Easter Breakfast The Missions Planning Team and Men in Action are partnering to host a breakfast on April 1 from 8:00 to 9:30 a.m. to raise funds for the Bragg’s Bus Fund. Stan & Sally are our missionaries, serving at Saugeen First Nations. A bus is critical to their children’s ministry and all donations over and above the cost of the breakfast will go towards this need.

Can you help with the breakfast? The Men in Action are looking for a few more volunteers to help with serving and cleanup. Connect with Mark Webb.

What Do You Want Me To Do For You? — Sermon Video

Mark 10:46-52 New International Version (NIV)

Blind Bartimaeus Receives His Sight

46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”

So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” 50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.

51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him.

The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”

52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
