We have entered the season of Lent in the Church. Lent began today (Ash Wednesday) and goes through to Thursday, March 29 (Maundy Thursday). It leads us with Christ to the night he was betrayed. During this time we’re encouraged to: give up, give to, gain from. Give up (fasting): food, certain comforts, media, etc. Give to: blessing those with need. Gain from: sustained in our time spent walking with Jesus. The Apostle Paul said in Philippians, “I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.” (Phil. 3:10-11)

Life Groups are starting
Hi everyone! By now you should have received an email from your Life Group leader(s) about tonight. We are back on with Life Groups. If you aren’t a part of a part of a Life Group or want to know more about what Life Groups are, just ask! Most of our church family are a part of one and can fill you in, so… ask away! We’re looking forward to seeing our groups again!

Kidz Company: We’re Back!
It’s September again. That means school, cooler weather, and… Kidz Company! That’s right, we’re back! If you (or your kids) are in grade 1-6, your Thursday nights could be a lot more exciting. Games, crafts and stories! Adventures, learning and excitement! Kidz Company is a night you and your friends won’t want to miss!
Sunday, August 6
Celebration won’t be at the LC this week! It’s be a blessing Sunday! What does that mean? Well, we have a whole team up blessing the youth at Stayner Camp, and want to release everyone else to be a blessing wherever you are this Sunday. Visit another church…have neighbours over…go for a good walk…be a blessing to someone else.
