Christmastime!

Another good Christmas parade. Our float this year had the text “The Lord is my light and my salvation” emblazoned across the front. You can see another view in this pic.

Once again we were glad to hand out hundreds of candy canes, with brief Gospel verses about the birth of Messiah attached.

After the Parade we invited visitors to the Library basement as usual, to warm up with hot chocolate or hot apple cider, and some excellent cookies!
The countdown has begun!

 

Although we share in the fun of the season, we know that for God the Father the birth of Christ was a very serious event, upon which would hang the eternal future of every human being. Praise God for the plan of salvation!

Food for Men

Every other Monday evening (except during Summer) a bunch of Christian guys get together to study the Bible. We try to get through a chapter each time, but sometimes we are noticeably slower than that! You’ll see from the pic that we have a wide age range, but that doesn’t stop us getting into studies at a depth that anyone would find challenging. We hope that guys reading this are already involved in a Bible study like this, but if not and you want to come along to ours, you’d be welcome. Use the CONTACT details to get in touch.

NEXT STUDY IN THE FALL

Ask to join the Food for Men FaceBook page at: FFM
Guys attend from Mount Forest, Durham and Markdale, and we’re happy to extend those boundaries!
Latest study: The Book of Hebrews

CORD Weekend

Couples from the Mount Forest House Church enjoyed time at the CORD weekend.  It was a retreat (or rather “Advance”!) for couples of all ages.  Held at the lovely Guelph Bible Conference Centre, and very capably run by Chris and Alissa Seddon of the church here.

CORD stands for “Couples Operating Relationships Diligently” and refers to the “threefold cord that is not easily broken” mentioned in the Bible (Eccles.4:12). A marriage that unites the couple in a joint relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ has the potential for the greatest love, strength and durability.

This was the second CORD event, and we’re looking forward to another really beneficial gathering next year, God willing.
