Sunday, December 14 from 2 to 4 pm
Fellowship Hall, St George's United Church

St George's is inviting us to join them for a Faith Sharing Workshop:

As Christians we are part of God’s wonderful story of reconciling love in Jesus Christ.  God’s love story with humanity that we read about in Scripture is meant to be shared with all.  Yet, so often as Christians we struggle to find the words to express our faith in an increasingly secular and pluralistic world. Do you struggle to tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love?  You are not alone and there is a hopeful way forward! Join Rev. Dr. Ross Lockhart for a fun and interactive workshop as we deepen our ability to speak the faith and cheerfully share the gospel story.

Members of St. Peter’s are invited to join us! This event is free, but we will be taking up a free will offering to help cover expenses.
