We want to see people powerfully transformed to follow Jesus Christ, to live in loving obedience to God and to serve others in freedom and love
LEAVING YOUR MARK – Who is this King? – Mark 9:30-50
November 18, 2011
In just over a week’s time we will be in full swing with our Christmas Events and the Kettle Appeal. Thank you to so many of you who have already volunteered to stand on a Kettle for this coming season. It is vitally important that every Kettle is manned every day so that we can reach our financial targets which enable the extensive work of the Centre of Hope to continue, serving the needs of the homeless and hurting our City. May I suggest that parents with younger children consider ‘manning’ a Kettle as a family, therefore teaching your kids the value of helping others.
Dedication on Sunday
On Sunday morning at 10am we will dedicate Lincoln Nelson to the glory of God and his parents, Wendy and Bruce, will promise to teach him to love God and to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. I hope you will be able to be present to witness this meaningful ceremony and to join with his parents in nurturing the spiritual life of Lincoln.
Men’s Breakfast at Centre of Hope
The monthly Men’s Breakfast will be held at the Centre of Hope on Saturday morning at 8am. All men are invited to join in on this occasion and the guest speaker this month will be Lt Colonel Peter Roed.
Home Missions
Thank you for the donations that many of you made recently to support the work of The Salvation Army in the Northern Regions of British Columbia. The total given to date stands at $2,778.06
Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes
Thank you once again for the wonderful response to this year’s appeal and this comes with a reminder that the shoe boxes are due back this Sunday 20 November.
Bake ‘a thon
On Wednesday, November 23 @6pm Cascade Church will be hosting the first ever Bake O’ Thon. Nine volunteers from the church will be teaching families and youth how to bake their favorite recipes. This is great family event – all ages are welcome – bring your sweet tooth!
Volunteer’s Christmas Appreciation Dinner
Last evening we shared in a wonderful Christmas Celebration with our Centre of Hope volunteers. Around 200 people were in attendance to experience a fantastic meal prepared by Chef Rob and the Culinary Arts Student Chefs. Sylvia Antonescu (Volunteers Coordinator) had also arranged a delightful musical program to go with the meal. Thank you Sylvia and thank you to our amazing Volunteers.
Hope to see you worshipping with us on Sunday!
