Finding Freedom In Your Relationships

Relationships are meant to be places of love, support, and growth—but for many people, they become sources of pain, bondage, and frustration. Unforgiveness, broken trust, unhealthy expectations, and unresolved conflict can quietly imprison our hearts.

God’s desire is not just to heal us personally, but to bring freedom and restoration into the way we relate to others.  In this powerful and practical message, Finding Freedom in Your Relationships, we will discover how Jesus brings healing to wounded hearts, teaches us to forgive, and empowers us to walk in love, wisdom, and healthy boundaries. Through God’s Word, you’ll learn how to break free from cycles that drain your joy and step into relationships marked by peace, grace, and purpose.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, strained, or burdened in your relationships, this message is for you. Come expecting God to renew your heart, restore hope, and lead you into the freedom He designed for every relationship in your life.

Finding Financial Freedom

Money was never meant to control our lives—God was. Join us for a powerful and practical message on Finding Financial Freedom, where we’ll discover how biblical giving is not about pressure, but about trust, obedience, and freedom. Learn how putting God first in your finances breaks fear, releases blessing, and aligns your life with His purpose. If you’ve ever felt stress, anxiety, or uncertainty about money, this message will encourage you and point you toward God’s way of lasting freedom.

February is Black History Month and in this weekend’s service, we will be honouring the life and ministry of Ron Kenoly and his valuable contribution to worship music.  

It is Missions Sunday, so you will hear all that God is doing around the world.  Please plan to designate an offering to support our missionaries and their endeavours around the world.

The Miracle of the Mission

The Christmas story is one filled with miracles — the miracle of timing of Christ’s birth, the miracle of the message of His purpose in coming, and  the miracle of God coming near to us. But there is one more miracle we cannot overlook: the miracle of the mission.

The Christmas story didn’t end at the manger—it started there. The birth of Jesus launched a mission that has shaped history for over two thousand and twenty-five years.  From Bethlehem to today, God has been drawing people to His Son. And the miracle is this: He invites us—ordinary people—into that mission. Christmas isn’t just a story of what happened once it’s a story of what God is still doing.  Learn more about it this Sunday!

IT’S ALSO MISSIONS SUNDAY, featuring a testimony from Pastor Shamoon about his missions trip to Pakistan this year.  We encourage you to include an offering towards missions and to mark your envelope accordingly.  Please note this Sunday and New Year’s Eve will be the final opportunities for financial giving in 2025.

NO PASTOR’S CHAT for the next two Sundays (Dec 28 & Jan 4) as we take a holiday break.

START THE NEW YEAR IN WORSHIP!  Step into the New Year with a powerful night of praise, hope, and renewal at our New Year’s Worship Concert featuring John Wilds and his team. As we leave the old behind and look ahead with faith, this special evening will be filled with uplifting worship, inspiring moments, and an atmosphere where hearts are refreshed and faith is strengthened.  Bring your friends and family and celebrate the start of the year by lifting the name of Jesus together. Let this be more than a concert—make it a spiritual marker for the year ahead. Tickets are limited ($25)—purchase yours today and secure your spot!

Don’t miss this unforgettable night of worship as we begin the New Year in God’s presence!

The Miracle of the Moment

You’re invited to join us for a joyful and powerful new December Christmas Message series called ‘The Miracles of Christmas’. This Sunday, we launch by exploring The Miracle of the Moment, a powerful reminder that God moves with precision and purpose. 

Christmas didn’t begin with chaos—it began with perfect timing.  From ancient prophecies to a Roman census, from a dusty road to a humble stable, God was orchestrating every detail to bring His Son into the world “at just the right time” (Gal. 4:4–5). In a season that often feels hurried and behind schedule, discover how the birth of Jesus reveals that God is never late, never early—always right on time. Whether you’re waiting, wondering, or weary, come be encouraged by the truth that the same God who perfectly timed Bethlehem is perfectly timing your life. Don’t miss Part 1 of our Christmas series—hope arrives right on time!

Building Fund Sunday is also this Sunday, so come ready to give an offering to help us retire our mortgage.  We will share an exciting update about our recent refinancing!

Pastor’s Chat, Sunday, 8pm - ‘When God Says, “Delay No Longer’ (Revelation 10) – Join us for a captivating Bible lesson as we witness the appearance of the mighty angel, the little scroll, and the powerful message John is commissioned to proclaim.  We’ll uncover the meaning behind the angel wrapped in cloud and crowned with a rainbow; the significance of the seven thunders; why John was told to eat the scroll—and what it means for believers today; the ongoing mission of God’s people in a world longing for truth.

