What is a mom's greatest quality? What is the best gift you can give your mom? The answer is the same for both questions.
The Board of Directors of Keele Street Christian Church has unanimously voted to re-open in-person service in accordance with local health restrictions, but due to current health restrictions we do not have capacity to allow for public attendance booking. Please monitor for changes to health restrictions allowing for 15% or more capacity at worship services and check back again. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Currently: Messy Faith (2 Corinthians)
Message: “Third Time’s the Charm”
I don’t know if you have noticed, but life is messy. People are messy. Relationships are messy. And since COVID-19, it seems that life, people, and relationships have only gotten messier. Chaos, stress, fights, disagreements, protests, and that’s just in our families before the coffee is brewed and the first Zoom meeting is underway!
What about the church? How messy is the church? How messy is faith? We would like to think that the church is the place where everything makes sense and everyone is on board and we are all happy and loving and full of hope and peace, but people who think that is what the church is like, most likely have never really been part of the living, breathing mess we call the local church. Many others have seen that side of things and unfortunately gave up on church a long time ago.
I can understand that. Mess is stress, but it is also life and often it is the way we grow.
This week Grant is continues with a new series that will take us through the book of 2 Corinthians.
2 Corintians is Paul’s messiest book about one of the messiest congregations in the Early Church. Paul is in the thick of things, broken, hurt, attacked, unsure, awkward, but still clinging to his faith in Christ. It was a time of uncertainty and chaos. It was a time when the church was battling cultural compromise and disappointment in themselves and in their leaders.
I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that this is the right book for our present time. Let’s enter this messy faith and see that where there is mess there is also life and hope.

Every Tuesday (other than the first Tuesday of the Month when we go to our community prayer walk) we get together to pray and study God’s Word.
We begin with prayer at 7:00 pm. A group of dedicated people lifts the ministries and concerns of the congregation and community to the Lord. If you have a concern you would like prayed for, or if you would like to be present to be prayed for, you can email Grant.
Then, at 8:00 pm, we have our Bible Study. This is a time of informal, relational study together. We have a lot of laughs and lots of serious discussions as we seek to understand and apply God’s Word to our lives.
SPOTligtht has gone virtual for now since we have been asked to suspend public meetings.
