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!
