U Matters“I didn’t realise I belonged to such a big church,” was my favourite comment from last Sunday. It was great to get everyone together at one time and place. Last week’s joint service was amazing. Thank you for all who found the site and apologies to the fifty or so that showed up at Sunlight Tower. The singing, Dr. John Walton’s sermon, Confirmation, and Communion made it a worship service we will all remember. The BBQ allowed us to reconnect in ways that were wonderful. Special thanks to the many volunteers and janitors who helped us to set up and clean up. Gratefully, This WeekThis Sunday at the 11:15AM Service, 24 of our Senior Sunday School children will be graduating from Sunday School and into the Youth Group. Join us as we celebrate this important milestones with them and please extend your best wishes and prayers for these amazing children.

Using C.S. Lewis' Reflections on the Psalms, we will spend six weeks enjoying the Psalms' beauty and theology, as well as how they reflect the entire human experience, from exuberant praise to crippling shame to vengeful rage.
