Pastor Ryan is leading a book study through three books by Carmen Joy Imes in this order: Bearing God’s Name, Being God’s Image, and Becoming God’s Family. The online study takes place Wednesdays at 7 pm on zoom. Contact the office for the link. The in-person study is on Thursdays in the church library.
It’s time once again to update the church directory. Please check your listing in the printed copy at the back of the sanctuary on Sunday and either make corrections or initial to confirm that it is correct. If you are not in the directory but attend our church regularly and would like to be in the directory, please fill out a Contact Card with your information and put it in the offering box. If you prefer, you can make changes or add yourself using the contact form on our website.
On Sunday November 8, we will celebrate CBWC Sunday. CBWC is our denomination, the Canadian Baptists of Western Canada. The (video) sermon will be given by the new Executive Minister, Clint Mix.
Pastor Ryan will be away at the Banff Pastors’ Conference November 9-13. Please contact a deacon if you need assistance during this time.
Our Fall Congregational Meeting and Lunch will be on Sunday November 22, downstairs after church. Sign up at the back of the sanctuary if you can bring food. Details about the meeting will be coming shortly in the service and through email.
Our next sandwich outreach at First Baptist Church will be on Saturday November 28. Sign up at the back of the church if you can help shop for supplies ahead or time, or if you can help make and serve lunch to hungry people in the downtown part of Regina on the Saturday. Donations of items to give away are also welcome (see below).
Opportunities to Serve
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 joins First Baptist Church four times a year in preparing and serving lunches to hungry people downtown. We also donate useful items such as
- toothbrushes and toothpaste
- alcohol-free mouthwash
- bars of hand soap
- deodorant
- disposable razors
- band-aids
- powdered or sheet laundry detergent (1/4 cup portions)
- feminine hygiene supplies
- Tums/Rolaids
- shampoo
- toilet paper
- NEW warm mitts, toques and socks, and so on.
- NO used clothing, please.
There is a donation bin at the back of the church to collect the items. Thank you for your generosity.
Do you love to decorate? This is for you! We need someone (or a group) to change the sanctuary decorations for fall, Christmas/winter, Easter, spring/summer.
