We look forward to being together on Sunday! Every Sunday is a little different and this week we look forward to engaging in worship with our New Wine Worship team, sharing Communion together and engaging in a message from our Teaching Team.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: 

Our service begins at 10:00 am. Pre-Service Prayer for the service is open to anyone who would like to attend. Join us from 9:30 - 9:50 am on Sundays.

We welcome you to our Sunday Celebration In-Person at Centre 150. 

PRAYER AND WORSHIP

Centre 150 is open Thursdays, from 9:00-12:00 pm as a special space for spending time with the Lord. From 9:00-10:00 am we will have a time of interactive prayer and live worship. From 10:00 - Noon we will have music only. 

POSTPONED!

Due to the forecast predicting rain on Saturday, we regret to inform you that our scheduled spring cleaning day will be postponed. We will provide an update soon with the rescheduled date. Thank you for your understanding.

In honour of Father's Day, the Men's Breakfast on June 10th will be held at 10 am instead of the usual 8:00 am. And guess what? We're switching things up and serving a scrumptious BBQ lunch instead of the regular breakfast. We're super excited to have Samuel Stretch share some words with us. 

We'll have a bunch of fun yard games like washer toss, corn hole, crochet, bocce ball, frisbee, and more. However, the highlight of the day will undoubtedly be our very first Annual Egg Throwing Contest, where we'll even award a trophy to the winner. A donation of $10/per family is requested. 

Fathers, come with your sons, and sons, come with your fathers.

KIDS CHURCH

Our curriculum, "The Blood of Jesus," covers topics such as the significance of blood, types and shadows, healing, the Most Holy Place, the High Priest, and the Communion Table. 

Each lesson may take two or more weeks to cover and includes additional scriptures to add more depth to each subject area. If your child is ill, please wait until they are feeling better.

Once $50 - $100 is raised. The children in our large group will decide on one charity choice to bless with their money.  In the past, we were able to give to local or international missions. Remember this" Collection"  is totally optional.
