Father’s Day

This coming Sunday, we joyfully celebrate Father’s Day, a special time to honour and appreciate the fathers and father figures in our lives. As we gather for worship, we reflect on the vital role they play in our families and commun-ities, providing guidance, support, and love.

In Proverbs 20:7, we read, “The righteous man walks in his integrity; his children are blessed after him.” This verse reminds us of the enduring impact of a father’s faithfulness and integrity. Let us take this opportunity to give thanks for the fathers among us, lifting them up in prayer and offering our heartfelt gratitude.

We invite all fathers to join us for the Father’s Day worship service. The church has something special for you—Titus Bakery Gift Certificate for a doughnut and a small cup of coffee.

Last Voting Chance for Photo Contest

Coming Sunday is the last chance to vote for the Photo Contest. The winner will be announced during the Worship in the Park on the following Sunday. On the sanctuary door, you can see two laminated photos, taken by Al McConnaha. These photos are not for the contest but in memory of Al McConnaha, who was the church photographer.

Saturday Bible Study

We are studying the Hebrews which has deep theology, mainly Christology. Come to learn and discuss about the deep theology and the mystery in the book of Hebrews.

Sanctuary AC Fixed

Last Sunday the sanctuary A/C did not work. Roy called the service company on Monday and it is now working in the sanctuary. We can worship God in cool sanctuary again.

Want to Add Music to the Service?

If you have considered playing an instrument, singing, or performing a dramatic reading, summer is the perfect time! Please inform Lisa Hutcheson, and she will coordinate with your schedule. The congregation is very supportive and loves to hear members share their talents, so don’t hesitate to give it a try!

The monthly fellowship over lunch is coming Friday. BYOB—Bring Your Own B where B can be anything such as burger, burrito, baked potatoes, beef, bacon, buffalo wings, bibimbap, bento, etc, but not beer. It is coming Friday, 11:30 AM at the church library.

Flag Day

Coming Friday, June 14th is Flag Day when we celebrate our national flag (or Stars and Stripes) and commemorates June 14th, 1777 when the Continental Congress determined the composition of the nation’s banner: “Resolved, That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.” How about we salute the flag this Friday?

Coming Sunday Hymns

Well, I do not yet have the hymns for this coming Sunday Morning Worship Service. But let me share one of my favourite Christian songs:

Sunday Scriptures and Sermon Title

Session Meeting

The monthly session meeting will be next Tuesday, June 18th, 6:30 PM at the church library. The session is a church council at the Presbyterian Church where the elected elders in active service assemble and discuss the church business. During the session meeting, all important church decisions are made. The session meeting is open to all members. You can come and voice out your suggestions, concerns, and thoughts at the meeting.

Worship in the Park

The Worship in the Park with the Central Christian Church at the Memorial park band stand is coming soon on Sunday, June 23rd. There will be pitch-in luncheon after the worship service. Members are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and food to share after the service. Though our regular Sunday worship service begins at 10:30 AM, the Worship in the Park begins at 10 AM. In case of rain, the worship will be at the Central Christian Church.

Voice Actor Needed

Don’t you love hearing the dramatised Scripture Readings during the Sunday Worship Services? You can join the bliss of being part of it. If you are willing, let Neal know before the Worship Service on each Sunday.

Nursery Volunteer

If you would like to volunteer for the church nursery during the Sunday morning worship service, please talk to Debbie Crouse.

The sign-up sheet for the next week is blank and empty. If you want to help pastor Je visiting our home-bound members, please sign up on the bulletin board outside the church office.

Prayer Request?

101: Thou Shalt Doubt (Sunday, June 12th, 2022)

Image
OT Lesson: Judges 6:33-40 (CEB) Some time later, all the Midianites, Amalekites, and other easterners joined together, came over, and set up camp in the Jezreel Valley. Then the Lord’s spirit came over Gideon, and he sounded the horn and summoned the Abiezrites to follow him. He sent messengers into all of Manasseh, and they were also summoned to follow him. Then he sent messengers into Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali too, and they marched up to meet them. But then Gideon said to God, “To see if you really intend to rescue Israel through me as you have declared, I’m now putting a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece but all the ground is dry, then I’ll know that you are going to rescue Israel through me, as you have declared.” And that is what happened. When he got up early the next morning and squeezed the fleece, he wrung out enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water. Then Gideon said to God, “Don’t be angry with me, but let me speak j...

Walk with Me

OT Lesson: Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16 (CEB) When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am El Shaddai. Walk with Me and be trustworthy. I will make a covenant between Us and I will give you many, many descendants.” Abram fell on his face, and God said to him, “But Me, My covenant is with you; you will be the ancestor of many nations. And because I have made you the ancestor of many nations, your name will no longer be Abram but Abraham. I will make you very fertile. I will produce nations from you, and kings will come from you. I will set up My covenant with you and your descendants after you in every generation as an enduring covenant. I will be your God and your descendants’ God after you. God said to Abraham, “As for your wife Sarai, you will no longer call her Sarai. Her name will now be Sarah. I will bless her and even give you a son from her. I will bless her so that she will become nations, and kings of peoples will come from her.” NT Lesson: Roman...

God Doesn't Care

OT Lesson: Isaiah 25:6-9 (CEB) On this mountain, the Lord of heavenly forces will prepare for all peoples a rich feast, a feast of choice wines, of select foods rich in flavour, of choice wines well refined. He will swallow up on this mountain the veil that is veiling all peoples, the shroud enshrouding all nations. He will swallow up death forever. The Lord God will wipe tears from every face; He will remove His people’s disgrace from off the whole earth, for the Lord has spoken. They will say on that day, “Look! This is our God, for whom we have waited— and He has saved us! This is the Lord, for whom we have waited; let’s be glad and rejoice in His salvation!” NT Lesson: Mark 16:1-8 (NRSV) When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint Him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been saying to one another,  ...
