The link for this week's live-streamed service is here.
It has been a busy weekend at SPPC. Saturday evening we were all entertained with a lovely dinner, prepared and served by Barb and her crew. The event was a fund-raiser for the new heat pump, and an excuse to "break bread togther." Our congregation savours any opportunity for fellowship. Throw in a good meal and the tables fill quickly.

The meal started with a caesar salad. Main course was chicken and, finally, lots of desserts. Many accepted seconds!
Smiling faces and full tummies tell the tale.
Oh yes, the dinner raised over $1000.00 for the new heat pump.

Sunday morning was a very special worship service. Abigail is turning twelve. As is the practice at SPPC, in honour of her milestone birthday, she was presented with a study Bible, along with prayers and good wishes for her continued growth in the love of God.
I had a close up view of the procedings. Abigail blushed, but held her composure throughout the ceremony. Not sure if there weren't a few tears in the pews. We have watched Abigail grow from a baby at her baptism until now.

At her birth, she was more or less the congregation's baby. Now she takes her place as an active member of our fellowship. Congratulations, Abigail, happy birthday. May God bless you richly and may your life be enriched with faith in Christ, our Saviour.
A busy weekend for sure but a good one.
ReplyDeleteThe meal was lovely and enjoyed by us all.
Abigail was quite touched by her presentation and we were surprised to see her baptismal photo here on the blog.
Thanks again Alice for the weekly blog.
