WHO IS MY NEIGHBOUR?

The Living Flame Choir has an anthem called "The Good Samaritan" that repeats the question, "who is my neighbour and just how far should my love go?"
Well, one of our neighbours at SPPC is the Field of Dreams just across the traffic circle.  So, when they were looking for sponsors, for the over 400 children involved in ball programs there, they came to our church.   Session discussed the request and decided that this was a place we could practice being a good neighbour. SPPC is now a gold sponsor of the Field of Dreams.  Look for us in their programs and on their scoreboard.  You might also find the odd ballplayer enjoying a hot dog in the SPPC parking lot.

   At the other end of the spectrum, is the

Extended Care wing of the Saanich Peninsula Hospital.  We provide ministry there too, by taking a worship service on the afternoon of the fourth Sunday of every odd month.  I was there in March and witnessed first hand the practical ways members of our congregation show forth the love of Christ and practice the art of being a Good Neighbour.
    As an institution SPPC is present to our neighbours, but what about you?  As individuals we also need to share the gospel, offer a helping hand, cheer on a new Christian and hold a cup of water for the thirsty.
