Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.

Setup Team Volunteers Needed
We occasionally need chairs and tables moved for different events and are looking for volunteers to help with this. The work is usually on Sunday around 9:30am and then again around 12pm but there are other days as well. If you can help, please email office@pachurch.ca
Foyer Renovation Still In Progress
Progress is being made! Obviously there are major differences in the foyer at this point, but please be aware that the job is not complete. There is a long list of tasks still to be completed, such as lighting and finishing. In the meantime it will not look completed, because it isn’t. But we can enjoy having the use of our foyer back! Thank you to all the hard work our volunteers (and contractors) have put in!

Sunday, March 8, 2026
1. How does Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana illustrate the abundance and joy of God’s kingdom compared to the old ways?
2. What might the imagery of wine and wineskins suggest about the newness of God’s kingdom versus traditional religious practices?
