yam weekly

The Young Adults Ministry will begin having planned weekly fellowship (starting March) in hopes to build intentional community and better integrate new comers!

The first Sunday of every month will be dedicated to a Bible study, the second Sunday will focus on a time of prayer, with the third Sunday a time spent with the wider EM community (all are welcome!) The last Sunday will be a rest week :)

Hope you are excited as we are for this new beginning!

Coldest night of the year trivia night 

Hey, church! There will be a Trivia Night hosted by our very own Singles & Careers Ministry partnered with the Missions Team. This will be a fundraiser event held in Bethel Chapel on Friday, February 21 from 7PM to 9:30PM.

Hope to see you there, friends!

coldest night of the year

It's cold out there. And this February, our team is going to do something about it. Together with thousands of Canadians across the country, we're walking and fundraising to support and serve people and families experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness in our community.

FOODBANK DONATIONS (during communion)

We will be collecting food item donations for our local food banks during Sundays when we host Communion (first Sunday of each month). As we come to the table of Communion and break bread together, we also remember people in our local community who are experiencing food insecurity.

This a list of food items that have specifically been requested by our local food bank. We ask that you prayerfully consider picking up an item on this list during your next trip to the grocery store, and bring it with you on Sundays leading up to Communion Service on February 2.

If you have any questions, please connect with Abigaille Alpay.
