NextGen Student Takeover service. They will participate by serving, joining worship, and delivering the weekend's message alongside our NextGen Pastor, Gabrielle Christie. Throughout the event, we will have the privilege of listening to their inspiring testimonies, as they share their personal faith journeys in the context of today's world.

We look forward to gathering with you this Sunday in person or online during the 9am or 10:45am services.

This weekend marks the beginning of an exciting series called "Into All the World," inspired by the powerful words of Mark 16:15-16 (NLT). Jesus instructed His disciples to go out into all the world and share the Good News with everyone, emphasizing that belief and baptism bring salvation.

We invite you to join us this weekend as we embark on this series. Our special guest, Tibor Milkos, a dedicated missionary partnered with the Bartimeus Foundation, will be sharing his remarkable experiences of making a positive impact in the communities of Budapest, Hungary, and its surroundings. Through their dedicated efforts, they are spreading the love and message of Christ, transforming lives in their local area.

This week we end our transformative series, "56 Days That Changed Everything". If we have learned anything over the last 4 weeks, it has been that connection is the deepest desire of every human heart. But what was the connection that was made on the day of Pentecost? The Church, as we know it, was born!

As believers, this event emphasizes the unity that exists among our faith community from all parts of the world. Pentecost highlights the gifts of the Holy Spirit such as wisdom, understanding and courage. These gifts enable us to live according to God's will and serve others with love and compassion!

As we delve deeper into our series "56 Days That Changed Everything," we explore the historical occurrences that transpired from Palm Sunday leading up to Pentecost. Last week, we paid homage to Easter - the pinnacle moment of Christianity. As we progress through the series, we aim to dissect what occurred in the aftermath of Easter, and how those events paved the way for the advent of Pentecost.

Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, three days after his crucifixion. This event is a time of great significance as it represents that cornerstone of the Christian Faith.

The resurrection is the ultimate proof of Jesus' divinity and God's power over death. Through this, our faith shows us that Jesus Christ made it possible for believers to have eternal life. During this time, it is important for us to reflect on the sacrifice of God's only begotten son and to renew our commitment to living a life that reflects his teachings. It is a time for spiritual renewal, forgiveness and reconciliation. It is a time for us to celebrate the hope and joy that comes with the promise of eternal life!

Join us this week as we begin the Easter Season with our Palm Sunday service. Palm Sunday represents Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, a week before his crucifixion and resurrection. It symbolizes the recognition of Jesus as the Messiah, who came to bring salvation and freedom. Palm Sunday is the beginning of Holy Week, a time for us to reflect on the importance of Jesus' mission and sacrifice, and to celebrate the hope and promise of new life that comes with his resurrection.
