But I can't sing...Christmas Choir Q&A
I am so excited that people are talking about the opportunity to get together and sing songs of the Christmas season. Below are some of the questions I have been asked and the answers. Hope it will help you decide if the Christmas Choir is for you this year! Q: I can't sing but I love Christmas music, can I come and listen? A: This excerpt from page 3 of Keith and Kristyn Getty's book "Sing: How Worship Transforms Your Life, Family and Church" addresses this concern so w

Here’s what we learned: 60% of respondents said they already have and use WhatsApp. 20% said they have it installed but rarely use it. 20

Young Adults Sunday: Don’t Miss It
On Sunday, November 2 , we’ll have a very special service at South Calgary Community Church — our Young Adults will be leading the entire morning!

This will be the second time we’ve had a Young Adults–led service, and our plan is to make this a yearly tradition. It’s exciting to see how God is working among the young people at S

We’re grateful to have already served several families, and it’s encouraging to see this ministry in action as we care for one another in practical ways.

Strike...STRIKE!
Well, the teachers' strike is still going strong, so how about we take advantage of the extra time off school for the kids? If you have kids in school right now, the teachers' strike has likely brought some extra flexibility and freedom to your daily schedule (Good or Bad? You decide). There's no school to keep them occupied with during the day, so why don't we do something fun with the unexpected time off? BUT, this isn't just about fun, it's about maintaining their educatio
