♥♥♥ OUR HEARTBEAT ♥♥♥
"Faith from God is Trusting in Jesus and Expressed as Love"
Good evening,
You are invited to Women of Heart this upcoming Thursday May 29 at 9:15 for a screening of the movie "Sex and Money". This documentary sheds light on the issue of domestic minor human trafficking and the modern day abolitionist movement to stop it. This past semester at Women of Heart we have focused on the final portion of our theme "Expressions of Love". We hope this movie will be eye opening and will encourage you to express love to some of those less fortunate in our city.
Please note that this film does cover mature themes and will not be appropriate for younger viewers. You can find the trailer and more information at http://sexandmoneyfilm.com
This morning will also be potluck style for snacks. Bring a light snack that is easy to share and easy to eat off your lap as the movie will run 93 minutes and take up the majority of our time together.
Tickets are still available for the MTO Cafe June 5 "What Happens When Women Say Yes to God."This event will challenge women to look outside their own schedules and make a tangible difference in the lives of women and children served by the Calgary Pregnancy Care Centre. After seeing the movie this Thursday you may be wondering "What should I do now?"
Come and hear their stories... Come and be part of the journey... Be challenged towards acts of kindness and generosity. Every ticket purchased will cover the cost of a journal to be gifted to clients of the Calgary Pregnancy Care Centre. Tickets are available online at http://www.cschurch.ca/event/569509-2014-06-05-mto-cafe/
Another way to get involved this summer is to help out at the Mustard Seed. Centre Street Church sponsors dinner on the 4th Saturday of each month at the SE location of The Mustard Seed. Volunteering is done in 2 segments: preparation of the meal and then the serving/clean up and takes about 4.5 hours – from 4:00-8:30. Upcoming dates are July 26, August 23, September 27 and December 27. Please contact Shari Scott for more information or to get involved @ shari.scott@cschurch.ca
Women of Heart wraps up this week but you can still stay connected with other women at the Summer Connection Tuesday nights starting June 24 at 6:30. This summer's study will look at Ruth Haley Barton's book "Sacred Rhythms". You can find more information at http://www.cschurch.ca/event/590587-2014-06-24-summer-connections-womens-ministry/
Finally, if you have attended Women of Heart this past year we would really appreciate you taking the time to fill in our survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZG5T95G We will use this information to help us plan for the 2014/2015 year. We want to do our best to encourage you in your spiritual growth and offer classes and opportunities that will meet those needs. Please take the time to read the spiritual continuum found on our blog (link at the end of this email) before you complete the survey as it helps to explain the questions.
"May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who call you is faithful and he will do it." 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24
