On this 5th Sunday, we’re starting a new series. It’s time to Get Joyful! For the next few weeks, we’re going to walk through the book of Philippians, a letter from the Apostle Paul to the church in Philippi that uses the noun ‘joy’ five times, the verb ‘rejoice’ nine times, and the phrase ‘rejoice with’ twice. No surprise that it’s known as the “joy letter.”

Our series will follow the course by Pastor Del Wells of the same name in parallel, taking some of its content and emphasizing different things than the lessons in Get Joyful. So, I encourage you to follow along with the course in your personal study to go even deeper than we’re able to on Sundays together.

The course can be found on our learning platform, with a new lesson published each week. When you sign up, you can do the course in modules or download the whole course as a PDF. Additionally, printed copies are available at the Welcome Centre.

We’ll be covering Lessons 1 & 2 in the message on Sunday, so I’m getting ahead this week and getting Lesson 1 in your hands to start the ball rolling.

I know you’re going to enjoy and be encouraged by the Get Joyful course. And I hope to bring it to life with you on Sundays as well!

Let’s get joyful!
Pastor Tracy
