Over the last several weeks we have been talking about what it means to be reconciled with God and others, and how we can live lives that are marked by reconciliation. We are focusing on reconciliation because God’s heart is for reconciliation. As we pursue reconciliation we experience more of his presence and draw closer to him. Not only that, but God’s desire is that his people, his church, would lead the way in reconciliation in the world today . We are to be ministers of reconciliation. As we continue our ‘Reconciled’ series this Sunday we will be exploring a necessary action that makes reconciliation possible, and we will discover how our church can help build a reconciled nation.
This weekend Rev. Ray Aldred, Director of the Indigenous Studies Program at the Vancouver School of Theology and former Director and current committee member of the First Nations Alliance Church of Canada, will be speaking about the role of repentance in reconciliation. I hope you’ll join us as we move closer to the heart of God and talk about what we can do to live as reconciled people in a reconciled nation.
See you Sunday,
Pastor Kirk

Campus Development is Beginning!
Our campus development is beginning, and next week excavation. Beginning Monday when you come to the church, please park in the west lot and use the WEST ENTRANCE of the building. We will be attentive to that entrance. Please be careful with all the heavy equipment, construction workers, etc. It will be a busy place. You will only be able to use the Arcola Ave entrance during this time to drive onto our property. Thank you for your understanding! The final result will be such a welcome addition!
