How did your first week of September go? We were praying you and your family as you worked to settle your children back into school. This was an exciting week for us as we welcomed Pastor Kim back to ministry! She has been on short-term disability while recovering from her brain tumour surgery. We thank the Lord for His healing hand upon her body and life!
As we enter this Fall season, our mission as a church has never changed but actually become even more focused for us than ever before. As we shared in last Sunday’s service, our calling is to ‘make disciples’ and help people become fully devoted followers of Christ by fulfilling His five purposes for their lives. We will move forward with a hybrid church approach that will provide in-person and online gatherings in order to facilitate your connection with God and people, your spiritual growth, your opportunities to serve, and your mission to our world that so desperately needs Christ.
This Fall we will be restarting some of our in-house ministry gatherings while continuing to offer our online ministries. We are going to focus first on Sunday ministries and then our mid-week ministries. This is going to take a fresh commitment from all our volunteers, so we encourage you to respond to various emails and calls you will be receiving from staff and ministry leaders who will be seeking your support to be scheduled to serve. Let’s come together using our spiritual gifts, talents and abilities to serve one another and invest in our spiritual growth and development to reach people for Christ! Please stay tuned to these emails for further details on all our Fall ministry plans.
Take a moment right now to register and join us in person for worship and a message about Our Wounded Healer followed by Communion. We look for to your presence with us in person or online this weekend!
Every Blessing,
Pastor Barry Risto
Lead Pastor
