Join the POG Relationship Challenge

We have two goals as a church this year!

To become more "Doers of God's Word" than we already are.

Secondly we want to experience in our relationships, the type of spiritual family, brothers and sisters in Christ, that God's Word calls us to be.

To that end...

We're challenging everyone at Port of Grace to, twice a month, invite someone from the church over for a meal or coffee and desserts, or any other activity (ie. game night) that will us truly get to know one another and truly become brothers and sisters in Christ, not just spiritually but in experience as well.

Also, remember to set aside every fourth Sunday for our Potluck after the morning service!

We Mourn...

Today we mourn the passing away of Gord Baird.

Gord's viewing will be at Davidson's Funeral home, from 12PM - 2PM.
It will be followed by the funeral service at 2PM. From Davidson's we will be traveling to the cemetery.

From the cemetery all are invited back to Port of Grace for a light reception.

Haiti Offering...

Last weekend, 100% of our weekend's offering went to aid in Haiti.

We had a church lifetime high of $3200.00 - This will be matched by the Canadian Government, which means, that offering will be doubled.

Thank you so much for giving extravagantly and generously this past Sunday for others who are in need. This is the heart of God.

May God encourage you and bless you for your faithfulness in helping those less fortunate.

Haiti

When you watch the news and see the unimaginable destruction and catastrophe in Haiti, one thing becomes clear. How can we possibly help? However, the right question is not how much can we do? But, How much will we do? The first question paralizes us. The second question empowers us to act.

As a church we believe there's two things we can do. First, and most important, we resolve to pray for Haiti. Most of all Haiti, needs God's supernatural move in the hearts of it's people. The United Brethren Denomination has 40 churches in Haiti. News coming out has been slow. Life was hard for everyone in Haiti before this earthquake. Now it seems almost impossible. This is true for everyone, Christians haven't been spared. But even, and especially, at a time like this, we pray that Christians in Haiti, would be strengthened, even in and through their mourning, to be powerful witnesses of God's healing and power in such a time like this, and the many years to come.

But as a church, we also want to sacrifice on the behalf of the Haitian people. With that in mind this coming Sunday, January 24, all of the offering that we receive, 100%, will go to Haiti! - The Canadian government is also matching any donations made to Haiti, so whatever we give will be doubled. Because we have contacts in Haiti, we know that 100% of the money will be used to help, and that it'll be used wisely.

So please pray for Haiti. And please consider giving sacrificially this coming Sunday.
