MEN'S FAITH AND FELLOWSHIP EVENT - SUNDAY 14 JULY
This Sunday is our parish Men’s Faith and Fellowship afternoon with special guest Fr Gerard McMorrow. In this valley of amazing farmers, we know about planting seeds, and tending to their growth, otherwise there won’t be a harvest. We read the verse in Matthew 17:20 about faith the size of a mustard seed being enough to move mountains! What it is telling us is that there will be “mountains” in our lives that seem to be unmovable (sickness, disabilities, financial problems, relational problems, etc.), and if we have faith the size of the tiny seed, nothing will be impossible for us when we follow Christ. Come and enjoy the afternoon and prepare for the harvest. Register here: Faith like a mustard seed AMAZING GRACE ROAD TRIP 2022
