Thankful in Spite of It All
What do you do when life doesn’t turn out the way you expected? When prayers seem unanswered, circumstances become difficult, and you struggle to understand what God is doing? John the Baptist faced his own season of uncertainty while imprisoned, yet Jesus reminded him of the evidence of God’s continuing work. Join us as we discover how to maintain a thankful heart even in life’s most challenging seasons. Our thanksgiving is not determined by our circumstances, but by the unchanging goodness and faithfulness of God! Come and be encouraged to trust Him, praise Him, and remain THANKFUL IN SPITE OF IT ALL!
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.
