Join us this week as together we follow Jesus’ invitation to the table of remembrance and reflection. Together as a community of faith, we will receive the communion elements.

Join us next Sunday as we worship God through a reflective walk in creation. We will meet at Schmidt Woods Trails at 1291 Nafziger Road, Baden at 10:30 to enjoy time together in God’s creation. This is a great Sunday to invite a friend to join our church community.

Snack Attack is wonderful way for us as a church to spread God’s love and to offer healthy snacks to the children and youth of Chandler Mowat. We gather from 1:30 to 4:00 on Tuesdays for meaningful conversation, encouragement and to spread God’s love and peace. You are always welcome to join the Snack Attack team.

We hope you will join us for our High Schoolers' Supper this Tuesday. Dinner is served from 6:00 to 7:30. Prep begins at 4:00. You are welcome to join for some or all of the time.

This is one way we extend God’s love and care to the youth in the Chandler Mowat community. Caring and engaged adults make a positive difference in the lives of youth.  Your presence matters.

Please let Catherine know if you are able to join in.  (catherine@gatheringchurch.ca)
