Invite some friends and join us on Sunday, September 8th for our Fall Kick-Off! This is one of our favourite times each year. It’s a chance to catch up with those you’ve missed throughout the summer, eat some food, participate in a worship service, and hear a bit about where we’re going as a church this year and how to get on board! We’ll have one short service at ALL THREE SITES at 10am with a BBQ to follow.

At Connors Hill, there is no access to the kitchen so the church will provide hot dogs, chips, and drinks.

At Southeast and Sherwood Park, the church will provide the hot dogs, fixings, and drinks. You are invited to bring a salad, side, or dessert.
