We’re excited to be delving into John’s gospel – the good news about Jesus as John sees it. This book is beautiful, rich and multi-layered and will be an amazing companion for the Fall and beyond. Get ready to have your own discipleship – in other words your journey towards Christlikeness – get an infusion […]
UPDATE (Sept 22): The EHS group that was planned for this Fall has been postponed. Stay tuned for when we offer it in the future. One of our House Groups this year will be doing the Emotionally Health Spirituality course in October and November. If you missed it last Fall, perhaps this is a time
This Fall we’re encouraging everyone to participate in a House Group. Following Jesus is never a lone-ranger deal. We need each other. The care, companionship, support, encouragement, challenge and joy that comes in life-on-life situations is key to becoming more Christlike. A short survey of the New Testament indicates the priority the early church had
We have been able to secure a date for the funeral of both Kenny Lacquette and Edna Sinclair. Because they are both from the same family (Edna is Kenny’s mother) we are going to celebrate both of their lives together at the same time – honouring each separately, but during the same service. Friday, September
This week marks the end of an era. Vanessa Koppanyi (Lewis) will be moving on to a new job and finishing as our Administrator and Bookkeeper on Friday. Vanessa has served in our office since 2015. She began as a receptionist and administrator and in 2018 bookkeeper was added to her portfolio. Over the past
Dear WCV Community, At a recent Elder’s meeting there was a keen sense that WCV is about to turn a corner out of the turbulent waters of the past few years. “A new thing springing up” (Isaiah43:19) is a word for us in this season. This is super encouraging, but we still need to lead
Dear WCV, Happy summer to you all. I thought it would be good to give you a heads up on a few items as we head into the summer. Connecting Can we be making sure we are caring for each other in this time? For many in our community, these are disconnected times. I’d love
We know some of you have been wondering about what’s happening with the proposal from Millar College to lease space in our building. Covid-19 has thrown some wrenches into the plans, but there are some new developments that we’d like to let you know about. Beginning July 15, Millar College of the Bible will be
For the past 13 years, the community called Flatlanders Inn has welcomed over 130 people through its doors. People came for a variety of reasons but nearly all recognized their need for support, care, and help on their journey. We need each other… and we need God. This was a foundational reality on which Flatlanders
At noon last Thursday, we prepped and distributed 120 hamburgers, chips, drinks, and granola bars in a large Ziploc bag to Main Street. Thinking we’d see everyone at the door was a naive dream. So we went to the street and distributed all the bagged lunches in an hour to the groups in front of
Hey folks! Thank you to those of you who have been so faithfully praying with us every week! We are going to take a bit of a break for the summer months meeting every other week instead. (Still on Wednesdays, and at 7pm). We hope this will give you time to refresh yourself and enjoy
This summer we’re going to hear from a broad cross-section of people in our community as they explore what it means for them to be salt and light in the places they go. What impact does being a Jesus follower have on their work life? What are the implications of seeking God’s Kingdom in their
For those who are curious, here is the prayer I prayed on Sunday: Indegenous Peoples Day Prayer And today, on this National Indigenous Peoples Day, we give thanks for the First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples of our community and country. We acknowledge the Anishinabe, Cree, Oji-cree, Dakota, Dene and Metis peoples as the original
