Our church is going to Katepwa Lake Camp on the weekend of September 11-13! Our worship service on September 13 will be at 11 a.m. out at the camp, NOT in our church. Here is a Google map with directions to the camp. Everyone is welcome to come!

This Sunday September 20 is Kickoff Sunday! Our regular Sunday morning children’s and youth classes happen after dismissal in the worship service:

• Godly Play (ages 2-Kindergarten)
• Argyle City (Grades 1-5)
• Argyle Suburbs (Grades 6-12)

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

Pastor Ryan’s Sunday morning Bible study starts on September 20 in the church library with a dive into the book of Ecclesiastes.

On Wednesday September 23 at 7 pm, our church will host 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.

All men are invited to to church on Saturday September 26 at 2 pm to talk about what Men’s Ministry could look like this year. Bring your thoughts, ideas, and wishes.

Pastor Ryan will be starting a book study in October to go through three books by Carmen Joy Imes: Bearing God’s Name, Being God’s Image, and Becoming God’s Family. If you would like to participate, please let him know if you would prefer to meet in person or online, and which days and times would work for you. You can talk to him or sign up at the back of the sanctuary. The books are available in various formats online at Amazon, Chapters, and other stores. You can also special-order print copies from Pass the Word bookstore in Regina.

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.

Many thanks to everyone who has signed up to mow the lawn this summer! The schedule is mostly full, but there are still a couple of spots open in the fall if you are able to help. The key to the shed is in the office, so come in during the day or call the office to arrange to pick it up.

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.

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.
