Family Announcements Announcement
from Church Council
As Council has previously advised, Pastor Joan DeVries
has been granted a leave of absence until July 21. During this time, any pastoral
care matters should be referred to your Pastoral Care Elder or Pastor John Wildeboer.
If you are unsure about your Pastoral Care Elder, you can contact Rita Klomps. Council
Covets Your Prayers
Council desires the help of the congregation in calling
on the Lord in prayer to discern His will for this church. All are invited to
join with members of Council at the Wednesday night prayer meeting, July 2nd and
July 9th from 8-10 pm. We also invite those who are able, to fast from dinner
those nights. It is our collective prayer that God will grant clarity. Farewell
We say goodbye to Laurens and Gery Jonker as they transfer their membership to
Heritage Fellowship Church in Brampton. Meena Ramprasad, who has faithfully served
our infants and toddlers for about 6 years in the Little Lambs (Coffee Break)

| Offerings As
a church we want to give back to God’s work so we schedule a time for this in
our services. If you are our guest, you are welcome to participate, but do not
feel obligated. Offering
for this Sunday (June 29):
The Bible League
An evangelical, non-denominational
ministry that accepts the printed word as the most effective mission and acquaints
churches in Canada with the need for the printed Word in Third World countries. Offering
for next Sunday (July 6):
Ontario Alliance of Christian Schools
Responding
to God’s call in achieving excellence in Christian education through Christian
Schools accessible to families in each community. Change
to offering schedule.
Beginning in September, the morning collection will
be for two designated causes. Since we no longer have evening services, we are
having difficulty meeting all our commitments for collection requests. The “designated
cause” collection envelopes are divided into two – black print for a.m. and red
print for evening. We will now list the two causes in the bulletin designating
“red” or “black” envelope. For example the bulletin will state CRWRC – black envelope
and Benevolence – red envelope. You can give to the cause of your choice or to
both by dividing your donation between the two envelopes. |
