ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • Advent 2023: Advent Study: The Way of Love (Final Study!) on December 12th @ 7 PM in the Bonis Room.
  • Healing Prayer & Anointing: As Christians we are called to be whole in body, mind and spirit. Through Christ, we are enabled to minister to one another, especially in the midst of our community. Healing prayer and anointing will be available to you at today’s service during the time of communion.  If you wish to receive anointing, please take your communion and proceed over to the south transept where a member of our healing team will pray over you.
  • All prayer is kept confidential and private.  God bless you as you receive!
  • End of Year Gifts: Your financial gifts and offerings throughout the year are always most gratefully received! For 2023 income tax purposes, please ensure that all financial contributions are received at the church office no later than 11:00am on Sunday, December 31, 2023!  Thank you!
  • The Advent Giving Tree: The outreach Committee invites you to help those in need in our community. In a time of high costs, low wages and lingering inflation the need is greater than ever. As just one example, over 800,000 people needed to go to a food bank this past year and 40% were first time users. There are 3 types of gift suggestions on the tree this year.
    1. Gift cards, especially grocery gift cards, offering people the dignity of shopping for themselves.
    2. Items for the increasing number of homeless men and women in our community: warm socks, warm gloves, small-sized (travel/purse size) toiletries, long-sleeved t -shirts.
    3. Help provide clean drinking water for an Aboriginal community. 
  • End of Year Giving - Your offering throughout the year is always most gratefully received! For 2023 income tax purposes, please ensure that financial contributions are received at the church no later than 11:00am on Sunday, December 31, 2023.
