Join us every Sunday morning from 9:30 to 10 am for PrayFirst. PrayFirst is an opportunity to hear God’s voice, intercede in prayer for others, and learn new ways to pray. PrayFirst is also a great opportunity to prepare your heart for the worship gathering at 10:30.
Jaffray Offering // October 16
Over a billion people in over 500,000 villages in South Asia have never encountered the Gospel. South Asia is a mission field the size of which this generation has never seen. It’s still growing by nearly the population of Canada every single year. The Jaffray Project, our annual missions focus, is raising funds to be used in South Asia where few or none have heard of Jesus. On Sunday, Oct 16, we will collect the Jaffray Offering. We ask that you prayerfully consider what you might contribute so others can hear the life-changing gospel of Jesus.
