From May 18-20, Pastor Ryan, Cindy and Sharon will be away at our denomination’s Ordination Examinations. The office will be closed on these days.

Come and help us clean out winter and get the church ready for summer on May 23 from 9 to noon. We will be preparing the garden beds for planting, raking the lawn, and freshening up the interior of the church.

May 24 is Baptism Sunday! Come and celebrate as six people declare their allegiance to Jesus.

Sharon is taking a break from May 21 to June 3. She will be back in the office on June 4.

Pastor Ryan will (most likely) be away from the office on June 1-3.

The next Men’s Breakfast is Saturday June 6 at 9:30 a.m. at Nicky’s Cafe (corner of Winnipeg and 8th Ave.) Talk to Pastor Ryan or sign up at the back of the church if you would like to go.

The Regina Look Up Celebration with Will Graham takes place on Friday June 12 in the evening and Saturday June 13 in the afternoon. Come for live music and a message of hope in Jesus. The event is free, so think about who you might invite.

Our outdoor service and church picnic will be on June 14, weather permitting! We will meet in Kinsman Park behind the church (off Kings Road and north) at 10:30 for worship, then share food together. If you could help by setting up and taking down tables (from the church), cooking the hamburgers and hotdogs on the barbeque, or helping lead the songs, please talk to Pastor Ryan. More details to come.

Our next Praise & Prayer night is Saturday June 20 at 6:30 pm. Come and worship God and pray for our various communities, our families, and each other.

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.

We are looking for one or more people to plan lunches for meetings or other church events. Other volunteers will help do the work; this is just to do the planning. The office will look after communications so people can sign up to help out.

Wei He has done a beautiful job of decorating our sanctuary. But she will be stepping down later this year and we will need one or more people to take over. There are lots of decorating supplies available and a small budget for more.

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

The Options Pregnancy Centre Baby Bottle Campaign runs from Mother’s Day (May 10) to Father’s Day (June 21). Pick up a baby bottle if you would like to donate, or you can donate in other ways if you like. If you have questions, Lorrie will be happy to answer them.

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.
