This Week and Next Week

Join us Sunday at 10:30 as we begin our new four weeks series, examining our thought life through focusing on Philippians 4:8.

Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8

Congregational Meeting: Following our morning worship service, we will join together for lunch and then move into our congregational meeting as we continue our Prayer and Discernment Season with Credence and Co. Marg will present the four priorities noted through our time of discernment and circle conversation. We will continue in discerning God’s hopes for The Gathering Church together.

Next Sunday we will continue our focus on Philippians 4:8.

Community Supper:

There were many meaningful conversations and lots of delicious food at our October Community Supper. Thank you to everyone who was able to participate in welcoming the community and sharing God’s loving presence.

Our Christmas Community Supper is on December 14^th. Please save the date for time of celebrating Emmanuel, God with us, through the sharing of a meal, warm welcome and the building of community.

Snack Attack: Tuesdays 1:30 to 4:00 at CMCC

Please pray for Snack Attack. For relationships to form. For encouragement to be given and received and for the community to experience the love of God.
