IMPORTANT STARS NEWS

Posted by on Tuesday, November 13th, 2012 in News

 As you know we are planning on a special taping this Saturday, November 17th @ 10:00 am, followed by a light Pot Luck lunch at Crieffhills Community Center.  There is a room available for us to have lunch in, providing our numbers are okay.

I have heard from some of you regarding whether you can come, but have not heard from others.   PLEASE LET ME KNOW , (Joni, jsmith@standrewshespeler.ca), if you think you are coming for lunch so that we can plan accordingly.  If our numbers are too large, we will have lunch back at the church.

The weather forecast looks to be in our favour on Saturday, sunny with a high of 6.  Please note that we will be outside, so dress warmly.  We are going to have a lot of fun!  Even more fun if all of you are there.

Please tell me what to preach

Posted by on Saturday, November 3rd, 2012 in Minister

This coming January I would like you – that’s right you! – to decide the topic of the sermons I will preach. During the month of November, I will be collecting your suggestions of sermon topics.

You may post your suggestion right here as a response to this post. Phrase it as a suggestion (“You should preach about ________”) or as a question. If you would rather remain anonymous, you can message me or give it to me at church in an envelope.

I am going to ask, however, that you only make a suggestion if you are likely to attend a worship service this January. This is only for people who will participate.

During the month of December all of the suggestions will be put to a vote by the congregation (more details on that later) and the top four suggestions will form the sermons in January.
