Save the Date! FOCUS VBS
Save the Date!
This Summer, we are excited to announce our dates for our summer kids camp program. We hope you’ll be able to join us for our FOCUS VBS on July 24 – 28. This will be a half day program from 9am to 12pm and will be for all kids entering Kindergarten up to Grade 5.
Our program will help kids dive deeper into their faith as we discover how to trust in what we CAN’T see because of what we CAN see by putting the FOCUS on God and His amazing plan for us!
So mark your calendars and stay tuned for more info in the weeks to come!

Hey you lovely Peeps!
This week we are in house once again. I know you’re not worried about being bored or having a lame night, and that’s good, because it certainly will not be any of those things. Getting to know each other and Jesus is never a waste of time. I can’t wait to see you all there!
Heads up for Small group night next week (Feb 24th). (If you or your parents would like to host your small group, you can either let me know, or contact your Youth Leader)

World Watch List 2023 - Praying for Persecuted Christians
This is Open Doors 30th-anniversary edition of the World Watch List, a ranking of the 50 countries where Christians experience the most extreme persecution.
Published every January, it is a unique, in-depth record of the places where faith in Jesus costs the most, helping to demonstrate the enormous scale of the persecution being faced by Christians around the world.
Every year, The World Watch List stirs more and more people to wake up to the reality of extreme persecution. It is more than just a list – it helps us not only to pray for the persecuted church, but also to speak up for those who are being silenced, and to take action to help those in need of love and support.
