Good morning!
In our daily lives, Ask, Seek, and Knock reminds us to bring our needs and hopes honestly before God, trusting that He listens and cares deeply. When we ask with faith, seek with determination, and knock with persistence, we open ourselves to His guidance and grace. Even in small steps, trusting God’s timing helps us grow and experience His love in every moment.
As we remember Audrey Harms with love and prayers,we will come together to honour her life at a funeral service on Monday, July 28 at 2 PM at St. Giles.

BIBLE STUDIES: Every Monday at 7 pm and Every Wednesday at 10:15 AM
AFTERNOON SERVICES: For those who are unable to attend morning services, there is an afternoon study and prayer at 1:30PM every Sunday at St. Giles led by Rev. Chandra.
July 27 – 7th Sunday after Pentecost: This Sunday, our service will be led by our minister Reverend Chandra, with Wayne Hubbard as our guest organist and Jim Weisert, the co-convener of the music committee and choir member. This week’s Scripture readings are from Luke 11:1-12, Colossians 2:6-7, 11-12, and Hosea 1:2-10. These passages remind us that the spiritual life isn’t just about doing more or knowing more; it’s about a deep relationship with God, who remains faithful even when we are not. He calls us to be persistent in prayer, learning to trust His timing and submit to His will.
SCRIPTURE PASSAGE FOR REFLECTION:
“You forgave the iniquity of your people; you pardoned all their sin.”
-Psalm 85:2
