Welcome to Sunday Online at Encounter Vineyard this weekend and thank you for joining us. We are so looking forward to worshipping together again today.

This Sunday we are drawing our early summer series ‘Rhythms’ to a close. In this series we have been reflecting on how there are rhythms all around us – rhythms in creation and nature, as well as the rhythms that we create in our own lives.

So far, we have explored the rhythms of intentionally studying scripture, listening to God, living with gratitude and thankfulness, growing in prayer and this weekend Mark will be bringing a message on the ancient and early church rhythm of fasting. In this message Mark will be exploring why we fast as believers and how it helps us deepen our relationship with God.

Next week we start a new series called ‘Framing Life.’

We hope that you enjoy worshipping and celebrating with us today and, we pray that today would be a blessing for us all.
