Tofield Alliance Church God filledlife drink eat breathe January 20, 2013 "Appearances" “Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying, "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."” Luke 12:1 NIV Pastor's note: One of the most common - and most devastating - daggers hurled at the church is the angry exclamation, "You're such a hypocrite!" How do we respond to this accusation, and more, how do we avoid being guilty as charged? Thanks for joining us this morning. Let's Talk Welcome to a new message series that invites us to join Jesus and his disciples as they shared meals together. Mealtime conversations gradually build and shape our relationships; it is our desire that this series helps shape our relationship with Jesus. Pick up a series brochure - or check out the readings each week through the website. Ins and Outs of Sunday Mornings at Tofield Alliance Welcome to Tofield Alliance Church! We have put together a guide as to what to expect during our service. The Sunday services usually last around 75 minutes, during which we sing, share what God is doing, hear from God’s word and thank Him with an offering. Connection Cards, can be found in the seat back in front of you. We encourage you to introduce yourself or to comment about the service. They can be placed in the offering basket as it is passed at the close of the service. Offering The offering is a way those who attend regularly support the facility and ministries of our church, and ministries we partner with around the world. As a guest, you have not been invited here for your money, so feel free to pass the offering plate along without any guilt. Go ahead and bring coffee or tea into the auditorium during the service. And feel free to stay afterwards for another cup. Don’t rush away – we’d love to get to know you! Children are a big part of ou r church. Kids a ge two throug h grade six will be dism issed part-wa y through the se rvic School. Classro e for Sunday oms for the youngest (ages 2-3) are in the hallway beside the auditorium . Classrooms fo r older childre n are upstairs, acces sed through a door by the east bu ilding entrance (f ollow the signs).
