Hello Church Family and Friends,

From Sunday to Sunday of next week, Christians take extra time to focus on the Passion of the Cross and the Wondrous Glory of the Resurrection.

Last week Deacon Anthony took us into the Holy Week with a meditation on the worship and adoration of Mary of Bethany from Mark 14:3-9
This week’s lesson comes right out of the what follows after that Last Supper as we connect Jesus’ teaching on prayer with facing temptation and evil.

We continue to keep our worship services simple and make it a point of gathering to observe Sabbath for you who attend in-person and you who follow us on-line. I am certain that in-person attendance at any TCBC event poses minimal risk and that there is value in seeing one another. At the same time I understand the many reasons for choosing to keep to on-line services and my hope is that the time you set apart helps you to fulfil the plans and purposes that God has set for you in the week ahead.

Will have a simple in-person Good Friday service starting at 4pm at the TCBC main sanctuary on April 15. Please join us in the way you feel comfortable: in-person or on-line. This April we will host 2 baptisms: one on Easter Sunday and one of the following Sunday.

Finally, for those who want to take time to meditate on the journey of the Cross, check out Toronto’s unique “Crossings” initiative. https://www.crossingstoronto.com/

Martin Tam is interested in leading a group on a Sunday afternoon “pilgrimage” on Easter Sunday. We will keep you posted on the time for this.

Please continue to pray for our hurting world, for those you know who are sick and struggling and remember our ministries at TCBC, particularly our Children’s ministry that we as a church are working together on to be able to restart in-person.

Blessings,
Pastor Nolan
