This Sunday we are together in person at the Legacy Building in Abbotsford, and simultaneously on Zoom
Brenda Janz will be speaking starting from the Lectionary passages this week: Acts 8:1-12 (or Isaiah 52:7-10); Psalm 71:15-23; Romans 10:9-15; John 4:24-29
Coffee will be ready to go at 10:20am (and again in the coffee break). Please help us reduce waste by bringing your own cup or mug.
If you are joining on zoom we'll let you in at around 10:20 so we can make sure it is all working for you and so we can visit for a few minutes ahead of getting going at 10:30.
Contact the office for an invite.
Kevin Boese will lead our sung worship portion and if you want to sing along live the lyrics are on our sung worship page. If you can’t join us at the time there is a playlist on YouTube or Spotify.

LGBTQ+ Resources
Keep popping back here as this is an ever evolving list of resources
On Sunday, October 3, 2021 we marked our churches decision to be an inclusive, welcoming and affirming community of people who are making it our business to live out our faith in love.
Stacey Chomiak is an LGBTQ Christian Speaker, artist, author and art director and was our guest speaker and we loved hearing her story.
If you were not able to join us that week, here's a recording of the gathering. It was wonderful. You can watch on Vimeo or find that episode by date on our podcast.

We alternate Sundays in a combination live/online and online only format
We meet LIVE on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month, and online only on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Sundays except when we have a long weekend when we pause our official gathering together.
It takes a crowd of people to make the Live gatherings happen and we'd love to have you join the team contact the office and we'll add you to a team in an area that would fit you.
KIDS are IN PERSON this weekend and will BREAK OUT together at the coffee break.
The regular pattern is zoom on weeks 1 & 3 in the month and in person on weeks 2 & 4 in the month - pop back here for the plan as and when we have 5 week months.
Either way we meet we will get together to tell stories, play games, do craft, have communion together and pray.
Message Sarah if you would like more information or to get on the list to get the family information or invites for each week.
We have some groups, starting the week of Jan 22 and 29. Take a look and sign up for a group you would like to join. SMALL GROUPS - JAN 2024
If you have another idea or a group that you would like to start then let us know using the contact form below.
Small group thoughts and ideas
There may be a time when some in our community need to stay home and isolate. We want to be able to help you as you need it. There are members of our community who will be happy to pick up groceries for you, bring you a nice coffee, visit through a window, pray for you, or try and meet whatever need you have.
Let us know how we can help by contacting the church office.
Let us be community together by helping one another out.
