White Cross is a Christian humanitarian organization that provides medical supplies and relief goods to hospitals, health centres and rest houses in West Africa, with a primary focus on Cameroon and Nigeria. This ministry is a critically-important source of bandages, baby items, medical equipment and other critical supplies, and we would love your help!

Join us for our first meeting of the ministry year on Monday, September 15th from 9:30am-12pm at Connors Hill as we spend time together building relationships and helping those less fortunate.

Questions? Contact Lorne Funk (780.909.7116, lmfunk@telus.net).

On Sunday, September 14, at Southeast AND Sherwood Park between the 9am and 11am services, join us to hear about the youth year we have ahead, our team, and the intended schedule for the upcoming three months! We would love to see you there, whether your students are new to youth or seasoned veterans.

If you are at Connors Hill, during either the 9am or 11am service, make sure your youth go to the youth room! They'll have some time to get to know Reg and get connected with each other! There will be a parent meeting following BOTH services, so go to the youth room after the service to see your youth and hear Reg share about the youth year ahead.

To learn more about youth at your site, you can contact Mike, Reg, or Jess.

Join Central Youth for a Worship & Teaching night on Friday, May 16th, from 7-9pm at our Southeast site. Questions? Talk to Levi, Mike, or Jess.

Pain and Suffering are part of the human condition. Everyone has or will experience pain and/or suffering in their lives. How do we respond to it? Where is God in it? How can we get through it in an honest faith filled journey?

To help us answer these questions, we invite you to join us for a seminar on Walking with God Through Pain and Suffering. Pastor Tom will share some of his own challenges along with a review of Tim Keller’s book by the same title. We will also hear a testimony of someone who has gone through and reflected on pain and suffering in her family’s life. Finally, we will have time to share with others at the seminar and pray for one another.

Refreshments and handouts will be provided.

This is a 55+ seminar but adults of any age are welcome to attend. Please RSVP HERE so we can plan accordingly.
