Join us this Sunday as we worship God through a reflective walk in creation. It looks like it will be a beautiful Fall day.

We will meet at Schmidt Woods Trails at 1291 Nafziger Road, Baden at 10:30 to enjoy time together in God’s creation.  

Please park near the children’s playground.

We will be outside for the duration of the service. 

This is a great Sunday to invite a friend to join our church community.

We will not be meeting at CMCC this Sunday. 

Join us next Sunday as we begin a new series:  Finding Hope in our Journey.  In this series we will explore hope as our firm and secure anchor, grounded in the promises of God.

“Thanks so much!  The food was delicious.”  “I met a new friend.”  “Can I serve at the next supper?” “Can I tell you about my plans for after high school?” These are just a few of the comments spoken by the youth at our High Schoolers’ Supper.  The new leadership team worked hard peeling, cutting, stirring and plating the many ingredients for the Taco Supper.  The youth served their peers, welcoming them with kindness and warmth.  Conversation around the tables was meaningful and encouraging.  Let’s continue to pray for the growth and well-being of the youth.

Thanks for all who came participated in the evening.

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.

This week we are invited to pray for:

• Vanessa, Jeff, Misha and Joss as they settle in

• Municipal Elections—for wise leadership for our communities

• Each other
