Listen & Do the Word – “Trying Times, Unwavering Truth”

Last week’s sermon “Who Is Holing Tomorrow?” encouraged brothers and sisters to seize the day and to do good. While we must maintain social distance between people during this pandemic, how do we care for our community and neighbours, to reach out to them and to practise the love of Christ?

There are a few resources we got from the community that we’d like to share with you.

• Mobile app: https://covidto.glideapp.io/
• Resources for social care: https://bit.ly/COVID-TO-Resources
• If you have relatives or neighbors who need food and grocery delivery service, please refer to the attachment Food & Groceries Delivery Information 032720.
• If you have relatives, friends or neighbours who need emotional counseling, you can contact “Toronto CCM Centre Support Hotline” at 416-291-8140 or 647-346-7276 or https://www.ccmcanada.org/hotline/

 
I hope that the above information can help you find different needs in the community. As long as you have a willing heart to care and help those in need, you can certainly respond appropriately. Either as an individual or as a life group, let’s take actions now to bring Christ’s love to others! Enquiry: Pastor Ada Chung @ 647-298-0317; [email protected].

Lord’s Supper

We’ll be observing the Lord’s Supper next Sunday April 5, please prepare your heart and spirit to observe together. Although worship will be held online, our pastoral and deacon team will be personally delivering the individual packages of the elements to those whose information has been registered with SGBC and those who are actively participating at SGBC.

We’ll be delivering them between March 28 and April 1; three 2-in-1 packages per person. Please keep them safe for the next two months after receiving them which do not need to be refrigerated. We’ll message you before and after the delivery. If you do not get it by April 2, please contact Pastor William Wong @ 647-809-2103; [email protected]. Thank you for your cooperation.
