The word discipline may cause many of us to recoil. It sounds too much like the cough syrup which boasts, “It tastes awful. And it works.” In this evening seminar we will explore the spiritual disciplines and see that although requiring attentiveness and commitment, they enable us to experience joy and growth in our walk with God. I think you will agree, they are much better than that famous cough syrup. So come on out and enjoy some coffee, tea, home-made desserts, learning and table discussion together.
Join us Sunday November 24th from 6:30 - 8pm to hear Tim Voth and Dave Lee explore the spiritual disciplines. Dessert and coffee will be provided. If you are planning on coming, please sign up through the button below so we know how many people are coming! Thank you!

Freedom Session will be running at Sardis Fellowship starting Thursday September 19th at 7pm. Freedom Session is a powerful, healing-discipleship journey, inviting you to rewrite your story with a God-inspired ending.
Through biblical teaching, small group discussion and personal reflection, Jesus will heal your heart and empower you to live a life of freedom and purpose.
Freedom Session is one of the most effective, encompassing and transferable healing-discipleship ministries available. Jesus doesn’t identify you according to your behaviours or behaviours committed against you; neither will we. As you open your life, hurts and will to the leadership of Jesus, and invite Him to reinterpret the painful memories that Satan uses to keep you in bondage, Jesus will heal your heart, set you free and give you a vision for life you never thought possible.
Join us for a day of prayer and fasting on December 2nd. You can choose to participate in this day of prayer however you would like, wherever you find yourself.
As an initiative to increase our dependency on the Spirit, and seeking God to do a transformative work in and through Sardis Fellowship, we set aside the first day of the month to fast and pray. We know not everyone is able to do this in the same way, or to the same degree, so we ask you to consider how you can make this work for you.
Each month we highlight something to focus on, whether that be in the life of our church family, our local community or world. Sometimes we have specific things for you to pray through and sometimes we just give you the focus and allow God’s Spirit to guide you in your prayer time around that topic.
If we as a church family want to see the transformative power of God at work in our lives, the lives of our loved ones, and the community we live in, then we need to seek Him in prayer. I trust you’ll join us each month. Pastor Rod Heppell.
December 2nd: Prayer and Fasting
Our focus this month will be praying for the Salvation Army ministry. For their 100th year anniversary of being the hands and feet of Jesus in our community. For their work in the shelter, food bank and meeting the spiritual needs of those often overlooked or forgotten.
You can go to the Salvation Army’s website to learn more about what they do and ways you can pray for them.
Ruth and Naomi's Mission is "transforming the lives of people experiencing homelessness, poverty, or struggling with addiction by bringing hope and healing through the love of God."
Sardis Fellowship has the opportunity to serve a meal at RAN every second Monday of the month from 5:45-7:15pm. We will be serving the food and cleaning up afterwards and need 6-10 volunteers per night that are 16 years or older.
Ruth and Naomi’s is located at 41630 Margaret Avenue. Arrive at 5:45pm and go to the smaller office building not the multi-story housing building. The Hall Entrance has a white canopy over it and once inside talk to the RAN host. The host will show you where you are to serve and what needs to be done. Enjoy time serving and visiting with people, then helping with taking down tables and cleaning up. Clean up is usually finished by 7:15pm.
Thank you for serving in this area.
