– our LPD Church of the Week
Thanks to Anna (Ben) Crumback at Sointula Community Church for producing the Church of the Week!
Good morning all!
Today, I become a senior citizen…
It is hard to believe! In many ways, I feel no different than when I was 40. I
enjoy the same activities and am as active as ever.
Hopefully, I am continuing to grow as a child of God, a husband, father and grandfather, am becoming a more effective leader and am continuing to grow in my love for Christ.
Funny, in many ways, I feel that I am just figuring out ministry and learning to more and more appreciate God’s wonderful grace – that is the joy of walking with and serving Jesus.
I have penned some
reflections I have titled, “Thoughts on Turning Three Score and
Five,” and I invite you to read these at this link: Thoughts_on_Turning_Three_Score_and_Five_October_23_2019.01.pdf
Thanks for your friendship and ministry alongside. It is a joy to serve our Lord
and you as His people.
Please pray for:

Jesus Evangelistic Mission
(JEM)
From December 1 – 15,
2019, Johnston Heights Church will be running a short-term mission’s event to
the Philippines.
The goal is to partner with local churches to participate in the same missional approach that Jesus used and that He sent His disciples out on in Luke 9,10 and Matthew 10. It’s about experiencing the presence, power and authority of the Holy Spirit through preaching the gospel, healing the sick and bringing new believers into disciple making communities.
You are welcome to join Pastor Phil Harris and team for this mission to the Philippines. Please contact Pastor Phil at (604) 308 2160 or email him at philwharris1@gmail.com
