This Sunday

This Sunday

Join us this week as we conclude our series  "All Things New: God Who Initiates the New".  How are you making room for new works of God in your life?  What new songs has God placed within you?  Together we’ll explore God’s story of inviting His people into new ways of experiencing His word.

 

Next Sunday we’ll celebrate Family Day weekend with a creative intergenerational worship service. 

 

Annual General Meeting

On Sunday March 1st, Hans and Jutta are celebrating their 68th wedding anniversary. 

To celebrate this milestone, Hans and Jutta extend an invitation to The Gathering Church to join them in an anniversary luncheon following our morning worship service on March 1st.  Hans and Jutta are generously providing a pizza lunch and a special anniversary dessert for us to enjoy together.

We hope that you will join in this time of blessing and honouring Hans and Jutta.
