GBC Community Update: Sharing your faith-watch for opportunities

5/3/2022

0 Comments

 
Good morning! It’s been nice to see the daffodils bloom and plants starting to burst forth despite rain, cold and even snow recently.  Spring is here!  Our spiritual journey can be like this at times. It can seem like never-ending winter yet spring always follows!  Hang in there, look to God and rest on his promises of deliverance.  If you find yourself struggling and need someone to talk to, please reach out to me, or someone you know. Don’t travel this path alone!
 
 
Repair Café coming to GBC!
Have something you need repaired?  A piece of jewelry? Clothing? Electronic device?  Come on out to the Guelph Tool Library’s “Repair Café”! Saturday from 11am to 3pm here at GBC a variety of skilled trades people will be out to fix items for no charge.
This is an initiative of the Outreach Team and being held in conjunction with the Junction Neighbourhood Group.  Please pray for this event that we would have the opportunity to let our lights shine through this tangible act of service.

Thought for the Day: Sharing your faith: Watch (and ask) for opportunities.
I always find it so interesting how God brings opportunities for me to share about Him (whether at times I want to or not!).  He really does love to do this, sometimes at the strangest of times! That means I have to keep my eyes open so I can see the opportunities when they pop up.
 
I’m going to share two things to watch for, one today, the other Thursday:
God’s nudges. 
Only He knows when someone’s heart is ready to hear about Him. So, if I sense Him nudging my spirit, I know it’s time to say something. For me, His nudges feel like the nervousness I’ve felt before a race or competition, and my heart beats faster.  I know I need to say something. It can feel different for different people, though. Sometimes I’ll get that feeling with total strangers or people I’m having a totally different interaction with (think being treated by a physiotherapist!).  I suddenly sense God wants me to tell them about what he’s done in my life and what he can do for them. Honestly, these opportunities can be kind of scary times for me, but I’ve seen God open up crazy doors of conversation!  So, here’s my encouragement: LOOK for when God nudges, or better yet, PRAY for God to nudge you and watch how he does!
 
In His grip,
Pastor Chris
