“Walk It Out" Email Update from Laurentian Wesleyan Church
Inspiration and Information to Help You "Walk Out" Your Faith Everyday.
Thursday, June 17, 2021
Hey Everybody
I pray you are filled with the grace and peace of Jesus today.
Pray for Christ’s Peace…Not the World’s.
I’m writing this on Thursday morning, and this afternoon I have the privilege of leading the “Celebration of Light and Life Service” at Waters Edge Care Community. It is a service they hold every so often to honour those who have passed away. I’ll be giving a short message from John 14:27; “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” I’ve been reflecting on the difference between the peace of Christ, and the peace of the world. So today’s email reflection is a bit of a do-it-yourself one. Would you consider reflecting on the differences? Of course, we know Christ’s peace is better, but we often forget why.
I pray for peace, and welcome your prayers for those who are grieving in this season.

This Sunday, June 20th! - Happy Father’s Day! & Two Sunday Services!
I hope you will join us in-person, online, this Sunday as we celebrate all the men in our church at either 10am or 11:15am.
•10am - In the Sanctuary - In-Person and Online
•11:15am - In the Basement - In-Person
We are inviting you to register for service at www.laurentianchurch.com, but we have more seats available, so I’m confident they’ll be a seat for you!
Why still two services?
If everyone comes, we are just over our current capacity of 15%, so we're happy to offer two. And I like our “cool” service in the basement 😎. On a hot Sunday, it’s a great place to be. It’s a little more personal as we sit around tables and have an opportunity to share, and our singing fills the basement…even with our masks on! 😷🎶🙌🏻. We’re still asking you to consider registering so we know they’ll be folks in both services. So…whether 10am in our beautiful sanctuary, or 11:15 in our cool basement…we hope to see you Sunday!

Prayer Update
•Pray for all our students and teachers as they finish up this weird school year.
•Pray for our online District Conference this coming Saturday, June 26th. Tony Verlinden will be our delegate. It’s wonderful to be a part of the Central Canada District, where we share vision, mission, accountability and governance…among other things. I’d appreciate pray as I am preparing a little video opener with people from across our district reciting “The Lord’s Prayer”. I hope to show the finished video in our service next Sunday…reflecting the diversity and people from around our Central Canada District family.
•Continue to pray for May Demers who recently had a heart attack (cousin of Verna Verlinden, and friend of Marg Anderson).
If you have a prayer request you’d like to share, please let me know.
You can also join and share requests on our “Laurentian Prays” Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/laurentianprays

Do you have a heart for missions?🌍🌎🌏 Do you want to see our church’s heart for missions grow?🌱
We’re looking for someone to take up the mantle of missions in our church. This would mean being an advocate for what God is doing around the world, including the missionaries and the ministries our Change for Change offering touches. If you think this might be you, let’s talk.

Backpacks of Love
My friend Urs just shared the attached opportunity with us. “Backpacks of Love” through the "The Compassionate Committee for the Homeless in North Bay”. (Urs is the pastor at New Apostolic Church AND the baker at Orchards…serving bread in two ways! 😊). This committee is trying to help connect the needs in our community with solutions. Find out more at: https://www.facebook.com/compassionatecommitteeofnorthbay
Just passing along if you’d like to help.
(You can download the info for "Backpacks of Love" below).
