GBC Community Update: Are you a person of hope?

6/25/2020

0 Comments

 
​Good afternoon. It’s been nice to see some of our activities starting to happen here again at the church.  Several of our small groups met in person as did our youth ministry. I know some of the protocols may seem onerous but we do this out of obedience to our government and not out of fear. We seek also to create a safe environment for those who may be hesitant since we’re here to share the peace of God and the gospel. Remember, in all things grace!
 
Reminders for Sunday
I’ve attached again the reminder and update from our reopening team. I look forward to seeing those of you who come out on Sunday. Remember, no pressure. If you’re not feeling ready, no problem, connect with us on the livestream. Q&A time will be focusing on prayer since it’s the last Sunday of the month.  If you have a prayer request, you can send it in ahead of time if you’d like to me at [email protected]
 
 
Twenty+ Small Group Starting Soon!
Calling all YOUNG ADULTS!! A 6-week summer IN-PERSON group is starting on Thursday, July 9th at 7pm for those that have graduated high school OR are in their twenties. We are focusing on the struggles of being a Christian in today's world climate and how to lean on God through it all. RSVPs are needed due to Covid guidelines. Contact Natalie Spencer for details. Cell number: 519-827-5993.
 
 
Service Opportunity at Saturday Night Supper
GBC will once again be providing another Saturday Night Supper at the Royal City Mission on July 4th.  We are blessed with this opportunity to share God's love with the needy through this meal.  We have been asked to drop off food, and the Royal City Mission staff will package it and hand it out to guests outside their church.  If you're interested in providing food or grilling burgers, please contact Andrea Thornton at [email protected] or call 905-537-9607 as soon as possible.
 
 
A thought for the day: May we be People of Hope
While we’ve been looking at the issue of ‘joy in the storm’ of late but the message of hope from our series leading up to Easter has still been on my mind. As our experience with Covid continues to drag on it becomes easy to despair and lose hope. 
We must face these days of fear and testing, we really don’t have a choice. So, may we not passively accept them or capitulate to them. These can and should be days of renewed worship, rededicated service, care, friendship, work, and love. We must be alert to the stranger among us, and we must love one another and be kind to one another as God has been merciful to us.
To follow Jesus is to be a people of hope. And our hope is not in vain, because it’s invested in the creator God of the universe, who has given us life and hope through Jesus. He is worthy of our trust, and He can aid us in conquering our fears. Jesus said the night he was arrested: “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart!  I have overcome the world”.
 
In His grip,
Pastor Chris
