The Friend - Morning

Vision
Upcoming
Sermons
11 am & 2 pm service
We are a Bible-centred
church that exists to bring
glory to God. We believe
what the Bible says – that
it is God’s perfect word to
us. We seek to teach from
His Word faithfully so that
every member will build a
deep and lasting personal
relationship with our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ
and be equipped to share
the Good News of God’s
free salvation to everyone.
It is our mission to love
one another passionately,
serve selflessly and reach
out lovingly so that those
who are far away from
God may find new life in
Jesus.

There are twelve steps up into Lygon Street
Church of Christ. He named the two top steps
Charles and Olive. Each week Pastor Taylor
wrote a story about these steps having a
conversation with each other. They were friends.
Their talks were to bring spiritual
encouragement to the readers.
These stories were
distributed to the
congregation
in ‘The Friend.’
