Minister’s Corner
Shalom aleikhem! שָׁלוֹם עֲלֵיכֶם Peace be upon you!
Good morning, and welcome to worship! We are so glad you are with us today as we gather in God’s presence to lift our hearts in praise and thanksgiving. Each week brings new reminders of His care—through answered prayers, encouraging conversations, and the steady comfort of His Word. How blessed we are to walk this journey of faith together as a church family.
Today we continue in Acts 8, where we see how God brings good news into surprising places. Scattered by persecution, the early believers carried the gospel wherever they went, and Philip’s preaching in Samaria brought both healing and joy. What looked like loss became the seed of blessing. This same God is still at work today, bringing light into dark corners and hope into unexpected hearts. May our worship this morning glorify Him, strengthen our faith, and fill every soul with the joy of His good news.
This Wednesday – 3rd September – Fellowship Dinner & Bible Class – 6:00PM
Please make plans to join us for our BYOD (Bring Your Own Dinner) mid-week Fellowship at 6PM on Wednesday. This is a great time to connect, strengthen relationships and catch up with one another.
From 7PM we will begin a new study of 2 Peter led by Manu.
