CONNECT WITH THE PAST FOR A BETTER FUTURE

Not only do seniors make up a large proportion of my congregation, these Traditionalists and Baby Boomers are also among the most dedicated and hardworking members I have. They love their church and they are faithful in attending services. They preserve the history of the church—its growing pains and glory days; and when they share the testimonies of how they “got the victory,” they build our faith in God and make us wise. They are the prayer-warrior generation; and I know I can count on them to hold their pastor up in prayer. As our faithful seniors age, they encounter health challenges that can affect their ability to attend services and contribute to the life of the church. One of these health challenges is Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s is a disease of the brain that impacts our short-term and long term memory and our thinking ability as more brain cells become damaged and eventually die. The disease also affects our mood, emotions and behaviour, as well as our ability to perf

Parents, Be Encouraged

Why you’re important In keeping with 1 Thessalonians 5:11, I want to encourage parents and build you up in the good work you are doing as parents. I think most of you know how important you are parents. Your role is important not only to your children. Most significant of all, your role as parents is also important to God.

God presents each child to us as a gift. It does not matter the circumstances of their birth. Because nothing catches God by surprise. He has a place and purpose for every child that is conceived; a place and purpose for every child that is born. So when you

Because HE Lives

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,   Because He lives, all fear is gone, Because I know He holds the future,   And life is worth the living,   Just because He lives! This is one of the songs you are sure to hear sung with gusto on Resurrection Sunday, the climax of Holy Week. And what a wonderful truth it represents! For more than 2,000 years, the truth of Jesus’ resurrection has given people the hope and confidence they need to keep on living in the face of weaknesses, hardships, insults, persecution, and death. Look at the verses of this poem written by Phillis Wheatley, an African girl who was brought to the United States of America as a slave in 1761 at the age of seven or eight. See him with hands out-stretcht upon the cross; Immense compassion in his bosom glows; He hears revilers, nor resents their scorn: What matchless mercy in the Son of God! When the whole human race by sin had fall’n, He deign’d to die that they might rise again, And share wi
