Something encouraging from Astrid

Dear church:
I would like to share this picture with you, just for you to taste what we lived there in Orlando..
Hearing and looking John Piper’s passion to share the Gospel is really encouraging.
Blessings,
Astrid.

Th. Vollenhoven at the Free University (VU) in Amsterdam, where his doctoral dissertation dealt with Croce’s aesthetics. It was supervised by Vollenhoven and Carlo Antoni. He then taught philosophy and German at Trinity Christian College, and went on to teach philosophical aesthetics at the Institute for Christian Studies in Toronto. He is the author of several influential books, including Rainbows for the Fallen World.

Ontario Chapter of The Gospel Coalition

Day rates are now available for the Ontario Chapter of The Gospel Coalition.  The conference is from May 29-31, 2012, at Heritage College and Seminary in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.  The rate on Tuesday the 29th and Thursday the 31st is $60 and the rate on Wednesday the 30th is $120. Wednesday’s rate includes lunch, all workshops and the special feature with David Short.   Registration is closed as of  May 21st but there are a limited number of spots available at the day rate so register early.

The theme of the conference is “The Priority of the Gospel”. Plenary speakers Don Carson, John Neufeld and Stephen UM will address this topic using Philippians 1-4. As a special feature, David Short will speak on “Striving for the Faith of the Gospel: The St. John’s Vancouver Anglican Church Story”.  We are also thrilled to be able to offer a variety of excellent workshops.   We believe this conference will strengthen, encourage and challenge pastors and Christian leaders in their gospel-centered ministries.

While the conference is aimed at pastors, leaders and students of pastoral ministry, all are welcome to attend.  Check out this link http://thegospelcoalition.org/conferences/regional/2012_ontario to learn more about the conference, plenary sessions and workshops and to register.

Marriage – a picture of Christ and the Church

I received the video below from Desiring God Ministries and I thought it would be helpful for the church. Some of us are married, some are not. Some have been married and some never will. Yet, we are all in a marriage relationship, if we are believers, so this video applies to everyone in the church. If you take nothing else away from this video, be reminded of the love for which Christ has for you and the sacrifice he made for you. If you are married, I hope this reconfirms the love you have for your spouse and gives hope for any circumstance you may be in. There is joy to be found in Christ, regardless of the circumstance; Christ is all you need.

Mother’s Day – Sunday, May 13th

This Sunday, May 13th, is Mother’s Day. And where would we all be without our mothers? (this is a rhetorical question) So, in light of our debt of gratitude we owe to our mothers and because we love them, even if they hadn’t carried us for nine months (give or take), we want to honor them and show the all love and gratitude we have for them.

The C+C’s will be catering to the moms on Sunday and will be preparing the post service meal. So mom, don’t feel like you need to bring anything, just sit back and kick off your shoes while we pamper and serve you for a change.

HAPPY Mother’s Day Mom. (on Sunday)

Sunday, April 29th is Potluck Sunday

We all love a good potluck. This Sunday, April 29th, is Potluck Sunday with the theme: Italian. So break out the mozzerella, pasta, and tomato sauce and dazzell us with your favorite Italian dish. Maybe you don’t have a favorite dish and you just want to try something new? Well, that’s ok too.

We are looking forward to a great time of fellowship following the service and getting a taste of Italy!

Buon appetito!
