     Masks are not required, but welcome and recommended for singing
     We are continuing to encourage and practice social distancing in our seating
Kids’ church, coffee, and food service will resume in the fall.

Work Bee // August 23 // 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

We are hosting a work bee to clear out spaces and prep for our fall ministries around the church building. If you are willing and able to help out, please rsvp to pastor Shauna by sending an email to shauna@mylivinghope.ca.

MidWeek // Wednesdays beginning September 8 // 6:45 pm – 8:15 pm
MidWeek is an evening of discipleship for kids, youth, and adults conveniently on the same night. It is a moment in the middle of your week to be together with family and friends to worship God, grow in your faith, and just breathe. visit mylivinghope.ca/midweek for details on everything running at MidWeek this fall and to register for classes.
 
Pray First // Sundays beginning September 12 // 9:30 am
Matthew 12:13 says that the church is to be a house of prayer. We want to make prayer the cornerstone of everything we do at Living Hope. We have seen God moving in powerful ways through the faithful prayer of his people. Join us every Sunday morning for corporate prayer as we seek to hear God’s voice and boldly pray for His will to be done here.
 
“Father, by your Spirit, draw us close and create in us an unquenchable desire to sit at your feet and hear the whisper of your voice before all else.”
Cooks in the Kitchen
Connecting with people over food is an important part of our lives. As we move back to full programming for the fall, we want to be able to provide quality food for welcome lunches, Midweek suppers, and other events. If you are interested in serving in this way using your culinary skills, please email shauna@mylivinghope.ca.

Outreach Meeting // August 18 // 7:00 pm

Jesus’ earthly ministry was full of caring and ministering to outcasts and the hurting. He met the physical and spiritual needs of those around Him and he calls us to carry on His ministry of compassion. Join Pastor Colin and others to learn about what we are doing as a church family and talk about where God is leading us to expand and express His compassion to our community.

Discipleship Foundations 1 // September 8 – October 6 // 6:45 pm – 8:15 pm

Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” In this class, we will explore the answer to this question and how this question changes our lives, choices, and responses to everyday situations. Register here.

Leadership Essentials 1 // September 8 – October 6 // 6:45 pm – 8:15 pm
What is leadership? Does it have anything to do with titles, positions, or education? A basic definition is that leadership is influence. Using this influence to empower and inspire others towards wholeness and holiness is the mark of someone following the Jesus Way. Join Pastor Kirk to learn more about becoming a leader who creates a better future for those who follow you. Register here.
 
Family Fun at Cedar Creek // September 12 // 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Bring the whole family to Cedar Creek Gardens for an evening of fun as we begin a new season! Mini golf, gem mining, corn mazes, and a petting zoo are all available at no cost. Food will be available for purchase. This is a great opportunity to reconnect with friends and our church family!
