Our Sunday School Project

Let's not forget about our Sunday School project. We are sending a box of supplies to a pastor and his family in the Philippines and we are a bit slow on bringing in things to fill that box. We have until the end of the month to get all the supplies to fill the box. Among the items needed are: towels, facecloths, soap, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, chocolate, spam type luncheon meat, cases or cans of stew (dollar store), pens, pencils, crayons, glue sticks, cans of hot chocolate, pancake mix, coffee whitener, peanut butter, mayo, nutella, sugar, spaghetti, macaroni, as well as little treats for the kids or pretty things for the girls for their hair, etc. You do not need to attend Sunday School; the money collected from Sunday School will be used in shipping the box and for monetary help but ANYBODY can bring in supplies and leave them in the boxes located in each Sunday School room. Let's get that box filled for this family that has so little.

Attention all Youth!

YAY! We are having another youth event! If you are in middle school or high school, we invite you to come out to the church on April 25th at 7:00 for fun, food (i think) and frivolity. Bring all your friends and your sense of humor and enjoy the fellowship of other youth as well as the hospitality of Doc Coleman and his lovely wife.

Irreplaceable

What is a family?  And does family still matter in this day and age?

Focus on the Family Canada presents the Pine Creek Entertainment documentary Irreplaceable, which seeks to address these fundamental questions. The documentary’s host Tim Sisarich travels the world to explore what “family” really means – and why it is so important to humanity.

Filled with insightful interviews from a diverse group of experts, this documentary highlights the passions, joys, tears and triumphs of the family, exploring the desire and design God has placed in each of us. Irreplaceable is a timely and provocative documentary that challenges viewers to take a closer look at their own families and to consider what can be done to make them stronger. It also offers a message of hope: that it is never too late to become a better father, mother, sister or brother.

"Irreplaceable" will only be shown in theatres on one night:  Wednesday May 7th at 7:30.   You can get tickets by going to www.cineplex.com and entering the name of the movie and our city.  You can also go to www.thefamilyproject.ca/irreplaceable for more information or to order tickets.

Easter Services

Here is some information on our Easter services:

Good Friday Service (April 18th) at 10:30:  Pastor Arden will be speaking on "The Crucifixion of Jesus"  Matthew 27:32-50.  We will also be observing communion.

Easter Sunday Service (April 20th):  We invite you to come rejoice with us on Easter Sunday.  We will be having a pancake breakfast that runs from 9:30 - 10:30 and then our service will begin at 11:00.  Please invite your friends, family, neighbors or that guy you see at the coffee shop every day but don't really know.

If you have been wondering what church is all about, if you have wanted to visit but have been afraid to walk through the doors, if you're hungry and alone and in need of a family, there is no better time to come to church than on Easter Sunday.  The glory of the Lord's love for us (YOU!) is never more apparent than on this day when we celebrate His triumphant victory over death and over sin.  We will feed you, we will make you a part of our family, we will show you a God that desires to be a part of your life.  We want to see you; please join us!

There will be NO Sunday School or potluck on Easter Sunday.
