2025-11-29 09:00 - 15:00
Saturday November 29TH, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm Location: Good Sheperd Parish in Surrey.
God, the Master Weaver invites us to see our lives as part of a divine tapestry. God holds every thread, weaving both His perfect will and His permissive will into a design we often cannot see. Through scriptural examples like Joseph and Jonah, we discover how even our mistakes and detours can become part of something greater when we surrender them to God. In a culture that promotes self-determination, this talk challenges us to trust the Weaver, embrace our imperfections, and believe that every thread—bright or dark—has purpose. Join us to reflect, discuss, and rediscover the beauty of God’s handiwork in your own life.
