Greetings, Church! We would love to see you on Sunday and have one of our friendly ushers hand you a bulletin! But even when we are allowed to gather together in person, it will probably be awhile before we hand out printed bulletins! In the meantime, here are some items to note for information and prayer...

MISSIONARY OF THE WEEK

Graeme & Sarena Rattray (Kyra, Connor) serving with EFCCM (temporarily based in Edmonton) Pray for: 

  • Graeme and Sarena's Thai friends who have lost their jobs due to the COVID-19 outbreak and who were already struggling financially; they are new believers whom the Rattrays have been encouraging to continue to trust that Jesus will provide for them
  • Their adjustments to being back in Canada and for their support-raising
  • Kyra & Nolan as they plan for their wedding in July

OPPORTUNITIES TO GIVE

For 2020, you can donate HERE until Father's Day (donations above $25 will receive a tax receipt).
