BIBLE READING PLANS & PRAYER CARD 2015
In 2015 we invited everyone to read the Bible daily.
There are three plans available for different levels of
devotional reading. We also challenge you to take a
weekly prayer card to encourage prayer in your
devotional life. These are at the Welcome Centre.
SEPTEMBER TRANSITIONS
As announced in July, beginning September 1st, Jordan
Grant will begin his role as our new Executive Director.
Jordan will build on the foundation that Judy Golds has
set by working with our staff, Ministry Council and
committees to allow for the continued health and
growth of our church. Judy will stay on in her
retirement as our bookkeeper on a part-time basis until
March 2016. There will be an opportunity to extend
best wishes to Judy, as well as welcome Jordan to our
team in September. Details to follow. Stay tuned!
