Jaffray Offering
Every year, we join with the 45+ other Alliance churches across Canada to take up an offering that assists our global efforts to build God’s Kingdom. This year’s Jaffray Offering will support 167 church planters in South Asia as they make the name of Jesus famous in that region. Thank you for prayerfully considering what you can sacrificially give on Sunday, Oct 22, so others might join God’s family.

Clothing Drive
While you’re getting out your winter gear, please bring any gently used items you no longer need of any size to the church. We will once again bless the families at Arcola Community School as many have just moved to Canada and do not have appropriate cold weather gear such boots, coats, hats, mitts, etc. Deposit in bin in lobby by Monday, Nov 6. Thanks for your generosity!
