Our Summer Kids Program runs from June 28 to September 5. Children from age 3 to grade 6 will gather in the Godly Play room to watch a video and do activities.

Our church is going to Katepwa Lake Camp on the weekend of September 11-13! Accommodations are available in cabins or the lodge, or on the grounds if you want to bring a tent or a trailer. Details are on the paper registration forms in the sanctuary and on the online form. Talk to Katherine V or Debbie P with questions, ideas, or to volunteer. The last day to register is Sunday September 6, but please register as soon as you decide you are coming, so we can plan appropriately. Please note that this is for our church family, not just people with young children. Everyone of every age is welcome to come.

Our worship service on September 13 will be out at the camp. You don’t need to register unless you want to come early and have breakfast there ($10 per person). Otherwise, just come! Here is a Google map with directions to the camp.

On Wednesday September 23 at 7 pm, our church will be hosting an evening presentation and conversation by the Canadian Bible Society on the topic of “Do Canadian Christians Read and Engage the Bible?” It will be based on the results of a recent survey by Cardus and the Angus Reid Foundation. Other churches have been invited and we will provide refreshments.

Help Wanted Section

Thanks to everyone who volunteers with our ministries! We believe that God provides each of us with gifts we are to use to build up his church. Talk to Pastor Ryan if you would like to explore how you can be involved in the opportunities below or in any other way.

Our church lawn is doing very well this year with all the rain! But now it needs to be mowed. If you can help, please sign up for a week (or more) in the sanctuary. Many thanks to those who have already signed up! The key to the shed is in the office, so call the office to arrange to pick it up.

If your children or youth (ages 2 to Grade 12) attend Sunday morning programs at Argyle, please register them if you haven’t already. You can do it online or on a paper form, available at the back of the sanctuary or from your child’s teacher. Note that if you have registered your child in a previous year, you only need to update the form, not fill it all in again. Thanks for helping us keep your children and young adults safe and appropriately cared for.

Opportunities to Serve

Our church joins First Baptist Church four times a year in preparing and serving lunches to hungry people downtown. As part of the Sandwich Outreach, we also donate useful items such as disposable razors, band-aids, soap, toothbrushes, laundry detergent, feminine hygiene supplies, toilet paper, warm mitts and socks, and so on. There is a donation bin at the back of the church to collect the items for next time. Thank you for your generosity.
