Thank You

My sincere thanks to the congregation for the gift certificate from Charm Diamond Centre.  I have already purchased a gold cross and will wear it with fond memories. As well, thank you for your gifts, cards and kind words. It was my pleasure to serve the church as Office Administrator. I would also like to thank Pastor Ida and Pastor Bob for their kind words last Sunday.  I was overwhelmed and honored by their praise and humbled knowing that God made me who I am.  It was a joy to work for the Pastoral Staff.  Love and blessings, Sharon.  "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as though working for the Lord.  It is the Lord Christ you are serving."  Colossians 3:23-24.

Children’s Workshop

A workshop on Young Children and Worship and Godly Play will be offered by Carol Anne Janzen on Saturday, June 12, from 9-3, at Port Williams Baptist Church.  This approach, which is now used world-wide, can be used either for children’s worship or in an educational setting, and has proved very effective in helping children engage deeply with the stories of the Bible. Having directed the Children and Worship program for 6 years in my own church, and witnessed its use in numerous others, I’ve witnessed its strength in various settings — it truly helps children to “know God” not just to “know about” God. One of the benefits is that once set up, it requires minimal weekly preparation. Please contact Carol Anne at 585-2230 or at carol.anne.janzen@acadiau.ca for more information or to register. The fee is $25 per person or $50 per church and includes lunch.
