Parents MUST sign in and sign out their children, but we will have activity packs for kids ages 7-12 years old that they can retrieve from an usher after the young ones are dismissed.

SMALL GROUPS - As we get into summer we would like to encourage you to consider joining a small group this fall. We are always in need of leaders and hosts and we believe firmly that the most effective way to build community and to grow spiritually is through connecting in a small group. Please speak to a LT member!

MINARD GO FUND ME - Paul Minard (who used to attend CFBC) was diagnosed with prostate cancer 10 years ago and fought hard for healing and remission. In the last few months the cancer has come back and is now in other areas of the body. The doctors have given a prognosis of two years. It’s very hard news, but ultimately we know Jesus is the author and finisher of the story, and trust him to continue to weave goodness, hope and beauty into what’s ahead.

CFBC NEWSLETTER - If you know of someone who is new to the church, ask them if they signed up for our newsletter? Which can help them stay up to date with the church events and updates. Let them know they can sign up by talking to Chelsea Martin or by emailing office@centralfellowship.ca 

MEMBERSHIP  - If you are interested in membership or have questions as to what membership is all about, please speak with someone from the Leadership Team. To put it briefly, membership fulfils our obligation as a non-profit, but more importantly it speaks to our commitment to one another and allows each member to hold one another accountable to biblical principles. 

GIVING - Generosity has little to do with how much you have.  It has everything to do with the attitude of your heart and your faithful obedience to God. Generosity is one of those perspective-altering things…when we focus on the needs of others, we become less selfish and happier.  When you only think about the things you don’t have or how miserable things are, it’s tough not to feel bad.  But when you think about God’s goodness and grace, despite our own mess-ups, our perspective changes. You can also give via eTransfers or online at Give Online.
