Sundays at COOL

Thanks to everyone who helped make the first public service of COOL at Berwick Sunday 13th August a memorable occasion. We were delighted to be joined by Josh and Katie Wilton of St Simon's North Vancouver.

Sunday 20th David will be celebrating the eucharist at Living Word Episcopal Church (our Common Cause partner congregation of the Reformed Episcopal Church in Courtenay) for their 10am service. Sunday evening at 5 House Church meets for Communion at the Bowlers' new home 1523 Eton Rd in Comox. Supper at six followed by discussion.

We return to Berwick for the 9:30 a.m. service on Sunday 27th August.

COOL Celebration this Summer plus Fall Term events.

Advance Notice:

1. Beginning 13th August at 9:30 a.m. we shall be launching public worship with Holy Communion. Services will be held in the chapel/multi-purpose room at Berwick on Comox Ave accross the road from Comox Quay. Everyone is welcome. A Regent College seminarian, Josh Wilton, New-comers pastor at St Simon's North Vancouver, will be our first speaker. We intend initially holding services there twice per month in the morning alternating with house church at 5pm.

2. In September we partner with Comox Pentecostal Church to hold an 8 week Marriage Course at 6pm Sunday evenings At CPC on Guthrie.This will be in place of House Church for those weeks. The Marriage Course is an excellent resource for strengthening communication in marriage and should be of benefit for any couple. It is not a counselling course for troubled marriages, though those can benefit too.

3. After Labour Day, Youth Unlimited launches the new term. We expect to be partnering with Youth For Christ to hold Bible Studies for adult volunteers and parents of teens at Y.U. at 8 pm on Wednesdays at St George's United Church in Courtenay. Other adults welcome too.
