Weekly Update August 23
How privileged we were to have Bishop Ian Lambert talk to us at our service last Sunday. Ian spoke on 1 Kings 3, where Solomon was visited by God late at night. Following some interesting discussion between the two of them (which you can read in verses 5-13) God gave Solomon a wise and discerning heart. Do we seek God for wisdom and discernmet in our daily walk?
We look forward to seeing you along at F5 at 5 on Sunday when Robyn will be leading the communion service, Gill is preaching and Paul and Co leading music.
