DEAR ST. ANDREW’S FAMILY:
The Labour Day weekend marks the end of summer – a new season is about to begin. Never mind the heat – all the signs are there. Some leaves are already starting to change colour. The tomato run has been going for a few weeks and the air downwind of the canner’s and the spray field is ripe. We are invited to pause and take a moment to reflect. Church is about to roar back to life: children’s message and Sunday School on the 13th and a new small group discussion and study on the 23rd.
If anyone’s looking for a women’s Bible study, a new one is starting Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. at North Dresden Baptist Church.
SCRIPTURE THIS WEEK – Leviticus 25:23-34, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
MESSAGE – Key word is “belongs.” We own nothing. Everything was created by God and belongs to God.
SUNDAY WORSHIP IN PERSON – 10:30 a.m. on Sept. 6
SUNDAY WORSHIP ONLINE – watch past services on our YouTube channel.
