scripture remind us that God is love. From the creation of the world to God’s relentless pursuit
of us God has shown time and again that love is most important. The Gospels are full of moments where Jesus prioritized love above all else, especially when He summed up the greatest commandment with: Love God and Love your neighbour as yourself. The children continue to contribute to the school breakfast program with their weekly offering. We encourage children to bring an offering to donate to this worthwhile project.
To the volunteers who helped with the children's service and care during the World Day of Prayer Service.
