Blue Christmas 

Christmas isn’t the most wonderful time of the year for everyone. In fact, for those in pain, this season can intensify the pain.

Join us on Monday, December 13th at 7:00 pm for an in-person service which will include scripture, music and prayers. We’ll be asking God to bring His comforting presence to our grief and loss, remembering that God is with us in our pain.

Registration for this evening is required—visit spac.ca/bluechristmas. 

Millbourne Christmas Photos

This Christmas season we are offering an evening of Christmas cheer for the community of Millbourne on December 13th and 15th at 6:30 pm! This event will have both indoor and outdoor components.

Volunteers will be helping inside with a Christmas activity and a photo booth. Outside we will have firepits, hot chocolate, and cookies. This is a great serving opportunity for all ages. Come join the fun and Christmas spirit in Millbourne. Hope to see you there! spac.ca/millbourne

Family Advent Kit

Advent is an opportunity to pause and reflect on the birth of Jesus and centre your home around the good news of our long awaited Saviour. Before the calendar begins to overflow, make a plan to set aside a few minutes each day to remember and celebrate this Advent season by engaging in activities, prayer, and intentional conversations about Jesus as a family.

Go to spac.ca/kids to download a digital copy for yourself!

We Care Christmas Bags

Sign up online to pick up a bag from the church office and fill it for someone in need this Christmas! This project is done in partnership with our We Care ministry.  

If you are thinking of doing something together with your Life Group, maybe consider filling a bag or two! Find out more information at spac.ca/wecarebags.

Serving

As we look towards building new teams for the fall there are many opportunities to get involved. Go to spac.ca/serve to learn more.

We believe that actively serving others brings us closer to God and reminds us to love like he does. Through serving, you'll use the unique ways that God has gifted you to help create welcoming environments where he can change lives.
