Our new alliance with our 'sister-churches' - Moorefield and Fordwich United Churches - is really going well! We've been having combined services for the summer and rotating services at each church on different Sundays. The 3 Congregations are enjoying the camaraderie and spiritual togetherness, and are getting to know each other well during Friendship & Fellowship Time after each service. We're expanding our church family, and together we're making it work! Why not join us to find out how we're growing? This Sunday we're here in Palmerston at 11 am. Everyone is welcome!

Our Summer Worship has us in Palmerston this week, with Wendy Smith leading the service. Wendy's message this week should really resonate with the ladies in the congregation - "Life Lessons Taken from Mary & Martha" - Mary sits at the feet of Jesus and listens, Martha does all the work - why is Mary right and Martha wrong? Join us here at 11 am on Sunday and find out why - everyone is welcome. Always.
