The Fruitful Life
Everyone wants their lives to count for something … to bear fruit. But what kind of fruit are we talking about and why does it matter. In a world full of distractions and delusions, discover what it means to truly abide in Christ and live a life that overflows with purpose, impact, and spiritual abundance.
God’s desire isn’t just that we bear fruit—but that we bear more fruit… and ultimately, much fruit. We will discover the role pruning plays in this process. Together we will learn how rewarding it is to live a fruitful life for the glory of God.
It's also Missions Sunday so please plan to bring an offering towards missions. Guest missionary Jason Cornelius will be with us to briefly share about his world-wide ministry with Global Ed.
Also note our Wednesday Worship & Prayer Service is currently on a summer break for the month of August. We will see you again on September 10.

From Roots To Fruits
Every tree that bears fruit first grows unseen roots. In the same way, God often works in the quiet, hidden seasons of our lives to prepare us for the visible fruit He wants to produce.
Join us this Sunday for a powerful message titled “From Roots to Fruit” as we explore what it means to grow through the spiritual seasons — from the slow, silent rooting seasons to the fruitful, flourishing ones.
“They will be like a tree planted by the water... it does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” – Jeremiah 17:8
Whether you’re feeling buried, dry, or finally seeing breakthrough, this message will remind you that every season has a purpose, and God is growing something in you — even when you can’t see it yet.
We will also be having a number of personal testimonies of God’s provisions, protection and healing! These stories will cause your spirit to soar and build your faith and trust in God!

Soil Check
Is your heart ready to grow?
In Jesus’ Parable of the Sower, He speaks about four different types of soil — but really, He's talking about the condition of our hearts. This Sunday, we're asking a crucial question: What kind of soil are you? Whether you're feeling spiritually dry, overwhelmed with distractions, or hungry for deeper growth, this message will challenge and encourage you to take a closer look at your soul's condition. Join us as we break down: the hardened heart, the shallow heart, the crowded heart, the fruitful heart. And discover how you can prepare your heart to receive God’s Word — and bear lasting fruit. Come expectant. Leave transformed. Let’s do a Soil Check.
It's also Communion Sunday so please pick-up your personal elements upon entry into service.

The Garden Of Your Life
Have you ever felt like you’re being pruned, stretched, or planted in unfamiliar soil?

Trusting God's Sovereignty
So many times we take a look at our city, our Country, our world and we are perplexed. We ask many questions when we observe things that do not make any sense! We look at society, we look at our own lives and we ask, Why? In the book of Habakkuk, the prophet was also perplexed by what he saw taking place around him. In his zeal for God, he was also asking many questions.
This Sunday we invite you to join us as we delve into the topic "Trusting God's Sovereignty." We will see how the man of God gets some of his questions answered and learns to trust even in the midst of darkness.
Please join us this Sunday as we worship the Lord and enjoy His wonderful presence.
Looking forward to seeing you.

We Are Citizens of Heaven!
Aww - The Pride of Citizenship!
Two weeks ago we had the celebration of Nations – and what a celebration it was! – wow, exciting – the food, the clothes/colors – the music and the dance – people laughing, sharing and eating – 54 Nations represented in our church family and growing – when pastor Russell called the names of the countries, the cheers, the roaring of the saints in the sanctuary – I thought I was at a sporting event!
The Pride of the Nations!
There was one more celebrations – On Tuesday we celebrated Canada Day – festivities and events were planned throughout the day – flag waving and red and white colors were seen all over the country – we are Canadians – jubilation and excitement filled the air!
The Pride of a nation!
In our text for Sunday, Paul states, But we are citizen of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for Him to return as our Savior.
As Christians, we are Citizens not only here on earth but our citizenship is in heaven. What a profound thought!
We invite you to come on Sunday as we unpack this profound truth and its implications for us as Christians.

Easter Series: ‘Hope In the Cross and Resurrection’

Easter Series: 'Hope In the Shadows'
Life can often feel like a series of highs and lows — moments of joy and clarity, but also seasons of confusion, difficulty, and pain. In these darker times, when we feel overshadowed by sorrow, fear, or uncertainty, it can be hard to find our way. Yet, Scripture reminds us that even when we feel like we are ‘living in the shadows’, we are not alone God’s presence, promises, and purposes remain steadfast, even in the midst of our struggles.
As Holy Week begins this weekend, also known as the Passion Week of Christ we will explore what it meant for people to live in the shadows during the final week of Christ’s like on earth. The people of Jerusalem were waiting for a king — but perhaps not the kind of king that was arriving. The hope they placed in Jesus was real, but it was also shaped by their expectations and understanding of what the Messiah would be.
Join us this Palm Sunday, as we will take a deeper look at Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. A day filled with joy, anticipation, and yes even hope. ‘The Hope of the Arriving King’ who arrived not only then but still does today.

Their mission is to passionately respond to the practical needs of people living in poverty and crisis around the world. Through three main areas of work - child sponsorship; community development; and crisis response, they have seen how bringing several solutions to a community creates lasting change. When we provide parents with job opportunities, help them send their children to school, bring the family extra food and provide clean water to the community, their lives change! Come and hear about the amazing impact of ERDO this Sunday and learn how you can join in making a difference in people’s lives.
PLEASE PRAY … for Pastor Shamoon’s missions trip to Pakistan and for his journey home next week … and the missions team under Pastor Kim’s leadership, that is leaving next week for Tanzania from March 27-April 6 to minister to the children.
