1 John 5:4 „...for everyone
born of God overcomes the world.
The Overcomers of this congregation who are 50+ meet monthly for fellowship
over lunch. A variety of activities follow, the highlight is always singing
along with Jean and the Guys. Our attendance of 25-40 includes newcomers
to the church as well as guests from the community.
Our annual roast beef dinner was a great evening. Our own very talented
folks put together some amazing combinations, trio, quartet, quintet numbers,
and devotions were enjoyed by the 70-75 in attendance.
A stirring message was given by Rev. Herb Shoemaker, our guest speaker
for Seniors Sunday.
In March Rev. Dave Gagnon came to inform us about his work as chaplain
at Lindsay correctional institution.
Each year our group participates in "Operation
Christmas Child" for Samaritans
Purse Outreach. Last December we were blessed to be able to send 2
teacher boxes filled with school supplies and 117 shoeboxes filled with
everything from toothpaste, clothes and soap to hair beads, shoes, toy
cars, dolls, Love and prayers for a child at Christmas. These boxes are
shipped by Samaritans Purse to hurting children Worldwide where the ravages
of war, natural disaster, poverty and illness have taken their toll on
their young lives.Their faces light up as they dig through their boxes
uncovering their new treasures. Samaritans purse delivers these boxes
while also telling them about God's greatest gift, His Son, Jesus Christ.
Come be a part and help give hope and bring a smile to a childs face this
Christmas.
We have many outings, activities and get togethers for you to join in!
An energetic crew transformed one of the cabins at Lakeshore Pentecostal
camp last year. Scraping, painting, repairing inside and out. We will
be doing it again this year! come join us! There is an annual Talent and
Hobby Day where we discover musical talents, poets, artists, quilters,
wood artisans, collectors and other surprises. Through Child Care Plus
we support a child in Kenya. In June 2003 we took a day trip to Oshawa
to visit the McLaughlin estate and the Antique Car Museum. To be a blessing
to our senior seniors is a priority. Visitation teams go out monthly to
those shut-in. Homemade goodies were delivered to 33 folk at Christmas
time. Over-80 birthdays are always a joy. The retirement town of Lindsay
is a vast mission field. Our prayer is for God to give us creative thoughts
for reaching out to our community and beyond.
In His Service, Ruth Armstrong
