Hi folks,

Due to unforeseen circumstances there is not yet a link to a service for this Sunday. If it is available in time, we will post it here and on our Facebook page.

In the event we don’t get a SouthWest service online this week, Broadview magazine has a list of United churches across the country providing some kind of online worship. Why not pretend you’re allowed to travel and check out a long-distance service like this one from St. Paul’s United Church in Sidney, B.C.? Bear in mind that it’s 3 hours earlier in B.C., so this Sunday’s service may not be up until later in the day, but you can watch last week’s any time.

Pastor Beryl’s chosen scripture readings for this week are:

Psalm 66, Parts 2 & 3, (VU page 784-785), and

John 14: 15-21 (p. 138 in the Good News Bible, and printed below).

The Promise of the Holy Spirit

15 “If you love me, you will obey my commandments. 16 I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, who will stay with you forever. 17 He is the Spirit, who reveals the truth about God. The world cannot receive him, because it cannot see him or know him. But you know him, because he remains with you and is[a] in you.

18 “When I go, you will not be left all alone; I will come back to you. 19 In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will see me; and because I live, you also will live. 20 When that day comes, you will know that I am in my Father and that you are in me, just as I am in you.

21 “Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. My Father will love those who love me; I too will love them and reveal myself to them.”
