Scripture to Ponder & Prayer
Scripture to ponder: Hebrews 10:11-25
The writer of this passage is speaking to believers, impressing on them the importance of being in communion with each other as they share and express their common faith. We are sanctified by the ultimate sacrifice of God’s son Jesus – made holy. As we live into the new covenant, we are called to “provoke one another unto love and to good works”.
Prayer: Loving God, we come with gratitude for our community of faith. Bless us together as we seek to live out our faith in community with one another. May your peace and grace be with us today and always. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We are grateful to Terry and Nancy DeLong and Charles and Judy Powell for cashiering this Sunday.
Rev. Damber Khadka will be on vacation from November 12 to 23, 2024.

*NEW: AED training: Recently, a Heart Specialist was interviewed on the Radio. He said that “ANYONE, OF ANY AGE, AT ANYTIME AND ANYWHERE, CAN HAVE A HEART ATTACK!!” If a loved one or anyone at our Church was having a heart attack, would you know what to do to save them? Do you know where the AED, that GSA graciously gifted us 10 years ago, is and do you know how to use it in conjunction with CPR? If not, the Board has approved 2 one-hour Training Sessions, for you, one on Monday, Nov. 25 at 7pm and the other on Sunday, Dec. 1, shortly after our regular Service ends. Those, who are in the Church the most, have already been invited to attend. As of this morning there are 6 spots available for the Monday Session and 4 seats left for the Sunday Training. We are still waiting to hear if any regular PAL volunteers want to attend, and if any additional GSA Congregants wish to join us. Therefore, it will have to be on a first-sign-up, first-accepted basis so don’t delay if you are interested, and call Terry DeLong at 204-254-3450 or e-mail him at terry_delong@hotmail.com. If any seats are still available on this Sunday Morning, then a sign-up sheet will be in the Narthex, but don’t count on it. Thank you.
And by the way, also included in our AED Cabinet, is a brand new Naloxone Kit, which is used to rapidly reverse an Opioid overdose, if, God forbid, we ever need it. It sells for over $200, but we got it for free from Access Fort Garry!!
Electronics Recycling – The electronics recycling is continuing, thanks to the kind volunteer time of Carl and Margaret Shaykewich. Please only put recycle items that fit into the blue recycling box. NO large items, such as appliances or tv’s. It is also helpful if you package batteries in a plastic baggie. Thank you.
