Pastor Erick Schuringa presents a message “Enter the Rest”, focused on Hebrews chapter 4, verses 1-11.

Last week, we looked at the fifth commandment for Mother's Day. Now we will consider the fourth commandment, on Sabbath-rest, on this long weekend. Biblical rest is much deeper than not working. Hebrews 4 will help us see this.

Pastor Erick Schuringa presents a message “The Weight of Honour”, focused on Ephesians chapter 6 verses 1-3

For this Mother's Day, we will consider what it means to honour parents. We may be surprised at some of the connections and implications this word "honour" has.

It’s GEMS Sunday, and Pastor Erick Schuringa will present a message focused on their theme, “Transformed - From the Inside Out”. He will look at the book of Romans, chapter 12, verses 1&2.

As we celebrate our GEMS girls’ club ministry, we look at their theme of transformation. Even while we do a lot of teaching and guiding, we ultimately believe that the transformation happens when God's Spirit gets inside us and reshapes our thinking.

Easter Celebration Service with Pastor Erick Schuringa. He will be looking at the book of Matthew, chapter 28, verses 1-10.

Easter is our celebration of newness, life, restoration and hope.  We gather to sing praise, share testimony and pay attention to all the ways God is bringing new life among us. As part of our service of celebration we will witness the sacrament of Baptism with the Schmidt familiy and celebrate Holy Communion.

We will have a Tenebrae service “a service of shadows” focussed on Isaiah 53. During the service we will celebrate the Lord’s Supper.

On Good Friday, we gather to remember and feel the depth of suffering that Jesus experienced on the journey to and on the cross.  This year we focus on how Jesus was rejected by us.  We pay attention to our painful part in that and to his incredible love.

Pastor Erick Schuringa continues our Lenten Journey with the 6th message in our Lent Series “Come to the Living Rock” entitled “Living Stones” He will be looking at passages from Luke 19:28-44; 1 Peter 2:4-10.

Palm Sunday connects with our Lent rock theme. Jesus talks about stones crying out and temple stones dissembled. In 1 Peter we hear of living stones assembling to praise God. We will also witness the sacrament of Baptism with the Dobson Family.

Pastor Erick Schuringa present the 5th message in our Lent Series “Come to the Living Rock” entitled “Soften Stone Hearts” He will be looking at passages from Jeremiah 31:31-34 and 2 Corinthians 3:1-6 The two passages for this week share the beautiful image of having God's truth written on our hearts. But how does this happen? What do we do to best become a community of people "competent as ministers" as Paul says?

For the third Sunday of Lent we will consider these two old stories from another time that are strikingly relevant to our journey today, We may not have an urge to build a tall tower or to form a gold calf, but the heart impulse behind those moves challenge us still today.

Pastor Erick Schuringa present the 2nd message in our Lent Series “Come to the Living Rock” entitled “Build on the Foundation” He will be looking at passages in Luke 6:46-49; 1 Corinthians 3:11.

For the second Sunday of Lent we will consider the passages that each of us have been reflecting on for our Guided Prayer Journey. They cause us to wonder about what it looks like to build on the foundation of Jesus the Word.
