Wednesday Night Prayer & Praise Meeting:
We are so pleased that the Lord has blessed us with very successful prayer meetings! The wall has been removed to make the room larger and we are back in business.
ALL ARE WELCOME!
Join us on Wednesday nights at 7pm at 82 Church St., for a time of prayer and some worship. We are so excited to see God moving on Wednesday nights so far! It is very encouraging and we would love to see you there.
Subsplash:
The replacement to Faithlife will be up and running on April 30th, 2023. In order to make it easier to load this application, please bring your tablets or smart phones on this day and after the service we will help you download this app. Bring your electronics to church on Sunday April 30th.
St. Francis Centre July and August:
God has answered our prayers once again! We have been informed that the renovations at the St. Francis Centre will result in minimal inconvenience. What this means, is that we do not have to rent the gym from the school behind us. WE WILL CONTINUE TO STAY WHERE WE ARE DURING THESE MONTHS. PTL!
Reflections:
"To make a difference in someone's life, you don't have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful or perfect. You just have to care!"
