Prayer, The Best Option

Where does prayer sit in your “to do” list? Is it an afterthought? You know, when all else fails, pray! As humans we are prone to self-sufficiency, independence, with a strong value for our own autonomy. Prayer, or being dependent upon another, (especially a deity we can’t see) is completely foreign to our natural and autonomous nature. Yet God calls out to us – involve me in your life, seek me, as I know more than you, and allow me to do miracles through you.

Prayer is more than a formula, a ritual, or a religious exercise. It is the inner person residing in us connecting with the living God in the universe. This is amazing. We can connect with the Creator (through the person of Jesus) who loves us, has our best interest at heart, and is all powerful. That is the thought the Apostle Paul begins with in his letter to the Ephesians. Read about it in Chapter One. This Sunday, I will be continuing my series on Ephesians. I will be expanding on the idea of making prayer our first option, and not our last. Join us and invite a friend - Pastor Jim Reimer.

Summer Retreat 2024!

Are you longing for long, warm days spent enjoying Kootenay Lake-splashing, paddling, floating, wading, walking forest trails, digging your toes in the sand, reading a good book, napping after a good meal, great inspiration from the evening services and time spent after with friends by the fire or playing cards. Come for an adventure and chill out - consider booking a week at The Harbour at Riondel for a vacation this year.

Here is the link to the Brochure for details. Aug 19 – 23.
