Family Feast
Join Us on May 19 for an International Family Feast!
We’re so excited about this month’s family feast, with an international twist!
Q: Why are we emphasizing the international theme? May 19 is Pentecost Sunday, so it seems like a wonderful way to recognize this significant date of the birth of the church (Acts 2) and celebrate the many new faces from around the world that we continue to welcome into our local church family.
The instructions are a little different for this month (if you have seen Angela’s awesome video on how the feasts normally work), so here’s what you need to know for next Sunday:
Bring a dish to share that either celebrates your cultural background or an international dish that you just really like to make or eat…don’t forget that
Canada has its own culture too!
We will not be using the alphabet system; there are sign-up sheets on the board in the vestry for you to put down what you are interested in bringing so we can get an idea of how much to expect for mains, sides, and desserts.
There will be cards available to identify your dish; please tell us what your dish is called and where it originates from.
So come join us on Sunday, May 19, for a beautiful time of food and fellowship.
We hope to see you there!

Prayer Summit
The Prayer Summit has been rescheduled for February 17, 9 am - 12 pm, where we will compile all of the insights and words from God from our praying throughout the month and seek to discern together what God is saying to our church for the year ahead. This is a key moment in the life of our church each year. We would like to share a potluck lunch afterward of sandwiches and sweets. If your last name begins with the letter A-N, please bring sandwiches, and letter O-Z, please bring sweets.
Soup Lunch
Sunday after the worship service we will be celebrating the conclusion of the Month of Prayer and Fasting with a soup lunch. As part of this soup lunch, we will be celebrating the Lord's Supper and celebrating Tim Prosser who will be headed out at the end of February to Calgary to compete in cross-country skiing at the Special Olympics. We will also be receiving a free-will offering that will go towards the youth trip to One Con in Moncton later in the spring.
Prayer Summit
On February 3, from 9 am to 12:00 pm, we will hold a special prayer summit where we will compile all of the insights and words from God from our praying throughout the month and seek to discern together what God is saying to our church for the year ahead. This is a key moment in the life of our church each year.
