COVID-19 Update - Week 5

Wednesday, April 8, 2020

The Christian faith encourages us not to worry, don't be afraid, don't panic. God is with us, and He promises to never leave us or forsake us. Be encouraged today!

EASTER SUNDAY

Be invitational, and let's invite people to experience the hope of Jesus this Easter. We will be streaming our services all day on Sunday at 10am, 11:30am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm, and 7pm. Tune in live on our Facebook and YouTube pages.

GOOD FRIDAY PRAYER JOURNEY

This Friday, Good Friday, you and your family are invited to take part in an interactive online experience that invites you to consider the events leading up to Easter. You will have the chance to pause, reflect and pray in the comfort of your  own home. Premiering at 10am, on Friday, April 10, you may also choose to take communion during the experience. Simply prepare by having some grape juice and a bread-like item (a cracker, a roll or a piece of bread) on hand to participate. Visit our Events page on Friday to join us!

UNITE714

Join believers across the world, praying the same prayer, 2 Chronicles 7:14 at 7:14 each morning and night. With one heart, one voice, and one prayer we lift up this prayer to see COVID-19 halted, lives healed, hardships mitigated, people come to Christ, and an outpouring of God’s Spirit.
