Update from Lead Pastor Search Team
The Lead Pastor Search Team continue to meet regularly to refine the next steps in the search process as we await the resume that matches our needs. We have had a few applicants, but none so far that warranted additional follow-up. Please continue to pray for the person that God is preparing to send us as our next Lead Pastor, that they would see our job posting and be inspired to send us their resume. Pray for the Search Team, that we would receive God’s wisdom in evaluating each application as they are received, and to have the faith and patience to wait for the ONE whom we believe God is preparing for us.
Thank you for your patient perseverance as we pray through this journey together.

Ministry Fair Update: Thank you to everyone who participated in the Ministry Fair On Sept 15 & 22. It was great seeing people connecting with one another and eager to serve within the various ministries of our church. We now have another Chair Team to prepare our worship space. Our maintenance team grew during that time and is led by Rene Gagnon. The “Crew” will be working on our building so it’s always ready to host the many ministry events that happen from week to week. It is exciting to see God’s people come together to serve one another and to glorify Jesus in all we do.
