This Sunday in our Wisdom in the Desert series, we’ll reflect together on The Lessons of the Desert: Entering Holy Week. As we move with Jesus toward Jerusalem, we’re invited to notice how the desert prepares us to recognize the humble King who comes to us in peace. Drawing on the story of the triumphal entry and the prophetic hope found in Zechariah and Hosea, we’ll listen for how God continues to call His people into renewed trust, love, and faithfulness as we step into this sacred week together.
This is part of our new special monthly gathering, with an emphasis on our life as a community as we enter Holy Week side by side. After the service, we’ll continue the morning by sharing a potluck meal together—a simple and meaningful way to deepen our life in spiritual family as we prepare our hearts for Easter.

This Sunday we continue our Lenten series Wisdom in the Desert, exploring how seasons of dryness, waiting, and testing can become places where God speaks most clearly. Becki Lee will guide us through The Foolish Way of Wisdom, reflecting on how God’s wisdom often looks very different from the wisdom of the world. In Scripture, the desert becomes a place of revelation—where we learn what it means to build our lives on the rock and pursue the kind of wisdom that produces humility, peace, and righteousness.

Join us as we continue this journey through Lent, seeking God’s wisdom together.

Wisdom in the Desert continues with Jason’s message, “The Freedom of Renunciation: The Desert as a Place of Self-Denial.” In this Lenten reflection, we explore how Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6:19–24 and his invitation to the rich young ruler in Mark 10:21 call us to loosen our grip on what we cling to—and discover a deeper freedom in God.

Focusing on prayer, this message invites us to see renunciation not as loss, but as space: space to listen, to trust, and to re-center our hearts on what truly lasts. The desert becomes a place where distraction falls away and devotion grows clearer.

A timely word for Lent as we learn again what it means to seek God first.

We're so excited that our students are taking over worship this Sunday March 1, with a Student-Led Reunion Service, stepping boldly in faith to shape worship, prayer, and community. This is more than a service—it’s a chance to witness their creativity, leadership, and passion for following Jesus in action. Join us in praying for them as they take this step, and come ready to be inspired, encouraged, and energized by what God is doing through the next generation of His church!

We’re looking forward to welcoming guest teacher Mark Cuthbert (from FEB) this Sunday as we pivot back to our Essential Church series — briefly interrupting our Lent journey for this special time together — with a message titled Living the Great Commission (and Commandment). Mark will help us reflect on what it means to live out Jesus’ call to make disciples while embodying His command to love God and neighbour in our everyday lives. He was originally scheduled to be with us on January 25, when services were cancelled due to severe weather, so we’re especially grateful he’s able to join us this weekend — we hope you’ll be there to receive from his teaching.

This Sunday at Reunion, we continue our Essential Church sermon series with “Empowered by the Spirit.” Together, we’ll explore how the Holy Spirit empowers every member of the church for ministry, equipping us with unique gifts to serve and build up the body of Christ. Drawing from Acts 1:8 and 1 Corinthians 12:4–11, we’re excited to welcome guest teacher Bob Flemming from FEB, who will help us reflect on the Spirit’s power at work in and through each of us.

Essential Church continues at Reunion Sunday with The Church Christ Builds, reminding us that the church belongs to Jesus—and He is still actively building it today. Drawing from Matthew 16:18 and Ephesians 4:1–3, this message calls us to live as a united body marked by humility, gentleness, patience, and love. As we focus on what truly makes the church essential, we’re honored to welcome guest speaker Tim Strickland from FEB, who will encourage us to walk together in unity as Christ shapes His church.

Beginning January 11, Jason will introduce a new teaching series, Essential Church. This timely series centers on the core gospel message, mission, and unity—reminding us that the Church’s identity is rooted in Christ. In the weeks that follow, we’ll explore the church Christ builds, living the Great Commission, and being empowered by the Spirit. We invite you to join us, grow with us, and be encouraged as we seek to follow Jesus and live out His purpose together.

We look forward to gathering together on Christmas Eve at 6pm. Join us for a simple, family friendly service as we reflect on the wonder of the incarnation. Together, we will celebrate the hope of “God With Us — Jesus, Light in the Darkness,” as we reflect on the joy, peace, and promise found in Christ’s birth.

As Christmas day draws near, we know many are experiencing the joy and warmth that the holidays bring. However, we know this isn't always true for everyone. Some of us are in the midst of challenging, painful seasons; times in which we may feel alone and forgotten. Where is God in moments like this? Is there any good news to be found? Join us on Sunday as we consider.
