Reflections & Prayers

As you prepare for this morning’s service to begin, you are invited to
reflect on the following…

“Occasionally we talk of our Christianity as something that solves problems, and
there is a sense in which it does. Long before it does so, however, it increases both
the number and the intensity of the problems.”
~ Elton Trueblood

“You cannot wish for both a strong character and an easy life.
The price of each is the other.”
~ John Ortberg

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for
good men to do nothing.”
~ Edmund Burke

Why is the message of repentance essential to the gospel?

What makes the message of repentance such an intolerable message
to many people?


Things to pray for this week…

We pray for theological students serving in rural and remote
congregations this summer.

We give thanks for the many people who joyfully support the
congregations and ministries of The Presbyterian Church in Canada with
gifts of time, talent and treasure.

We pray for Helena Human and the staff at our synod
camp, Camp Geddie. May their summer be filled with
blessings as they share the good news of God’s love with
all those who attend camp this year.
