Sermon

Luke 4:18-19

18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has appointed me to preach Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the downtrodden will be freed from their oppressors, 19 and that the time of the Lord's favour has come.

Christ’s Strength in our Weakness

2 Cor 12:7b-10

In the Abilities Church we like to quote the last line of this text, “when I am weak then I am strong”.  After all, the core message of the Abilities church is that those with disabilities have something vital to contribute to the Church.    This is an important message and something I affirm, but we need to understand the context and where our strength comes from.

1. Paul’s Thorn

I hope you don't mind me sharing some good news here, but I am just feeling really hopeful right now.

Today, our church had a congregational meeting.

We voted overwhelmingly in favour of an  accessability project, which includes a LUA elevator.   The project would be done this summer.  It is conditional on a couple of items, though there is indicationthat those conditions will come forward...(well, as some of them were conditional on congregation approval).
