2-Part Series: Be Rich

Sermon: It’s about the WHY and not about the WHAT

Speaker: Ken Taylor, Lead Pastor

Grab your wallet, change the password for your online banking, and lock up your house. We’re going to talk about money, and not just money in general, but your money. How’s that for getting up close and personal? God has some beautiful things to say about money and the wonderful blessings we and others can experience through it. And that’s worth the price of admission. See you on Sunday.

Hope House - Looking for help

Hope House Guelph is looking for three able-bodied volunteers during the second week of December to help disassemble our organ loft as we prepare the space for a new therapeutic office. The work includes removing lightweight organ pipes (a few may require two people) and taking apart the wooden framing with basic hand tools. All materials will be safely stored or disposed of. If you can lend a hand, please contact Mark Filo at mark@hopehouseguelph.ca. Thank you for helping us make space for hope!

Volunteer for the 21st Annual Joy Home Tour!

Volunteer Shifts:
