We invite all members to vote for the election of these people to the committee next

Island Crisis Care Society has been in operation since
1989 and serves people who are in crisis, homeless or at-risk of
homelessness in our community. They do this by providing shelter
and care, food and essentials, all supported by a dedicated group of
volunteers and staff through the operation of their women’s shelter,
as well as 5 other homes. ICCS programs provide crisis stabilization,
transitional housing, supportive recovery, and rental subsidies
throughout the Nanaimo and Oceanside/Parksville region.
WORDS TO REMEMBER
What we have at the center of our attention is what has us.

King David is both a positive and negative example of this
principle. Whatever he gave his attention to would either “make him”
or “break him”.

JAN 31 - FEB 6
THE EVANGELICAL FELLOWSHIP OF CANADA
We are in the midst of a significant national conversation about the duty of
care we owe one another at the end of life, the legalization of euthanasia and the
protection of religious freedom and conscience. Last fall the EFC worked with the
Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops to develop a Declaration on Euthanasia and
Assisted Suicide that was signed by many evangelical denominational leaders as well
other faith leaders (Catholic, Orthodox, Jewish and Muslim). We are inviting other
concerned Canadians to sign the Declaration. Thus far over 3,200 have signed. Our
goal is to have 10,000 sign by February 6, the anniversary of the Supreme Court
decision that opened the door to physician-assisted suicide.
As the issue moves to Parliament Hill, we want to use the Declaration publically
and in meetings with Parliamentarians as a statement of support for the protection
of life, the promotion of palliative care and the defense of conscience. Please
consider adding your name and encouraging others to sign the Declaration at
www.euthanasiadeclaration.ca. Thank you for your prayerful attention to this
important initiative.

Morning Sermon Notes - January 31, 2016
ONE IN THE SPIRIT
Ephesians 4:1-6
Unity begins with our lives in Christ. (v. 1)
It’s maintained by our treatment of others. (vv. 2-3)
It’s based on our oneness in Christ. (vv. 4-6)
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord . . . and we pray that all unity
may one day be restored, and they'll know we are Christians by our love.
