Saturday morning prayer update
We’ll be taking a pause on Saturday morning prayer for the month of September, and will be resuming in October, biweekly, starting the 11th. These times will be simple and welcoming - returning to the basics, and grow in our confidence and joy in being with God.
Why prayer? Because prayer is how we learn to be with Jesus—to sit in His presence, to listen, to speak, to rest. It’s how we are formed by His heart and become more like Him. And it’s through prayer that we receive strength and guidance to do what He did—loving others, walking in obedience, and joining God in His work in the world.
CEM Update
For parents of children in grades 1-3, pick location is now in the Agape Centre (gym), immediately after the service.
For parents of children grades 4-6, pick up is in the gym, if they have not signed the permission form for their children to be released on their own.
For more information, please speak to Elder Jessica Lee.

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