TROUBLED WATERS:
A COMMUNITY WORSHIP SERVICE OF LISTENING, LAMENT AND HOPE
On Sunday, March 18th at 4 pm, the community is invited to this service at Blythefield CRC church at 6350 Kuttshill Rd.   Watching and hearing the deep concern and widespread effects regarding the contaminated water in our communities, we are coming together as concerned clergy and churches to bring this troubled matter to God in prayer. By hearing the stories of affected persons, hearing the words of Scripture, through song and prayer, we will lament the layers of trouble that are coming to light and pray together for God's help and healing.  All are warmly welcomed.
