Would you like some help using Zoom?If you are find learning to use Zoom a bit daunting and could do with some practice or coaching, Lucy, our Community Catalyst is here to help! Until we can be together again, we want to do all we can to prevent any tech issues from being a barrier to community and connection - especially for our upcoming Special General Meetings. Did you know if you don't have access to Zoom on a smartphone, tablet or computer, you can still join our meetings by phone call? Lucy is happy to arrange a call for Zoom support any time before 10AM on Sunday. If you think this might be helpful to you, please drop her an email at office@lambrick.com |

A Dialogue on Women in Leadership from Saanichton Bible FellowshipYou might be aware that, after a season of congregational conversation and study, the Elders of SBF (Lambrick's sister church in Saanichton) recently made the decision to open the door to women serving alongside of men on the Board of Elders (they use the term Leadership Team). This has just recently been announced.
As a part of their congregational process, two of their elders prepared and presented a "dialogue on women in leadership" - that explores the two different interpretations on what the Bible says on the topic.
As we move toward our May 16th vote on this matter in the life of Lambrick, we share this video as a resource for better understanding something of the diversity that leads people to different conclusions on this matter. This dialogue also furthers the claim that this conversation is not primarily about biblical authority, but biblical interpretation.
We'd recommend watching this video with a friend or family member, and pausing after each section to discuss.
