I publish the sermon notes weekly on Bible.com.  If you have the app, YouVersion, you can find these on Sunday mornings under Community Life Church … you may have to add “Grand Manan” unless you live on the island.  The notes are accessible from 9:00am until 2:00pm and then they are removed.  Users have the option to “Save Event”.  If you do this, the notes will stay under “Saved Events” on your app in case you want to look back at them in the future.  Please feel free to share as you may wish. – Karl

2018 – No Regrets

The Sermon Synopsis

We tried to publish our Sunday sermons regularly, some time ago now.  It as difficult to do because the messages are highly interactive.  This is my preference.  I believe that people ought to engage with the message in order to receive and contribute to it.  So many sermons are one dimensional monologues.  My increasing difficulty with this is that I believe this is the same dynamic as watching it on television at home.  It is far too easy to tune out or to simply ask away from it and ignore it.

On Tuesdays I will publish the reader’s digest version of the message.  Undoubtedly there will be weeks when this does not take place.  I hope to make it a consistent practice.  Please feel free to share as you wish.

On a Stormy Sunday …

by | Jan 7, 2017 | Life Between Sundays, Sermons, Special Events, Uncategorized

I remember watching Sunday storm cancellations in the winter of 2015, specifically on Grand Manan.  Sunday after Sunday, services were cancelled.  It was a storm experience that should give you all bragging rights for the next 40 years or so.  You’ll talk about that winter to your grand and great grandchildren.

You survived it.  Well done.

In the event that we have to cancel this year, we will do the following:

  • Notify you by talk mail.  If you are not on our list, see Carolyn Cook.
  • Post the cancelation on the front page of the website and Facebook
  • A separate post on the website … there is a spot on the site for you to subscribe to church posts so that they will come directly to your email inbox.
  • Drum roll please … I’ll provide a link on Facebook and the website posts so that you can watch church from your home.  I’ll broadcast a service of sorts from my own home in the hood and you can join in.  You are anxious to see that aren’t you?  We might tomorrow.  I’ll begin the broadcast at 11:00am and it will last for 30-45 minutes.  You can watch for as long or as little as you wish and make your toast while I am preaching or singing.  If you don’t have the internet find out who your closest neighbour is, who does have a connection and join them there. (I just added a page on our site (Ustream)

It will be a fun experiment that we will become more proficient at the more we use this utility.  Thanks in advance for your patience as we try this stormy approach.

Thanks Lifers …
