Merry Christmas, Aaron, Laurence, Marci, Tyler, Joy and Nadine
On behalf of the Church Staff we want to extend to you and your family a very warm Christmas Greeting and blessing. It is a joy to serve a church such as ours and to watch God at work in the hearts and lives of the people here. Thank you for coming week after week to worship, to celebrate and to grow. Your generosity and love has impacted not only our church, but also our city as we strive to continue to be a Gospel Centered Community. We continue to pray that God will be very present and that in this season, you will know the wonder and majesty of our Saviour in fresh ways. We are excited about the year ahead and believe that God has great plans for our church family. May God bless you richly through out this season. We love you all. We have frozen cookie dough to be baked for Sunday morning coffee times. Please see Joy Huebert in the office, if you’re willing and able to bake up some cookies for us.
