Thank you Wilma Lubberts for the Evangelism Committee.

ATTENTION! To all group leaders or anyone who locks up the church building after a function. Please take the time to double check that the front doors are latched properly before you leave. Even though the doors are locked, they don’t always close all the way. Thank you for your consideration.

Kits 4 Kids Kenya ~ It’s about kids helping kids! This November, our Grades 1 - 6 children will join thousands of kids across Canada to show Christ’s love to children in Kenya! Kits 4 Kids is an annual program run by Kingdom Children that teaches our children about their duty to serve others within their own community and around the world. Our kids will have five weeks to earn ten toonies by completing ten acts of service for their friends, family, neighbours, and you. As a congregation, let’s challenge them, encourage them, and have fun! The toonies they earn through their hard work will be used to teach at-risk children in Kenya about the Bible, agriculture, health, life, and more. The needs in Africa are great, but through Him, we can do great things! Thank-you for helping us equip these children for a lifetime of Kingdom service.
