12 Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.
1Timothy 4:12
Hi Church Family!
For this week's Sunday service, we are excited to have our Youth and Young Adults share with us in regards to their experiences at the recent Youth Retreat. Our Kids in the Word will also share the Romans Road Bible verses they have been memorizing.
Early risers are welcome at 9:30am for a coffee and fellowship time in room 14 or the chapel.
Following the service we will enjoy Fellowship Cafe together in the lower auditorium and various Bible studies will be happening at 11:45 am (we will ring a bell to let you know when they are starting.)
IMPORTANT UPDATE - EXCITING CHANGES ARE CONTINUTING :-)
Due to our foyer renovations most of the foyer will be blocked off, so everyone is strongly encouraged to use our south doors for entry / exit. You can hang your jackets in the hallway with the mailboxes, or use the racks downstairs.
If you have mobility issues you are still welcome to use the main doors.
Since there is worship practice and prayer happening in the sanctuary until 9:45am, the doors to the sanctuary will remain closed until then. We kindly ask that movement through the sanctuary be kept to a minimum until 9:45am.
Praise God the City of Winnipeg approved our permit in record time. :-)
