It is almost unbelievable that we have come this far in 2023! In just one month, we will welcome Rev. Tim Busse as our new Lead Pastor. We give praise and thanksgiving to Holy Spirit for his work in our midst. Psalm 133 states “How good and pleasant it is when brothers and sisters live together in harmony! For there, the Lord has appointed the blessing – life forevermore.”

We were encouraged by the increased attendance at our Annual General Meeting on September 24, 2023. We thank God for how you have supported and prayed for the Board and Staff this transition year. As we begin a new church calendar year, your Board of Elders will endeavor to keep the vision and direction of Living Hope, maintain diligent financial stewardship, and uphold Biblical beliefs and practices.

The Board met on September 26 for an organizational meeting. Appointments were made as follows:
Board Chair                            Wayne Bernakevitch
Interim Lead Pastor               Al Fedorak
Lead Pastor/Vice-Chair        Tim Busse – effective November 1, 2023

As our Interim Lead Pastor, Al Fedorak, completes his term, we ask that you join with the Board to pray for Holy Spirit’s blessing upon Al and Joan. We are thankful for the steadfast leadership Al has provided, and we thank you for how you supported him during our transition.

We look forward to Pastor Tim and Melissa joining our church family. We ask you to pray for them as they adjust to life in Regina. We pray a blessing over their children – Selah, Corban, and Annaya – as they make new friends at school and church.

We covet your prayers for the Board. We are excited to see all that Jesus will do at Living Hope. Thank you for serving with us!
