Small groups. Those interested in being in a group are invited to complete a brief questionnaire available in the mailroom and return to Pastor Shelley.
Christmas Walk-About Thanks to all who volunteered in various ways to make this wonderful neighbourhood event happen!
Poinsettias – For the month of December, you are invited to place poinsettias in memory of a loved one in the sanctuary. Plants can be dropped off to the office Wednesday mornings between 9-11 am, or Sunday morning before service.
The Lighthouse Project, which is an outreach program that cares for those living on the streets of Kamloops, is in need of bottled water. We often think of water during the hot days of summer but staying healthy and hydrated is essential in the winter months as they are trying to cope with the cold. If you would like to donate water, please bring it to the church and their volunteers will pick it up here.
There are several ways to give donations to the church. There is an offering box at the back of the sanctuary. Offering envelopes are available on the ushers table. You can e-transfer a donation to the church (treasurer@kamfm.ca) or give through the Tithely app. Ask an usher or phone or email the church office. Thank you for giving!
