Light House Community Church 

Sarnia, ON 

 

Summer is in full swing here in Sarnia and we've finally recovered from hosting the AGM!

Some highlights from the last couple months included:
- our annual kids camp
- celebrating our grads and our intern, Kyra Anderson
- our annual "At the Movies" summer series
- a group of men and Lighthouse Student Ministry doing a weeklong wilderness canoe trip in the Boundary Waters of northern Minnesota

Sarnia Men Wilderness Trip

While summer is far from over, we're beginning to gear up for the fall. Please pray for:
- our Summer Baptism event on August 14. 9 people including a family of 4 will all be baptized in Lake Huron! Praise God for new life in Christ!
- healthy expressions of community through small groups and in particular, the second year of our Emerging Journey Experience
- new opportunities to be good neighbors both here on Parker St. and wherever we live
- a renewed sense of investment, ownership, and passion for volunteers as we head into the fall
- our pastors and staff
- Sarnia and Southwestern Ontario as we seek to expand God's Kingdom in this part of the world

Sarnia kids

Please pray that our community would live more fully into our vision to LOVE God, LIVE in community and SERVE the world!

ECCC NEWSLETTER ~ We need YOU!

 

In an effort to keep our community of churches connected and informed about the various ministries and people of the ECCC, we are hoping to begin (again) an ECCC newsletter. In the past The Messenger was the primary way of communicating the goings on around the Canada Covenant Church.  

 

In an effort to be cost effective and environmentally friendly, we won't be sending out paper copies, but will post the newsletter online and email out instead.*

 

For our trial run we would love to gather submissions on the theme: Fellowship of Believers. This is one of the Covenant Affirmations and was the focus of this year's ECC Annual Meeting.  

 

We welcome your stories, articles, poetry, photographs and anything else you can come up with!

 

Written pieces must be no more than 500 words. Articles or stories exceeding 500 words, must first be approved by Julia Stein, Editor. Please send your submission in .doc format.  

 

Photographs must be sent  in .jpg format.  

 

All submissions are due by August 15, 2011 to CanadaECC@gmail.com  

 

 *We will send printed versions by special request for those who are unable to view the newsletter online.
