Warm Up Winter
WARM UP WINTER
Let’s Spread Some Warmth🧣
As the weather cools down and our coffee station moves indoors, it’s a great time to think about how we can share warmth in practical ways. 🤲
For the entire month of May we’re collecting winter essentials for U-Turn’s new city location as they support those experiencing homelessness. Think blankets, warm clothes, and shoes. 🧣
Drop your donations behind the media desk with OPs at the back of the main venue. Every item makes a difference. 🙌
Advance Week
We’ve got something really special coming up, Advance Week, a focused time of connection, encouragement, and shared mission with our wider Advance family of churches. 🤲
From the 22nd to the 25th of May, we’ll be hosting Greg and Wendy Heasley along with their base staff team from Covenant Grace in PE. They’ll be spending a few days with us—interacting with our team, sharing insights, and strengthening relationships between our churches. We’re also thrilled to have Greg preaching on Sunday the 25th, and we’re eager to hear what God has put on his heart for our church community. 🌱
Then from the 26th to the 29th of May, our own base team will be heading up to the Advance Africa Conference—an incredible opportunity to connect with other leaders, be equipped, and look ahead together at what God is doing across the continent. 🙌
To finish off Advance Week, we’ll be welcoming Samuel Boateng on Sunday the 1st of June. Sam leads Redeemer City Church in Ghana and brings a deep passion for church planting and leadership—so don’t miss it! ⚡
It’s shaping up to be a rich and meaningful week—full of opportunities to grow in friendship, mission, and vision together, and we’d love you to be part of it! ☀️
