Weekly E-Blast June 8, 2023

JOIN US THIS WEEKEND!

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. 

If you or someone in your family is not feeling well, we encourage you to join us on Facebook or YouTube by using the links below.  

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. 

Due to the weather and timing, we will be working on some outdoor projects this evening at 6:30pm if you would like to join us, many hands make light work.  Come prepared with any of your favourite garden tools, gloves and old clothes. 

THIS SATURDAY

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.

We are seeking financial assistance from individuals who have a heart for the next generation. If you would like to contribute, above your regular giving or through a pledge, we would greatly appreciate it. Donations can be made through cash, cheque,
