Do you notice how people you love make you shine.  You see them and they light up your life.  It seems the more we love someone the quicker we are to forgive them.  Jesus our Savior is the light of the world and He put His light in us.  I was thinking that Christ is in us and we should strive to be the light in someone else's world.  When they see us coming it should brighten their day.  Then I was thinking that we are the light in our own world.  Do you love the fact that God made you?  Why should you love you?  People that don't like themselves have a way of taking past mistakes and using the memory of those mistakes to cast a dark shadow over their own life.  Poor me.... no it's not poor me but I am rich in love and filled with God's grace and mercy.  We should always remember to love God and love others but don't forget to love who God made when He made you.  Have a blessed day in Jesus name.    
This Sunday morning I will be sharing on, 'The Right Place.'  Things always happen when we get to the right place and sometimes wrong things happen but they end up working together to get us to the right place.
This coming Tuesday @7 the ministry music of Double Portion will be at Munro Academy in Balls Creek.  This group is well worth the effort to come and hear.  Please try to attend if possible.  There will be an free will offering taken to support this ministry.
There is no midweek Bible Study this Wednesday.
Alice and I will be away next Sunday as we are attending the CFCM National Conference.  I am the Atlantic Canada Director for this ministry and each year that we attend the National Conference we are refreshed hearing about what God is doing across the nation.   
Continue to pray for all those in need, looking forward to seeing you soon, lots of love Pastor Kevin and Alice

You will likely enjoy most days more if you can avoid complaining about the little things that go wrong.  The little aches and pains, the little red traffic lights, the little things that others try to turn into big deals.  Solomon 2:15 "Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes."  It's in the tender places of our heart that little things going wrong can spoil our day.  On the other hand Psalm 118:24 gives us some insight into how we can have a better day, "This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it."  Try this verse on for size and apply it to your day.  A change in your attitude will result in a change in your altitude.  Don't sweat the little stuff but walk through today with the Lord for He is setting in Heavenly places.  Psalm 5:11 "But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You."
This Sunday I'll be sharing on "Gravity."  Gravity is a pull that one thing can have on another thing.  When we make a decision to bring something close to us it can have a pull on us.  Bringing God close puts a Heavenly pull on us while bringing evil close draws us away from the things of God.  Do you know the gravity of your decisions?
Next Wednesday is Bible Study @7 pm at the Spanish River hall in Sydney River.  I will be sharing again on, 'Understanding Spiritual Dreams.' 
Coming up a week from next Tuesday Sept. 20th @ 7 pm the music ministry, 'Double Portion' who are doing a tour in eastern Canada will be at Munro Academy.  They are a family ministry that you will really enjoy.  Our church is hosting this event but we will be using the Munro school.  (we will need some helpers)
Continue to pray for all those in need, confidence is high, looking forward to seeing you soon, lots of love Pastor Kevin and Alice.

When we speak about our best days being the days that are in front of us we are believing that things will get better in the future for us.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoy today for this is the day that the Lord has made but I believe by faith that there are better things ahead.  If you can't look far into the future and believe by faith for good then try having faith for the rest of this daySay that this day will be great, good things are coming my way, God put things in today to bless me and I will receive them.  You are paving the road ahead of you with a heart that's full of faith.  When you made excuses why today won't be a good day you place potholes in your path and with each bump you say, 'I knew this would go wrong.  Nothing good ever happens for me.'  If you were counting up from 1 to 100 each time you go to the next number it is higher than the last number you just said.  Counting up is like looking up and believing that I am going higher and higher.  Excuses are like counting backwards while trying to move forward.  Believe with me that today is going to be a great day and good news is coming your way today.
This is Family Sunday and we are expecting new people to be in our service.  We start @10:15 with food and fellowship followed by the morning service.  My message, 'The Volunteer'.  We can do many things but what is the attitude of our heart.  The right heart makes all the difference in what you will receive from the Lord.  We will share in 'Communion' at the end.
Bible Study will start again next Wednesday @7 pm.  We meet at the Spanish River hall in Sydney River.  I will be sharing on, 'Understanding Spiritual Dreams.' 
Coming up on Tuesday Sept. 20th @ 7 pm the music ministry, 'Double Portion' who are doing a tour in eastern Canada will be at Munro Academy.  They are a family ministry that you will really enjoy.  Our church is hosting this event but we will be using the Munro school.  (we will need some helpers)
