Series: christmas conundrums
Sermon: Don’t the Christmas Stories Contradict One Another?
Speaker: Ken Taylor, Lead Pastor
Christmas is that time of the year when we celebrate one of the most amazing stories in the human library. We really get into it. All around the world we read about it, watch it in movies, perform Christmas musicals, see children act it out and preach it. But is it true? Did it really happen like the Bible tells it or are the challenges to the Christmas Story correct? Is it off on some of the details? Is it just a warm cuddly story with little credibility? We'll talk about the conundrums to the Christmas account on Sunday. Get ready to marvel at it once again.

Your Generosity at Work
This Week's Story:
Clothing Support for a Child in the Two Rivers Neighbourhood
We’re thankful for the opportunity to offer practical care to a child connected with the Two Rivers Neighbourhood Group. With limited clothing and low access to laundry, this child was in real need of essentials. We provided $150 in new clothing, chosen specifically to meet their unique sensitivities to fabrics and styles. By handling the shopping ourselves, we were able to save the family significant time and stress while ensuring the child received items that truly work for them.
Thank you for making compassionate, personalized support like this possible. Your generosity continues to meet real needs in our community.
