Outreach to the needy, and our church is invited to help: “Back Alley Bites,” Feb 20, 6 to 7 pm, downtown at Out of the Cold (245 St. Paul Street). A food truck brings some tasty dinner, live music, outdoor fireplaces. You are also welcome to come, greet and talk with folks from the street.

We are hosting the FMCiC Regional Gathering, March 7-8 (Friday evening and Saturday). Danny A. is bringing 5-6 people from New Westminster church, and they are seeking billets. If you would be willing to put up a single or a couple, would you please let Pastor Shelley know? The commitment would be a bed, and a light breakfast, or at least a cup of coffee. These are all young folks, who would be hard pressed to pay for a hotel.
Thinking about summer? The church camping trip has been booked for July 4-6 at Ross Creek Campsite on Magna Bay. For more information or to sign up talk to Chris.
Looking for a way to grow in your discipleship this New Year? Pastor Shelley recommends TheWay Discipleship Pathway app, by Church Renewal International. Download it on your phone, create an account, and then access the teaching and guidance 5 days a week. There are various courses available, but the one to start with is Abide in Christ. This is a proven way to help you learn to hear God’s voice. Ask Pastor Shelley or Connie for help with the download if you need it.
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 at 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!
