This Sunday we are together in person at the Legacy Building in Abbotsford, and simultaneously on Zoom
Taryn Polishchuk will be speaking starting from the Lectionary passages for this week: Genesis 47:13-25; Psalm 107:1-3, 35-43; Acts 5:1-11; Luke 8:1-15
Coffee will be ready to go at 10:20am (and again in the coffee break). Please help us reduce waste by bringing your own cup or mug.
If you are joining on zoom we'll let you in at around 10:20 so we can make sure it is all working for you and so we can visit for a few minutes ahead of getting going at 10:30.
Contact the office for an invite.

On Sunday, October 3, 2021 we marked our churches decision to be an inclusive, welcoming and affirming community of people who are making it our business to live out our faith in love.
Stacey Chomiak is an LGBTQ Christian Speaker, artist, author and art director and was our guest speaker and we loved hearing her story.
If you were not able to join us that week, here's a recording of the gathering. It was wonderful. You can watch on Vimeo or find that episode by date on our podcast.
We are all on Zoom on January 5. Details above.

We alternate Sundays in a combination live/online and online only format
We meet LIVE on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month, and online only on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Sundays except when we have a long weekend when we pause our official gathering together.
It takes a crowd of people to make the Live gatherings happen and we'd love to have you join the team contact the office and we'll add you to a team in an area that would fit you.
The regular pattern is extra bits and pieces from Sarah for families to use for weeks 1 & 3 and the occassional week 5 in the month and in person group for kids on weeks 2 & 4 in the month.
When we meet we tell stories, do craft, pray, and free play.
Message Sarah if you would like more information or to get on the list to get the family information or invites for each week.
This week's drop in on Wednesday will be hosted by Sarah on Zoom.
We are taking themes from WM Paul Young's book, Lies we believe about God for our Wednesday drop in.
This week the lie is: “GOD IS GOOD. I AM NOT”
Join us using the regular Sunday Zoom code (contact Sarah if you don't have it)
There may be a time when some in our community need to stay home and isolate. We want to be able to help you as you need it. There are members of our community who will be happy to pick up groceries for you, bring you a nice coffee, visit through a window, pray for you, or try and meet whatever need you have.
Let us know how we can help by contacting the church office.
Let us be community together by helping one another out.
