Check out the first episode of Pastor Chat. Pastor Andrew and I got together with Pastor Chris from Billtown Baptist Church to chat about the church during these interesting and difficult days we find ourselves in. We plan to release more episodes in the near future. Enjoy!

A friend of mind recently sent this prayer to me. As I read through it, I found it to be very powerful. So, I thought I would try to share it with as many people as possible. I encourage each of you to not only read this prayer but to pray it and make it your own prayer to the Father during these difficult day! 

God bless each of you!

The Pilgrim's Progress is a classic. It was written by John Bunyan over 300 years ago. Next to the Bible, it is one of the most read books in the world! 

At this link, you will find a newly made animated version of this movie for the whole family, and it is completely free! All you need to do is provide you email address and that's it! What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

With all this time at home, particular being home on Sundays, the question of worship at home is an important topic to think about! Family worship is important and, if you are anything like me, something that we could all do better and on a more regular basis. All this time at home gives each of us the perfect opportunity to try our hand at Family Worship!

Here are some resources for continuing to teach the Bible and the truths of the Christian Faith to children while at home. Here is a website that includes several good and free lessons for kids on important truths of the faith. I have also included the link for a great series of videos on youtube called "God's Story," which goes through the whole Bible is short and fun videos. I also include a link here as well to the New Minas Baptist Church kids ministry website, which has good resources. I include a link to the New City Catechism for Kids curriculum.
