Our annual Christmas Community Impact Project is underway! Donations of items for the Island Crisis Care Society will be accepted at the church until December 11th. Please bring items on Sunday morning or during office hours and place them in the box in the lobby. Click through to see a list of items needed, or pick one up in the church lobby.

This coming week we will be publishing a list of items required for Christmas Hampers to be delivered to local families. Please watch our social media channels and website for details on how to sign up!

A family that is newer to our Church is making the big move to our area on December 4th. They could use some help unloading the moving trucks in the afternoon/evening. If you think that you are able to help, please contact the church office and we'd be happy to provide more information.

Also, if you're still cleaning up from last week's storm and could use some hauling help or just some helping hands, we may have some available! Please contact Stef at the church office for more details.

The Nickel family recently welcomed the newest addition to their family (woo hoo!) and are moving to boot! You'll get to meet the little one soon, but if you think that you might be able to support this family by blessing them with a homemade meal in the next couple of weeks, please click the link below to sign up for the meal train. 

We are looking forward to the journey through the advent season this year! If you'd like make an intentional effort to go deeper this season, here are a couple of free advent resources to use.

1) "The Weary World Rejoices" Advent devotional by Kate Bowler

This great resource has daily readings, devotionals, questions, and links to help you go even deeper. You can also visit Kate's website and access an interactive version of this devotional.

2) Focus on the Family Advent Devotional

Daily readings and devotional for families. Visit Focus on the Family for more resources.

3) Browse our library catalogue for Christmas and Advent books.

Carols and Cookies returns on December 11th. Join us at the church for some in-house caroling and tasty treats! Maybe invite a friend or two, too!
