The Blessing of Easter

What does Easter mean to you? To some it is a welcome holiday after a dreary snow filled winter. Speaking of snow, here in BC, we didn’t get enough of it; similarly, the human condition, as it appears we never get enough of what we want. If you are a skier, you want more snow. If you hate driving in it, you want less snow. And even a little is too much. Easter speaks to our insatiable desire to want more, never feeling fulfilled, and that awful sense of not “being enough.” Religion of every stripe tries to answer these issues, but Jesus and the Resurrection cuts through the hype, and causes a transformation to take place within. You might ask, how does the resurrection cause anything? Why is this a big deal? Well, here are some reasons:

1. It proves that Jesus can do a miracle

2. It reveals that Jesus does what he says he will do

3. It speaks that Jesus is alive and as such,

He lives to pray for me

He lives to help me in my troubles

He lives to advocate for me

He lives to speak to me

He lives to walk with me through life as my friend

He lives in me, therefor I am enough.

Join us as this Sunday we celebrate the greatest event of all time, Jesus rising from the dead.

We invite you to have a free breakfast with us at 9:45 AM, to be followed by worship and then baptism. Everyone, meaning everyone, is welcome regardless of your race, color, religion, or beliefs - Pastor Jim Reimer.

Summer Retreat 2024!

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 an adventure and chill out - consider booking a week at The Harbour at Riondel for a vacation this year.

Here is the link to the Brochure for details. Aug 19 – 23.
