YF Serving at Jericho Road this Friday (21st)
Even in this colder weather your participation in last week's Bible study provided enough people to fill the room with warmth! It was awesome to hear about how the Lord has been working in our sister Laura's life. Please continue to pray for her and allow the Lord to teach us from her example of faith as well. Let's continue to reflect on desiring to have the affection of Christ Jesus for others and growing in our understanding that to live is Christ. Thanks for thoughtful sharing during Sunday school as well. My devotion has been focusing on the theme of compassion which encourages to echo this prayer all week "Loving Father, teach me to love and care for those that need you today. Those who are passed over and do not feel love unless I love them for you. May Christ's love for others be felt through me today. In your name and by your power I pray these things. Amen." Lk 6:27-36; 15:1-10; 10:25-37; 11:1-44; Jn 15:9-17; 11:1-44.
This Friday (21st), we have the privilege to continue serving with Jericho Road Ministries at 10 Crerar Avenue (Google Maps directions) from 7:15pm - 9:15pm. This is an amazing compassionate ministry and you can read about how they began and what they stand for at http://www.jerichoroad.ca/. During Discipleship week we spent a morning doing some labor outdoors and it was rewarding to see the final product. May the Lord use us as a blessing this Friday. Please arrange to meet at 10 Crerar and be picked up from there, bring clothing that you don't mind getting dirty (or paint drops) on. The form to give your parents is attached.This Wednesday (19th), there is a Christian University Fair at the Metropolitan Bible Church that a few of you had expressed interest in. It is from 7pm - 9pm.
This Sunday (23rd), we will continue our series in the book of Proverbs. Throughout this journey we have focused on the fear of the Lord as the beginning of wisdom, how He leads us and the rest of the series will focus on meaningful issues of life like the Lord's path, how to treat others and handle the resources we have been given.
Coming up: Next Generation Conference (28th) Familiy Feud event with parents!
Remember to keep up your daily Scripture reading and prayer... there is so much pain and joy to be shared in our lives. "Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too." - Frederick Buechner
Let us know how we can be praying for you this week or if you'd like to catch up!
See you all on Friday (and some on Wednesday)!
