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
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

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
There are some times in life that seem to make the most sense to make new goals. New Years Day, for example, is commonly the beginning of everyone’s ‘Healthiest Year Ever'. September seems to be one of those times too. We fall back into routine as we (or our kids) head back to school, we … Continue reading A New Season, A New Start
