10 September 2023. Today we welcome new people into our community. We celebrate the gifts they bring and the gifts they are to God and God’s family here in this church. The sermon today is the second of three on the subject of HOPE, describing the story of Job - a righteous man with everything going for him, a man who did everything right according to the Law of God and yet this man endured tragedy after tragedy, losing everything in his life except for his faith. In his story we can see seeds of HOPE planted along the way. Thanks to Brian Todd for reading the Scriptures, to Gordon Newlands for the Intercessions, to Pastora Jeanie Cooper for playing the organ, and to David Sanders for recording and uploading the service.
