A grateful heart is a joyful heart! Join us for a powerful message this Sunday entitled “The Joy of Gratitude,” as we discover how cultivating a spirit of thanksgiving transforms our perspective, strengthens our faith, and deepens our relationship with God. Gratitude is not just about thanking God for what He has done; it is about trusting Him for who He is, even when life is difficult. When we learn to count our blessings, remember His faithfulness, and praise Him in every season, we discover a joy that circumstances cannot take away. Come and be encouraged to live with a thankful heart and experience the joy that comes from recognizing God's goodness!

LAST SUNDAY TO GIVE YOUR THANKSGIVING LOVE OFFERING
We invite you to join us in honouring the Lord for His goodness in our lives over this past year by giving a sacrificial love offering to help us retire our mortgage for the glory of God! You can give it anytime in the month of October.
