Now that we have completed most of the repairs and renovations brought on by a water backup in our basement, Cassie and I moved the majority of items that belong in our basement from our garage to their new homes. For the most part, the move was uneventful. We took a look at an item, … Continue reading Rethinking the Strategy
Let’s Chat
Hey Folks! Maybe it's just that I'm feeling a little lonely here in the office from Pastor Darcy being away on vacation, but I, now more than ever, want to spend my time connecting with you. Especially parents. There are a lot of exciting things coming to Junior and Senior youth this year and so I want … Continue reading Let’s Chat
Hope
It’s easy to get lost in this season. For some, it’s busyness that’s the distraction—we bounce from family gathering to work party to a get together with friends to another family gathering. We spend more time figuring out how we can possibly make it to every event we’ve been invited to than we do reflecting … Continue reading Hope
Off to Siloam and ICYA
Tomorrow we’ll be heading in to Winnipeg to serve with Siloam Mission and Inner City Youth Alive. This is going to be a great opportunity for our senior youth to act out on their faith; a great chance to serve others and to help these two amazing ministries continue on in the work that they’re … Continue reading Off to Siloam and ICYA
The Kingdom
If I’m honest, I’m overwhelmed. I’m sitting here, realizing that I oversee 24 volunteers directly, which make up three different ministries, with four different focus areas. This is definitely the largest group of people I’ve led at one time. I have weekly duties like writing this blog, preparing Bible studies, preparing games that will fit … Continue reading The Kingdom

We’ve been back from Longbow for just a couple days now… rested yet?! To keep the tradition alive, it rained on and off all weekend… but we still had a great time! We even squeezed a campfire in Saturday evening when it dried off a little bit. We also elected the rest of our Youth … Continue reading Keeping Up On Goals
Stop, Reflect, Go
How are you starting off the new year?
A Different Path
At this moment, while I write this, we’re driving away from Caronport on our journey back to Ridgewood from Abundant Springs. Situations like this have an interesting tone because there’s such a mix of activities happening. Some of the youth somehow still have some energy to talk and have all sorts of fun while others … Continue reading A Different Path
We Want a King
All the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah. They said to him, "You are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have." But when they said, "Give us a king to lead us," this … Continue reading We Want a King
Hearing God
1 Samuel 3:1-10 says, The boy Samuel ministered before the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions. One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place. The lamp of God had not … Continue reading Hearing God
