THE PREACHING TODAY is the fourth message in a series based on the Book of Genesis. We are following the life of Joseph, who was harmed by his brothers but elevated by God to a position of authority in Egypt. Today, in Genesis chapters 45-47, we see Joseph and his whole family restored to one another. This is a beautiful picture of a biblical principle: God uses all things for the good of those who love Him.
NEXT SUNDAY, after church, a ministry team led by Mark Berry will travel to Shawanaga village in Ontario. They will serve there from December 28 until January 1. The team will share the Gospel and meet spiritual needs in the village. Please support this ministry in prayer.

IN DECEMBER AND JANUARY the pastor is visiting each Hope Group as part of our church's membership renewal process. At the start of every year we review what we believe and renew our church covenant with one another.
