Sunday night with Canon Andrew White will be one many of us will long remember. To quote him, “Heaven came down to earth.” Thank you for your amazing response in all the services to the needs of the refugee school in Jordan. Between the special offerings, banquet and other creative funding opportunities, HK$603,280 was raised. Special thanks to the Deacons and the Mission Committee for working together to prepare the church to make such a generous response. My colleagues Pastor Michele and Lee-Ann deserve special kudos for helping to orchestrate the effort. This week, at all services, Bob Kilpatrick, speaker and Christian songwriter, will speak. Back by popular demand, Bob has had a special ministry with us and we can’t wait to see how God will use him this time. Pastor Greg |

Bible Series Talk - 'David the King: Gangster to Glory' - Pastor Matthew
One throne, one crown, myriad rivals. Let the games begin. Though the odds are always in favour of God's chosen, David must extort, maraud, and harry his path across the Promised Land. His way is often our way: faithful in want, corrupt in exultation, yet redeemable. We will follow the story of Israel's move from tribal confederacy to illustrious monarchy through the Bible's legendary statesman, the King of Spades.
