Time is always slipping through our fingers, no matter how tightly we try to hold it. In Ecclesiastes 3, we are invited to face the beauty and the ache of living in seasons we do not control. This message explores why joy never lasts as long as we want it to, why hardship feels endless when we are in it, and why our hearts keep longing for something more. You will be reminded that God is not trapped in time the way we are, but faithfully at work within every moment of our lives. From hourglasses to seasons, from joy and grief to love and loss, this sermon asks what it looks like to live wisely while the sand is still falling. If you have ever wondered whether your time, your season, or your life truly matters, this message is for you.

Please pray for Pastor Steve and the team as they prepare for Sunday's service.

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 ESV

As we enter the new year, we continue to pray that we can equip our congregation to take their next step with Jesus, which we know will impact our lives, and our community. We have designed this simple engagement survey as a way of identifying some of the key demographics in our church, so we can be better positioned to serve your spiritual needs. You can complete our engagement survey through one of four ways:

1. You can click the link below right now and complete the survey online, through our church center app.
2. You can wait until Sunday, when you will receive this same link in an email from Andrew Headley( mailer@churchcenteronline.com), and you can complete it then.
3. The survey will also be embedded in the body of the email you receive on Sunday, so you can reply directly to the email, and fill out the survey in your email reply (This option is for those who have trouble using the link).
4. You can fill out a paper copy of the survey on Sunday, following the service (located at the giving desk).

Newcomers are invited to join us this Sunday, January 25th after the service for a free lunch! Join us in the Fellowship Hall to hear about our vision, next steps, and how you can connect into the CRBC family.

On Sunday, March 1st at 6:30 PM, we are gathering to celebrate God's provision and look ahead to 2026! Everyone is welcome to attend, but it is especially important for members. A Zoom option will be available for those who are unable to attend in person.

Small Groups are a key aspect of our church community. Most meet weekly in the home of a group member (usually the leader's home). These groups are an amazing way to connect and grow in your faith.

You can join a group through our website, or by contacting Josh at josh@crbaptist.bc.ca.
