Guatemala

On Sunday morning, when Ancaster CRC gathers for worship, I will be en route to Guatemala with World Renew to meet the people with whom we work in that country.  Our team will be posting to a blog while we are there:  http://volunteerblog.worldrenew.net/delegates2015

Our assistant pastor, Pastor Ed Visser leads the worship service this Sunday, Jan 11, and the morning service of Jan 18.  I will be preaching at our evening service on Jan 18 at 6:00 p.m.

Seth Reid Bootsma

Yesterday we celebrated the sacrament of baptism.  Seth Reid Bootsma was marked with the sign of God's covenant.  He belongs to God's family - not because he is so well behaved (he IS a good baby!) or because he can stand up say that he loves Jesus (he can't yet walk or talk). But he belongs.  We thank Jesus for that. Congratulations to Brad & Rebecca and the rest of the family!
