Who Are The All Souls & All Saints?

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 14, 2024

All Saints and All Souls are the Church triumphant in Heaven in union with us, the church militant, on earth. There is a deep bond between the two communities, and we join them in Heaven to worship and praise God unceasingly when we come to worship God.

Out of these three festivals, the most misunderstood and distorted feast is Halloween. We are still fortunate that the ...read more

You're Loved, No Strings Attached! Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Apr 15, 2024

In response to God's love, we purify ourselves by saying no to ungodliness and living uprightly by loving others as Jesus loves us.

Hey guys! Today, we're gonna learn from John, one of Jesus' best buds. John tells us that we're God's kids, loved big time. That means we don't have to be scared or try to impress anyone.
