Care Group - Brenda & Philip Janz
Meeting Times: Wednesday at 7:30 pm
|
Location: Mission area

We want to be a community of believers that build upon a foundation of love, trust and openness, extending our hands not only to each other, but also to those around us. We want to, at any given moment, be ready to reach out in the spirit of servanthood to those that God places in our lives, and in so doing, foster the Father's love.
Practically, we fellowship together on Wednesday's at 7:30 p.m. by praying for one another, worshiping together, and simply being friends. We occasionally teach on thematic subjects that we feel God is leading us to do. We also encourage each other to listen to what God is saying, not only to individuals in the group, but also what He is saying to our church.

Any mildly hard-core mountain bikers are invited to get together for some rides, locally and beyond. This will most likely be a sporadic thing, so give me your email address and I'll let you know what we're up to. We may do a combination of Sunday afternoons at Ledgeview (Local), Saturday mornings and/or afternoons ad the Woodlot (past Mission), and even an overnight or weekend to Whistler! "Mildly hard-core" means that we're not doing Mill Lake paved trails or gravel trails, but rather mild to intense downhill and cross country riding. Helmets mandatory! Feel free to call or email Kevin kevin@abbotsfordvineyard.com for more info.
