Baptism Service - We will be having a baptism service on June 11th. There will be no Sunday School and the service will start at 10am. Please pray for our baptism candidates: Hanna Doerksen, Chloe Dyck, Ben Friesen, Aaron Friesen, Dillon Toews, Elena Toews and Jacob Wiebe.
"Day of Prayer for Camp 2023" is coming up on Sunday, May 28th. We appreciate your church's prayer support and understand that it goes above and beyond one specific day. However, we see this as a unique opportunity for believers and local churches to partner together with others from across the country to pray specifically for the needs and the ministry of Bible Camps this summer.
Sunday School Picnic - We will once again have our annual Church Picnic, June 4 and you are all invited to come. If you would like to contribute a food item, or help with the meal in some other way, there are sign up sheets in the foyer. The picnic will be held here at the church right after the morning service. Bring your lawn chairs and picnic blankets. There will also be activites for all, or most ages after the meal.
Hope's Journey Home Fundraiser - We are excited to be starting our 2nd annual bottle drive which will again be running from Mother's day until Father's day. For anyone wanting to take part in this event, bottles have been provided for your congregation to pick up. Last year this event brought in over $10,000 toward phase one of this building project. The funds raised this year from the bottle drive will be going to phase two of the project. At this point we are ready to break ground, build the basement and enclose the building. This looks like it could happen within the next couple of weeks. Phase two will consist of wiring, plumbing, cabinets, flooring, etc. We are extremely grateful for the prayers, and funds we have received thus far. As we continue to move forward we would ask that you continue to uphold us in prayer, as there is much wisdom needed in moving forward to phase two and then completion and opening of this home. It has been amazing to see how God has been directing and bringing new people into our lives, that also believe in the sanctity of life and have a desire to make a difference. God bless each one who has had a part in any way of helping bring this home to a reality. On behalf of HOpes Journey Home, Thank you so much!
