The familiarity of a regular schedule is part of the charm of the fall season. A return to school for students, a return to regular work schedules for those who took summer holidays, and a return to sports or community group events all contribute to a sense of peace in the familiar.  This fall at Centerpoint we are also getting back into the regular rhythms of church life. We pray that as part of our church family, you will be able to participate in or even serve in the many areas of ministry and service that we have available. May Jesus be near us all as we draw close together with him at the center!

Planning for Christmas has already been underway for quite some time. This spring, our writing team began work on our Christmas drama. Practices will begin in earnest soon and we look forward to hearing from the Holy Spirit as he uses the creativity and talent that our drama team represents. We also encourage you to take the opportunity to engage and be involved in our Christmas plans as there will be need for volunteers for the Audio/Video/Lighting (AVL) as well as help with costumes, children’s choir assistants, and the Christmas decorating event after the service on November 22.

On November 29th, the church will be hosting our annual “First Advent” event. It will be a time of craft stations for the kids, snacks and refreshments for adults and children alike, and a time of fellowship and celebration. Everyone is invited and this is a great opportunity to bring a friend to church as well!

Women’s study: October 1-November 5 (Thursdays at 7 pm at the church) is a bible study based on the theme (and book by Jennie Allen) titled “The lie you don’t know you believe.” It tackles the core lie sabotaging many of our lives and explores the Scriptures to follow God’s plan for how to be truly free.

Women’s night out: On October 3rd, the ladies of our church had a great time Pumpkin Carving! There is also a Christmas party being planned for December 5th. We encourage you to stay connected to the details by following our website or app for more details to come.

Men’s study: September 22-December 8 (Tuesdays at 7 pm at the church) is s bible study based on the theme (and book by Henry Blackaby) titled, “Experiencing God.” It explores how we can know and discern the will of God by developing a love relationship with Him.  By following Scriptural examples and teachings this study shows how every saint is called to this journey of faith and intimacy with Jesus.

Our youth (aged 13-18) are meeting on Wednesdays from 7-9 to grow together in Jesus. Weekly events involve a time of bible study/games and (once per month usually) a fun event outside the church walls. The highlights for this fall are the Bible Study from Francis Chan called “The hearts of God” and a planned outing to Amazing Corn (Oct 14th).  Check out our upcoming youth events here ↓

Our Prayer and Praise evenings (called Summit) are hosted every two months at the church. It is a time of singing praises to God (about 15 minutes) and corporate prayer (about 45 minutes), with a theme developed for each event. The evening is open to people of all ages so we encourage you to join us at our next Summit on Sunday, November 15th at 6:30 pm here at the church.

In a world searching for authenticity, the Bible has a timely word for us all to hear about what genuine Christianity really entails. Growing in our faith means touching base with what it truly means to be a Christ-follower and a church that pleases the heart of our Saviour.

This 4-part series will explore the power that is found in the names given to Jesus Christ. Join us as we explore the Messiah’s names through the Old and New Testaments.
