Announcements

While our in-person activities are suspended, there are still several ways to stay connected to the church!

• Bible study sessions on Mondays will continue with Pastor Cal via Zoom. If you are interested in participating, please contact Pastor Cal to receive instructions on how to connect.

• In lieu of worship services, Pastor Cal will be posting weekly videos of mini-services, which will include some prayers, a scripture reading, and a sermon/meditation. Check out our Sermons & Prayers page each week for his latest video!

• For church members, your elder should be in contact with you to see how you are doing. For those of you who aren't members, please feel free to reach out to us if you are in need of someone to talk to - we are happy to arrange a call!

If you would like to join the Emmaus Group  please talk to Jim, Lindy, Les, Sandy, Barb or Ian.  We would love to  have your input.  If you would like to donate to the Emmaus Group outreach programs, you can do so through your envelopes – “Other” –  “Emmaus”.  Thank you for your prayers and support in reaching out to our  neighbours. 

They practice on Saturday morning from  10:00am – 12:00pm.  Their performances for the public are during the Christmas season on Saturday afternoons and during May, also on Saturday  afternoons.  The only requirement is that you read music beyond a  beginning level.  Handbell ringing experience is not required as we will  teach technique in context with the music we are playing.  We also play in some church services. Please contact Alma at atomei@shaw.ca if you  are interested in joining! 

Do you love to sing? Our choir is searching for more singers.  We sing traditional to contemporary, and  practices are Thursday evenings from 7:30om to 9:00pm. The choir sings in the service every Sunday at 10:30am. Please contact Alma at  atomei@shaw.ca if you are interested in joining! 

In the past, we participated in the lunch  program of the Society on Homelessness. The Society has changed their  focus - instead of lunches, they are now offering nutritious snacks to the same people. Since they have changed their program, any money that was in the lunch program, or any future donations will now be forwarded  to the Health Snacks Program of the Society on Homelessness. 

This month, one of our members volunteered some of her time to help the church by doing one of the little jobs around the church, the pew shelves are much cleaner now. Throughout the year, there are other little jobs that need done. Some jobs only need to  be done once (20 minutes), while others need to be done 5-6 times (10  minutes) throughout the year.   If you have some time and can help out, speak to Cal and he will arrange a time with you. 

Throughout the year, you may wish to  remember a day that is special or memorable for your family. If you wish to share this with your church family and bring in your own flowers, GREAT! Or if you would like, Rose Pals will look after it for you. In either case, please let Rose know. She can be reached by phoning her at  home at 604-536-9550. We thank Rose for her ministry.
