Christmas Services – Dec 24 & 25
Come one, come all to our Christmas services this year! We are so excited to celebrate Christmas with you. You’re invited to Christmas Eve on Sunday morning at 10AM for a story telling service with New Life Kids. We will explore what it means that the light has come and with that have a candle lighting. There will be no evening service on Dec 24. On Monday morning, Christmas Day, at 10AM, celebrate with us Jesus’ birth. We have a big choir and we’ll spend the morning singing and celebrating together. Both these services are wonderful times to invite a neighbor, a friend, or family. We hope you see there!
Celebrate with us this Christmas.

Women’s Retreat – Nov 24-26
Registration is open for our 2023 Women’s Retreat!
On November 24-26 we are having another women’s retreat at Stillwood Camp and Conference Centre. We are scheduled to arrive at 7pm on Friday, November 24 and leave at 1pm on Sunday, November 26.
Our theme for the weekend is Immeasurably More. We will be exploring Ephesians 3:20-21 together and learning what it means live in and ask for the “more” that we are promised in Scripture and how to understand when God doesn’t deliver the way we expected Him to.
We will be led in three sessions by Melissa McVety. Melissa and her husband have a marriage and family counselling ministry together and received her Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy through Trinity Western University. She is a gifted speaker and is excited to explore God’s promise of immeasurably more with us over the weekend!
All women are welcome, no matter what church you attend. The cost will be $200. This includes two nights at Stillwood, all the meals and some goodies that we are preparing for you! Single rooms are available for an extra fee, if needed.
You can pay with cash or cheque in person, or etransfer to [email protected] and write Women’s Retreat in the memo line.
If finances are a factor for you in whether you can attend or not, please do no hesitate to reach out as we do not want that to be the reason you can’t come.
Registration closes October 31, 2023.
