Last fall Alex Henderson and a small team began praying for people in the cafe upstairs after Sunday morning services. Today they explain together why they have been doing this, some of what they have experienced, and what they feel they are learning. It’s a beautiful presentation with mature and sometime humorous perspectives on this important topic. A lady who happened to be with us today from out of province has been ill and one of her dear friends requested prayers for her before the service began. We were taken with the timing of this so we all joined our hearts and minds to pray for her at the end of the teaching.

We started this morning’s service with a baptism for Jennifer and Meagan’s daughter, Olivia. Then the rest of our service was dedicated to thinking about how to become the kind of people who can be a supportive presence to someone else’s growth.
