Vision

As we start to collect candy and donations for our annual Trunk-or-Treat there may be some questions about why we are participating in Halloween. Well, the biggest thing for me is that I am not willing to allow the enemy to lay claim to any day of the year. Oct 31st is a day that God has made and I will not surrender it to darkness. Trunk-or-Treat, for me, is not about participating in Halloween, it is about reclaiming it and using the schemes of the enemy to backfire against him and reach people with love and the work of Jesus. If we hide on October 31st, we won't rescue anyone. But maybe, just maybe, we can reach someone we would never have otherwise been able to reach by doing Trunk-or-Treat. I have no interest in glorifying evil, but I am very committed to saving people.

Small Groups

Wins

1.  AWC - It was great having a couple of our Global Partners with us this Sunday and again on Tuesday, which went so well in large measure due to the great leadership of Tena F. who is driving a renewed passion with our Missions Department!

2.  Connection - Pastor Emma is already prepping for ministry in Truro and has been working on new ideas and solutions to some of the complications we face, even though she doesn't technically start with us until the end of the month!

3. AWC - I had an excellent meeting with our Small Group Leaders last night, and took time to hear from our Community Care Team on how we can help our small group members live out a community of care with each other!

4. Connection - Last week someone had a concern about something at Connection and they didn't resort to gossip but instead reached out to me directly to share their concern and find a solution! What a privelege it is to help the people of God navigate concerns, conflict and questions when they do it from a heart of honour!
