May 2: The Parable of the Rich Fool
In the parables, Jesus conveys spiritual truths recounting simple stories with a twist. The parable of the rich fool is about a rich farmer who has a bumper crop. He decides to store his surplus grain in bigger barns and then relax by eating, drinking and having fun. Just then God appears on the scene and informs him that he is about to die. The story speaks of the deceitfulness of riches and the pitfalls of greed and selfishness. Join us to learn from Jesus, the master teacher.

God, Prayer and the Pandemic
We welcome you to join us for a virtual service on Sunday, February 7th starting at 5 pm.
The pandemic is still with us a year after it began. We flounder around wondering how to cope. We will examine this in the light of Psalm 13, one of the psalms of lament. “How long…?” is the plaintive cry of the writer. Lament turns to prayer and prayer and then trust, hope, ending up in joy.
The Allure of Gentleness
Theme: The Allure of Gentleness
Disciples of Christ are called to imitate Him. Of all the qualities we see in Jesus, none are as surprising and challenging as his humility and gentleness. His meek spirit attracted all sorts of people to him, many who were excluded from society. We will explore this noble trait of our Lord and see how we can try to resemble Him.
Special Christmas Virtual Service on YouTube on December 6th at 5pm
Theme: The Paradox of Christmas
Christmas during the pandemic is going to be different. It will be quieter, perhaps even bleak. It is a time to reflect on the first Christmas, which unlike the usual hoopla of the modern festival is a story about poor humble people. Most importantly it is the story of the mighty God becoming human, like you and me. God comes near at Christmas and we can actually get to know Him. The service will feature carols in different languages. Come join us.
November 1st: Faithfulness/Integrity
We welcome you to join us for a virtual service on Sunday, November 1st starting at 5 pm.
Topic: Faithfulness/Integrity
God is described as being faithful. He desires us as His followers to be faithful and be people of integrity. However, this virtue is sadly lacking in our culture.. We will examine the nature of integrity by studying Psalm 15 and explore the steps required for us to acquire and exhibit this virtue.
The service video will be available on November 1st:
“Loving Kindness”
Topic: Loving Kindness
God and the Bible are all about love. There are many words that describe and expand on this sublime virtue. One of these, loving kindness, describes love in action, as practical other-directed love. We will explore this virtue by looking into the Parable of the Good Samaritan.
