Rev. Ariel’s father, (Peter Kurilowicz), passed away peacefully on Thursday morning. He is now with the Lord Jesus. On behalf of WS and the S9 congregation, we convey our condolences to Ariel, Sophie and Kirsty and their immediate families. May the God of all comfort, be their comfort at this time of bereavement. Quoting from Kirsty’s blog: ‘He said in his last moments of consciousness 2 days ago – “I am ready to meet my Saviour”.’ Even in his breathlessness he sang the hymn… ‘It is well with my soul’. May we thank God for the life of Peter and be encouraged to know as Christians we can face death with boldness and assurance.

Profession of Faith: Have you recently become a Christian through repentance for sin and trusting faith in the Lord Jesus? Or…… did you become a Christian a long time ago but have never made a public profession of faith? Now is your opportunity! A preparation group (Baptism classes) will commence soon in time for the 27 November baptism/confirmation service. Please express your interest to one of the S9 pastors.
