A couple things that have come up the past few days are the power of prayer and the power of hearing God speak.

Healthy relationships are never one-way streets.  They don't work well with just one person listening and never speaking, and they don't work well with one person speaking and never listening. Prayer works the same way because it is a relationship more than anything else.

Talking to God isn't just talking at, it is talking with. You talking and listening to God, and God talking and listening to you.

When that relationship is developed it unlocks some incredible things in our souls and is able to strike to the heart of issues and make miraculous changes in our lives. 

I hope you are taking the time to be honest and vulnerable with God, and also being quiet enough to hear Him, and notice Him.

No, you might not hear an audible voice, but you can grow in your ability to notice Him.  It can be kind of like the awareness that the humidity or temperature in a room has changed, or a simple clarity or peace that settles on you. 

That kind of relationship changes lives.

1. Our building team is preparing for a work day, but the team has already been busy working on projects here and there, with Wes (the department head) actively getting people involved in projects!

2. One of our teens is now ready not simply to help with Konnect Kids but to start leading the Bible Adventure Kids! Plus, we need to split one group of kids into two groups because there are so many of them!

3. With the Fall rhythm starting again I am starting to have deeper conversations with people in our church, and just this week I have been able to have two incredible conversations around the influence of the Holy Spirit and the freedom He brings to us. Really incredible conversations!

When we feel like we have gone down a path so far that it startles us, we sometimes turn around and think, "how did I even get here?" It's hard to nail down where we even started down those paths and it seemed so natural to continue following it. That's what sin does. When we read the letter Paul wrote to the church in Rome we see that he lays out the path sin takes us on, and he pinpoints what starts it all.

Sin always pushes the boundaries

Romans 1:21-32

We have a number of projects, updates and maitenance details that need to be tackled this Fall and we need your help! 

Some projects are more involved, needing an expert and some people to lend a hand. Other projects are simpler requiring anybody who is willing to do the work.

We will be getting pizza and beverages for those who come to help.  

Thanks for putting this in your calendar and planning to lend a hand on Saturday Sept 20th!

Konnect the Tots is a playgroup for parents and kids that takes place every Thursday from 9:30-11:30 at Amherst Wesleyan Church (6 Maltby Ct). There are toys and activities set up in the basement of the church for kids to play with! Everyone is welcome! (Enter through the parking lot side door!)

Sunday Sept 21st we will be having a special extended service that goes an extra 30min longer. This allows us to do some special things we don't normally get to do on Sunday!

Join a night of worship for the whole family!

Our Worship Team will be putting together a special evening where we can gather to worship God as young and old together. 

A monthly time to learn, hear testimonies, grow in your faith, find support, discover opportunities for mission work and how to share your faith.

This month we will be spending time in worship and prayer, learning about missions and connecting with one of our Missionary couples.

This couple will be sharing on Sunday Sept 28th as well!

Have you chosen to follow Jesus as your King and as your Saviour?

Have you been baptized?

On Sunday October 5th we will be holding our annual Baptism Sunday which is an incredible time to get baptized!

If you are interested in getting baptized, or would like to know more about what it is or why it matters, you can talk to Pastor Evan or Pastor Brad or even reply to this email!

Open to all who are interested. Discover practical leadership principles to apply to your context. Free coffee and snacks provided!

When we update and properly maintain our facility it allows us to do more ministry longer.

Join us as the Church comes together as ONE with other congregations from across our region in prayer for 12 uninterrupted hours.
