by Caleb Wheatley: This weekend for a fathers Day treat Bayside hosted a number of Specialty vehicles before the service. Over recent years car manufacturers have been marking their cars with different symbols for the owner to seek out. God's creation is all around us, at some point in every person's life we will be faced with the question who is God? Can he be known? How do I seek him out. The greater narrative of the bible is such that God the father can be found and wants to walk with us in life and has made a way for this through Jesus Christ resulting in the greatest “easter” egg of all time. Key Scriptures Psalm 139:13-14
