The link to this week's live-streamed service is here

October is shaping up as a very busy month in the life of our church. Here are a few  highlights.

• Synod meets at SPPC on the weekend of Oct. 18-20, 
• October 12-14 is Thanksgiving weekend
• on Saturday the 12th, at 10:00 am we'll decorate the harvest table. Offerings of produce, flowers and labour most appreciated. 
• Friendship coffee on Thurs. 10th at 10:00 am. 
• Choir meets that day but earlier than usual because the church will be used for an all-candidates meeting in the evening. 
• If you have questions about the people running for election in our area, this is your chance. Thurs. Oct. 10 at 7:00 pm
• On Wednesday, Oct 9, we begin our new season of Bible Study. Whew!

You'll note I've listed the October events in reverse order. That's because I want to focus this blog on the Bible Study. 

Our study uses videos, https://drivethruhistory.com/thegospels/ by Dave Stotts. Many of us are familiar with Stotts' hair-raising drives through the Holy Land and the landmarks he points out, often related to Old Testament events. 

In this series, his focus is on the Gospels and the life of Jesus. The video begins with the question "Who would you say is the most significant person who has ever lived?" For him, the answer is Jesus. Stott  still bounces along in his ramshackle vehicle, raising a dust and running out of gas, but the narration is firmly fixed on the life of Jesus. He references all four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, to get a complete "biography" of our Saviour. 

If you click the link above you can view the trailer for the series as well as individual lessons.

We meet in the lounge at 10:00 am and 7:00 pm on Wednesdays. All are welcome. Coffee's on. Discussion is thoughtful, funny, poignant. Bible study at SPPC is a safe place to share your thoughts, your questions, your experiences, your doubts, and to explore your faith with other seekers. Please come.
