•  Monday,  January 9 at 7 p.m.  Prayer Meeting will be at the home of Shirley and Philip Weatherbee’s.  Consider this your invitation to attend.  All welcome.
  • Tonight  – we will continue our Bible Study of the New Testament   beyond the Gospels. We will begin the Book of 1 Peter.  Peter’s first letter  offers unique hope to people “grieved by various trails” (1:6), a hope   rooted in the power of Jesus’ triumph over death (1:3, 21) and the  certainty  of His return (1:13). What practical difference does that hope make? It
    dramatically affects one’s behaviour. Instead of caving in under the  stress  and pressure of adversity, the person of hope responds with Christlike dignity and moral integrity. Come as we discover the great comfort we can  find in this letter – that we are not alone when we encounter  disappointment, pain, or persecution. Jesus suffered the same kind of   “fiery trial” and stands with us in our troubles, and shows us how to face  adversity. Please read chapters 1, 2, and 3, and come join us in a time  discussion, followed by a time of fellowship. You are more than welcome to  come to the Brookfield Church Hall at 7:00pm.

  • January 8: Flood Relief in the Philippines

When Tropical Storm Washi made landfall in the Philippines on Dec. 16, 2011, the results were devastating flash floods and landslides that left thousands homeless and decimated crops. According to the United Nations, as many as 400,000 people have been displaced. Thousands are in desperate need of food, shelter, clean water and emergency relief supplies. You can help support victims of this disaster by making a donation through PWS&D. You can give an offering through your church, mail a cheque to the office, donate online or call PWS&D at 1-800-619-7301 ext. 291. Please mark all donations “Philippines Flood Relief.” www.presbyterian.ca/pwsd.
