Christ Church - Waterloo

What a lovely morning with rostered and lay leaders of the Two Rivers and Grand Ministry Areas, along with Rev Adam Snook from the Synod Office, as we shared ideas hope for present and future collaborations among our ES Lutheran congregations in the Waterloo and Wellington Regions.

We enjoyed guest preachers over the past two Sundays, Bishop Carla Blakley on Sept 21, and church member Andy Ngae on Sept 28. What a pleasure and delight! We heard the Bishop encourage us to "shock the world" with grace. And Andy shared his on the ground experience of growing up in Cameroon. He talked of the Canadian Lutheran World Relief accompanying those living around the Lake Chad basin today in restoring their lands and livelihoods from the devasting effects of climate change.
