EQUIP Conference, My Hope Sunday, Watoto Neighbourhood Tour (Pastoral Emphasis for 2/22)

EQUIP Conference – March 13–14

Theme: DISCERNMENT

On March 13–14, we will host our annual EQUIP Conference, and this year’s theme is DISCERNMENT.

Together, we’ll explore:

What discernment is and why it matters
The purpose of discernment in the life of a believer
How to grow in discernment spiritually
How to apply discernment in both the church and today’s culture

In a world full of competing voices, shifting values, and cultural confusion, discernment is not optional—it is essential. This conference is designed to equip us to think biblically, live wisely, and respond faithfully.

The conference is free and open to everyone, so help us spread the word and invite your friends and family. Please register to assist us with food preparation and planning.

My Hope Sunday

My Hope Sunday is coming up on March 8, and we are asking every member to participate intentionally.

Each member is encouraged to:

Commit to inviting at least one unbeliever or unchurched person
Write down the name(s) of those you are praying for and inviting
Submit those names next Sunday

If you attend virtually, you can submit your names through the Contact Us form and select “My Hope Sunday” as the subject.

On that Sunday, we will clearly and joyfully share our hope in Jesus Christ. Begin inviting your guests this week and pray for open hearts and divine appointments.

Leading up to My Hope Sunday, we will be sharing testimonies of hope—real stories of God’s faithfulness.

One such testimony comes from Sis. Francine Thorne, who experienced the anguish of not knowing where her son was for a long time and the joy of seeing him found. Her story is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, God remains present, active, and faithful.

Hope is not abstract—it is personal. And we look forward to sharing more stories of how God has moved in the lives of His people.

Watoto Neighbourhood Tour

We are honored to host the Watoto Neighbourhood Tour this Friday at 7:00 PM.

This inspiring evening will feature stories of hope, healing, empowerment, and transformation from mothers in Uganda and South Sudan whose lives have been changed by the love of Jesus. Their testimonies are living proof that the gospel is at work around the world.

We encourage you to invite friends, family, and neighbors to join us for this powerful night. We will also receive a love offering to support Watoto’s ongoing mission and ministry.

Let’s come together to celebrate what God has done—and what He continues to do—through His people globally.

Church Family Meeting

All members are asked to remain after the service today for our Church Family Meeting. This will be a in important meeting for vision, unity, and celebration as we move forward together in ministry for 2026..

Minnesota School Shooting, Music Ministry Recruitment, Ark Encounter Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/31)

Minnesota School Shooting Our hearts are heavy over the tragic school and church shooting in Minneapolis at Annunciation Catholic School, where two children lost their lives and many others—some as young as six—are recovering from serious injuries. Sadly, we couldn't get through a full week of traditional school before something like this happens. In this time of profound sorrow, let us hold close in prayer the grieving parents, families, and the entire Annunciation community. Though we cannot fully comprehend their pain, we can stand alongside them in faith, offering compassion, and intercession. May God bring comfort to those who mourn, healing to the wounded, and peace to a terrified community. Of course, a mass shooting always brings up the issue for stricter gun laws. I agree we do need good legislation and sensible gun laws because it is the government's responsibility to protect its citizens. Ultimately, that will not solve our problem. For a country that has been ...
