Progress Update – October 2nd, 2026

The heavy rainstorm on June 18th damaged the Sanctuary’s roof and ceiling. Emergency repair work commenced immediately and has since been completed. The sanctuary reopened on August 15th.
The repair work and relevant expenses totalled $48,000.
We thank everyone for working collaboratively during the disruption to keep planned activities going as much as possible and to help complete the repair work smoothly.
During this time, we are still negotiating insurance claims. Please continue to pray for this matter.

Facilities and Venue Booking – We are switching to use the Church Center App for church-related facility booking requests. Please submit your request using this link.

All congregation bookings for personal use will be considered a rental and subject to rental fees. For ministry bookings, please clearly indicate the supervising pastor who provides direction and nurturing of this ministry. Please contact your lead pastor if you have any questions concerning the supervising pastor of a ministry.

A reminder to please park in the designated lots (highlighted in purple) to avoid having your car towed by the neighbouring buildings. Please refer to the diagram below.

Prayer

Pray that the Thanksgiving luncheon will be a meaningful time of fellowship and connection among congregants. Pray for the Family Fair preparations, that everything goes smoothly and that friends and neighbours are open to invitations to participate. Pray that the Gathering Table will provide a welcoming space for people to connect, build relationships, and grow in community.

Mandarin Congregation

Pray for Brother and Seminary Student Bill Wang as he joins the pastoral team as an intern, for the Thanksgiving and newcomers event on October 11, the Amy Sand and Clay Music Evangelistic Concert on October 23, and the preparations for the November 28 ministry workers retreat.

Cantonese Congregation

Please pray for the Quarter Three Sunday School classes and talks, that God would grant wisdom to the teachers and receptive hearts to participants as they are equipped to bear witness for the Lord. Pray also for the “Under the Rainbow” evangelistic meeting on October 17th, that God would use the gathering to spread the Gospel. Finally, pray for those baptized and received into membership in September, that the Lord would deepen their thirst for knowing Him and strengthen them to be witnesses for Christ.

105 Gibson

We give thanks to God for the opportunity to serve our neighbourhood by offering 105 free haircuts on October 17th, and for His grace as we celebrate our 13th anniversary, bringing generations together by welcoming local seniors and young children into our community. Pray that the Lord will watch over the entire event, guide all the preparations, and ensure everything runs smoothly, allowing His love and grace to be experienced by all who attend.

What's Happening Today

We have Pre-Service Prayer every Sunday from 9:20 to 9:40 am in the library. This is a time to pray for the morning service, including the worship, the sermon, and the life of our church. Everyone is welcome, and all ages are invited. Join us as we prepare our hearts and commit the service to the Lord together.

Name Tag Sunday is today! This is a great opportunity for our English congregation to get to know one another better. As you enter the sanctuary, you’ll be invited to wear a name tag to help everyone connect by name. Let’s make it easier to remember and greet each other warmly!

There will be no CE classes today.

The Connection Table
Each Sunday, special tables will be reserved in the gym as a relaxed, welcoming space for anyone to meet others, build friendships, and grow together in community. Whether you’re new or have been attending for some time, we invite you to join us for fellowship and conversation.
If you are new, we encourage you to first stop by the Newcomers Welcome Booth to receive a special welcome gift, then come by the Connection Table to connect with others.
We look forward to getting to know you and helping everyone feel at home!

Our Christmas baptism service will be on December 13th. If you are interested in getting baptized, please fill out the form here by October 25th.