Remembering God’s Faith

The month of October is going to be a season of gratitude, not for just a day, but for the entire month! As we enter this season of giving thanks, it’s easy to focus on what we have—or what we lack—in the moment. But God’s Word calls us to something deeper: to remember. This week’s message, “Remembering God’s Faithfulness” invites us to pause, look back, and reflect on the goodness of God through every high and low.

Through powerful Scriptures we’ll discover how remembering is more than nostalgia—it’s a spiritual practice that fuels gratitude, builds faith, and gives us hope for the future.

Don’t miss this heartfelt message full of biblical truth that remind us that God has been faithful—and will be again. Come ready to remember. Come ready to give thanks! Buy your Prayer Journal at the Welcome Centre ($10) and write down one thing that you are grateful everyday in October. Then on the last day of October we will come together to celebrate the goodness of God!

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD SHOEBOXES will be available for this Sunday. Experience the joy of preparing the only tangible gift a child will receive this Christmas somewhere around the world.

2025 NUMBERED OFFERING ENVELOPES can be ordered throughout October. Please sign-up at the Welcome Centre.

This Is War

This isn’t a game. This isn’t a drill.  This is war.

This Sunday, join us for a powerful and eye-opening message titled “THIS IS WAR”, where we expose the real battle every believer is facing — a battle not against people, politics, or circumstances, but against spiritual forces of darkness that are working overtime to destroy your purpose, your peace, and your faith.

Ephesians 6:10–12

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood..."

In this message, you’ll discover:

  • The unseen war raging around you every day

  • Why your strength alone isn’t enough

  • What it really means to wear the armor of God

  • How to stand firm when the enemy comes for your mind, your family, and your calling.

You were not meant to live defeated. You were called to fight — not with fear, but with faith, the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. It’s time to stop being surprised by the struggle and start standing in victory.

The Battle Cry

When soldiers go out to fight their enemy, the sound that is often heard is a "battle cry" that unites them in their goal of taking on the enemy. At this time in history, I believe we are in a war for the hearts, minds and souls of our young people. There are so many voices speaking to them - which voice is right? Which direction should they take? I invite you to join us this Sunday morning for the message, "The Battle Cry".

This will be a message looking at some of the challenges that young people are facing today as they have gone back to school. We will also look at some of the ways that we as families and the church can offer practical help to our students as they face certain trials in our school systems. This message will also set the stage for our Prayer and Anointing Service that will take place Friday evening September 26th at 6:30 pm. We are looking forward to seeing you as we worship the Lord and delve into His word together!

OCTOBER – A MONTH OF THANKSGIVING

Declaring War On Spiritual Drift

Spiritual drift happens … if you’re not paying attention. Have you ever looked up and realized you were farther from God than you ever intended to be? Spiritual drift doesn’t start with rebellion—it starts with neglect. With distraction. With apathy. With busyness that drowns out the voice of God. But the writer of Hebrews gives us a wake-up call: Hebrews 2:1 (NLT) … “So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it.”

This Sunday, we’re not just acknowledging the danger—we’re declaring war on it. Join us as we unpack what spiritual drift really looks like in today’s culture; why it happens even to the most faithful believers; how to fight drift with spiritual discipline and devotion; practical tools to anchor your soul in Jesus daily.

No more drifting. No more coasting. It’s time to realign, refocus, and re-anchor your life in Christ. This is your call to arms. Declare war on spiritual drift—and win. Don’t come alone—bring someone who needs to be pulled back to the anchor of hope.

It’s also Communion Sunday, so join us as we gather as family to celebrate what Christ has done for us on the cross.

Keep It Moving

I am sure things are on the move in your household these day as you get back into the routine and schedule of work and school. There is nothing like the Fall season to get us all moving again!  We have been praying for you and your family.

But maybe your feeling stuck. Overwhelmed by distractions, worries, or uncertainty.
It’s easy to get caught chasing after everything but what truly matters. But in Matthew 6:33, Jesus gives us a clear instruction — Seek first the Kingdom. When you do you will move past worry, beyond fear and forward in faith.
This week’s message, “Keep It Moving,” will be a powerful reminder that progress comes not from striving, but from seeking. When we prioritize God’s presence, His purpose, and His righteousness, everything else begins to align.

Join us this Sunday as we learn how to reclaim our focus in a distracted world and walk in spiritual alignment and purpose. To keep moving forward. Come expecting and ready to keep moving towards the life God has for you.

It’s Building Fund Sunday, so we encourage you to bring a special offering over/above your tithe to help us retire our mortgage.  We will be providing an update on our progress too!

Next Week is our Fall kick-off, so plan to engage with our Prayer Meetings, LifeGroups, and Midweek Worship & Prayer Services!  We look forward to seeing you!
