NEW SUNDAY EVENING BIBLE STUDY SERIES - WILD PLACES: Lessons from the Holy LandStarting September 15, 6:00-7:00pm, we'll be exploring the Holy Land using a DVD series by pas-tor and teacher George DeJong as he leads you to a deeper understanding and love of the Bible, through his teachings in Egypt, Jordan, and Israel. Presenting new scriptural insights, George will give you "eyes to see and ears to hear" as he presents God's love for you and His desire for your life. Pastor Gregg, having just been to the Holy Land himself, will lead this series and include some of his personal experiences as well. All ages are welcome, refreshments are provided.
September Song of the Month675 By Grace You Have Been Saved is our new song for September as it's a song that fits well with the sermon series on the Heidelberg Catechism. Each verse is directly from Scripture and the tune is "Oh How I love Jesus."
September Verse of the MonthWe'll be learning the first Q&A of the Catechism since it naturally coincides with the sermon series.Q. What is your only comfort in life and in death?A. That I am not my own, but belong—body and soul, in life and in death—to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood, and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil. He also watches over me in such a way that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven; in fact, all things must work together for my salvation.Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life and makes me whole-heartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.
Tot's and Tea Group: We are a gathering of Moms with little ones who get together to learn more about God and His love, and how He desires for us to be as women, wives, mothers, daughters, friends. We enjoy spending time sharing, listening, and encourag-ing one another! We meet at Williamsburg CRC for bible/book study 2 mornings each month while our children play together. Our first gathering of this new fall season will be on Wednesday, September 11th. If you are interested in joining the group, and would like
to be added to the email list, please let Kristin Groeneveld know. Also, we are in need of a couple babysitters: 1 babysitter for one Wednesday morning each month and 1 babysitter for one Thursday morning every other month. If anyone enjoys spending time with children and is interested in help-ing out in this way, please contact Kristin Groeneveld at (613) 535-2875 ; [email protected] OR Karla Pool at (613) 513-7507 ; [email protected].
