Candlelight Service
Sunday, December 22 at 6pm
Join us for a special evening of peace and reflection at our Christmas Candlelight Service. Together, we’ll gather in a quieter, more contemplative way, illuminated by candlelight. Experience the beauty of ancient prayers, thoughtful quotes from great Christian thinkers, and the timeless truth of God’s Word as we reflect on the significance of that first Christmas. Of course, there will be plenty of joyful carol singing to celebrate the season. Come and be reminded of the hope and wonder of Christ’s birth in this meaningful time of worship.
To give to this year’s Advent Conspiracy, you can use cash, cheque, debit or give online.
*Please include a note for what funds are designated to Advent Conspiracy. Any unmarked funds will go towards our general fund.
Advent Conspiracy 25:40
Matthew 25:40 – Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
Advent Conspiracy has become a cherished tradition in our church—a movement that challenges us to spend less, give more, love all, and worship fully during the Christmas season. Each year, we invite our congregation to redirect a portion of their Christmas spending toward supporting a meaningful project, making a real difference in the world. Join us in celebrating Christmas with purpose, generosity, and a heart centered on Christ.
This year’s Advent Conspiracy is supporting 3 projects for our local partners; Streets Alive and the Lethbridge Soup Kitchen.
1. Restoration of Dignity Programs at Street Alive ($24,000)
Streets Alive offers compassionate programs like Foot Fridays for foot care, the P.I.N. Bank for clothing, and Care Cuts for haircuts and dignity, all aimed at restoring health, confidence, and a sense of worth to those in need. As Streets Alive moves into their new building, these funds will provide new equipment to help the success of these programs.
2. Exodus Men’s Life Recovery Program at Streets Alive($60,000)
The Exodus Men’s Life Recovery Program is a faith-centered initiative that helps men heal, rebuild relationships, and transform their lives through therapy, counseling, skill development, and spiritual growth. We are excited to see these funds used to furnish the extra rooms at the new apartment for this recovery program.
3. Lethbridge Soup Kitchen Expansion ($35,000)
As an organization, the mission of the Lethbridge Soup Kitchen is to share the love of Jesus with their homeless neighbours by providing them with hot/nutritious meals. As the Lethbridge Soup Kitchen plans for their expansion to help meet the needs of our unhoused population, these funds will support buying new equipment to furnish the expansion.
