Watch last week’s sermon 👇
Till Now the Lord has Helped Us

Pastor John Wall visited SEMC and shared about his church planting and memories from the start of the church. The sermon mentions a place called Ebenezer meaning “stone of help”. It carries the idea that we pause, look back, and recognize that through every season, every challenge, and every victory, God has been faithful.

1 Samuel 7:12

Here's what our community is lifting up this week: 🙏 Praise God for 30 years of His faithfulness to SEMC! 🙏Pray for Tina Giesbrecht, Agatha Wiebe and Justina Gilbert as the trial for their brother’s murder begins this week in Chatham, and could last three weeks. Pray for the family to be sustained by God's grace as they relive the trauma during these weeks, and that truth will prevail and justice will be served. 🙏Pray for Jake Peters as his battle with cancer continues. 🙏Pray for the Trustee Board as they meet this week. 🙏Pray for the Elders as they meet this week. 🙏Pray that the Congregational Meeting this Saturday would glorify God, that we would be unified in the Spirit, and God's will would be done! 🙏Pray for EMC Missionaries Albert and Edna Martens as the Polar Bear Marathon that they organize takes place very soon now in November! Pray that they can continue to use this avenue to shine the light of Jesus into the world. Submit your own prayer request here.
