The Monday evening Fellowship/Bible Study Group have started reading the book by John Ortberg, “If you want to walk on water, you’ve got to get out of the boat”. This is a description of the book taken from Christianbook.com: Far too many of us have put our faith in a casual Christianity that never compels us to leave our comfort zones. But, deep within our hearts we know that Christ has not called us to comfort, but to an exciting, sacrificial and overwhelmingly fulfilling faith. In If You’re Going to Walk on Water John Ortberg teaches us how to step out of the “boat” of casual Christianity so that we can faithfully follow the Lord who is calling us out onto the risky, exciting waters of the high seas. Let Pastor Ortberg teach you how to leave your comfort zone for a remarkable life of faith.

Come along and see what you think! Monday evening, 7.30pm, Mozie Law, Canonbie.

Anthony is compiling the next edition of the Canonbie Chronicles over the next week.
