A Magnificent Breath

In the opening paragraphs of W.O. Mitchell's, Who Has Seen the Wind, the author describes the Saskatchewan prairie as being in anticipation, "as though a magnificent breath were being held" (p 3). This Sunday we anticipate the expelling of a magnificent breath - the power of the Holy Spirit as we celebrate Pentecost. God speaks to us today, and through the power of the Holy Spirit we can expect the church to be strengthened and encouraged (Act 9:31). Sunday, May 27, 10 a.m.

Defense lawyers

Over the last few weeks, Canadians have been hearing the horrific details around the kidnapping and murder of a little 8 year old. We wonder what kind of lawyer would be willing to speak in defense of the perpetrator of such a crime. Then we read a passage like I John 2:2 where we are told that Jesus is now in heaven where he is speaking to the Father in our defense. Jesus is doing that for us. Us - guilty of sin, deserving of death. And Jesus steps up to defend us. Humbling, amazing, and worth celebrating. Happy Ascension Day! We celebrate together on Sunday, May 20, at 10 a.m.

The new roof

The church's one foundation will always be Jesus Christ her Lord. But at some point the roof will need to be replaced. Our new roof comes with a really long guarantee - we expect to be here for many years to come!

Supermom!

The Book of Proverbs concludes with a detailed list of traits that characterize “the wife of noble character.” I’m not sure that even SuperWoman could live up to a check list like this! But this passage isn’t a check list at all; it’s a description of how God sees us when we follow Jesus. When we follow Jesus, God sees beautiful women, men and children who bear his image – he counts US worthy of HIS praise! Join us this Mother's Day, May 13 at 10:00 a.m.

Operation Manna

Operation Manna, along with Operation Chowhound took place at the end of WWII, from April 29 - May 8 1945. A total of 11,000 tons of food was dropped on the yet unliberated parts of Europe to help feed civilians who were in danger of starvation in the Dutch famine. Operation Manna could also be the name of God's rescue plan. His operation includes rescuing us from our daily troubles but also from certain annihilation. His Operation Manna was deployed years ago and is still a success today. This Sunday our offering is for Operation Manna, a program which offers relief for those in need. It's one part of God’s much larger operation.
