Let’s Revitalize, Milliken!
13 This is how we know that we live in Him and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. – 1 John 4:13-16

“SetSail” VBS 2024
What an amazing week we had with VBS! It’s hard to believe it’s over, but thank you to everyone who helped! We want to give a special thanks to Jessica and Stevenson Padmore as they are truly a blessing! Thank you for all you’ve done! For all the volunteers, your hard-work has paid off because we can see how much our children have enjoyed the time while learning about their relationship with God. Don’t forget to stay behind for a simple BBQ to celebrate.

We will need to register to go and time is drawing close! If you want to sign up to attend, we need you to register no later than Aug 25, so that we can determine how many people will be joining us.

Then join us on Sunday, September 22, for our World of Worship service, as we join together in worship honouring the cultures and languages represented in our church.
Interested Presenters: If you are interested in creating a booth to represent your ethnicity/culture, please see sister Desiree after service, so that we can reserve space and resources.

Lead “Family” Open Invitation
We are continually looking for family units, meaning you may not have to be related by blood, but by association, to lead the Church in worship. Even if you have participated before, we welcome your participation. Please contact Pastor Stephen to let him know your availability so that we can plan ahead.

Have you been looking for a way to serve? Our Worship Arts team needs you! We are looking for servant leaders who are willing to serve on our Sunday Morning Worship and Audio Visual Teams. If you have the ability to sing, play an instrument (any instrument), or would like to learn how to serve in the Sound booth to learn various skills including sound board training, video/camera operation and working with Worship Tools to present words and scripture on the screen for worship service, please see Pastor Aza or Brother Chris.
Here are 3 reasons why you should join:
- A place to develop your gifts and be equipped to serve.
- Wonderful team of believers who support each other and pray for each other.
- Youth Alert! If you are looking to gain credits toward your volunteer service, this is a great way for you to earn those credits!
