Join Us This Sunday – Experience the Holistic Touch of Jesus

Sometimes the Bible surprises us – like the moment Jesus heals Peter’s mother-in-law. It’s a small story with a huge message: Jesus cares about every person and every need. This Sunday at Kootenay Christian Fellowship, we invite you to discover how one touch from Jesus can change everything.

We’ll explore how three gospel accounts – Matthew, Mark, and Luke – each paint a fuller picture of this miraculous healing. In them, we see the holistic touch of Jesus: He’s not distant or indifferent. He touches, He helps, He rebukes the fever. He gets close. And healing begins.

Jesus doesn’t stop there. One miracle sparked a movement. That evening, the whole town showed up. Healing broke out. Lives were changed. A revival began. Could it happen again? We believe it can – starting with you.

Come hear a message of faith, healing, and hope. Learn how the church’s mandate is to not only pray, but to walk with people in their journey – body, soul, and spirit. Let’s believe together that one miracle can be the beginning of many more.

This isn’t about religion. It’s about relationship – with Jesus and with each other. Don’t miss your moment. Don’t miss your miracle.

Looking forward to seeing you this Sunday at 10:30 am. Pastor Jim Reimer

Summer Retreat 2025 – It’s Time to get Registered!

Are you longing for long, warm days spent enjoying Kootenay Lake-splashing, paddling, floating, wading, walking forest trails, digging your toes in the sand, reading a good book, napping after a good meal, great inspiration from the evening services and time spent after with friends by the fire or playing cards. Come for adventure and chilling out - consider booking a week at The Harbour at Riondel for a vacation this year. Aug 18 – 22.
