We are once again asking our church family to help us strengthen our online ministry by helping us update our sound and media equipment. Our special Thanksgiving Offering enabled us to purchase the first phase of upgrades with the purchase of broadcast software and some lighting equipment needed to enhance our online ministry. We are now ready to begin the second phase of purchasing and installing new overhead lighting and two digital remote-controlled cameras.
Would you prayerfully consider making a financial donation this Christmas? Your gift, no matter how small or large it may be, will greatly help us meet our goal of $10, 000. Your donation can be given any time before the end of December. Please designate your donation as “My Christmas Offering” online or by envelope. Thank you for your generous and sacrificial gift.
If you have not received a Christmas Letter, they are available for pick up in the church lobby or one can be emailed to you.

Would you be willing to shovel out entrances and walkways at the church this winter for one week a month? Please speak to Betty MacWiilliam at 470-8611. Your help would be appreciated. |

The Fredericton Emergency Shelters are also in need of new mittens, hats, hand warmers and scarves to keep residence and individuals warm this winter. A donation box for mittens, hats, handwarmers has been placed in the church lobby. Thank you for loving our city in this way. |
|
The Mitten Tree will soon be up in the church foyer to decorate with your donations of new mittens, hats and scarves. These will be donated to the Gibson Neill Elementary School to keep the children warm this this winter. Any questions contact Andrea at 451-5116. |

Due to COVID-19 restrictions and to give our volunteers a break our Christmas Eve Service and our December 27th service will be online only for this year.
We encourage you to gather with your family bubble to attend these two services online. Begin to think about who you could invite to your home to take part in this online experience.
Christmas Eve will be posted online at 4 PM & 6 PM via Facebook & YouTube. The service on the 27th will be available online at 10 AM. The service will be available to watch anytime after that.

We have two missional communities: Please let us know what group you would like to be a part of. Consider this your personal invitation!!
-
Sunday evenings @ 6 PM - Jim and Sheila Dillon (459-4382) - at the church. (November 29th will be our last week until January)

Making disciples is not a spiritual gift reserved for a few Christian elite. It is the spiritual mandate Jesus gave to all His followers, and it was never intended to be complicated. Whether you are an introverted wall flower or an over the top people person, our weekly study "Discipleship Uncomplicated" delivers exactly what you need to start influencing people for Jesus.

Tuesday Ladies Morning Out: It is with a sad heart that with the increased cases of COVID-19 in NB, a decision has been made that Ladies Morning Out will not meet together on Tuesday mornings at the church. Our Tuesday morning time will once again be virtual at 9:30 for those interested in staying connected to share your prayer requests and blessings. Grab a cup of tea or coffee and join us on Video Chat. Any questions contact Andrea at 451-9600.
