This week we'll look at a short portion of James' letter that has a lot to say. James speaks of God as the Father of lights, who showers us with every good and perfect gift from above, starting with our life itself, brought forth by the very will of God. So we'll consider God's gifts to us in light of his master plan, and how those gifts help us to grow toward maturity. Indeed, in the midst of all that seems chaotic around us, God is moving us forward to prepare us for a new creation!

We wanted to pass along this media report from Strathcona Regional District. In it, they praised our church for their hospitality during the recent emergency from a mudslide that left many people without homes. How wonderful that we were able to house and help those in distress. May God get all the glory!

The youth conference this year was a major success! Our church sent down the biggest group on the Island, with 22 students and 4 leaders. We heard dozens of wonderful stories of deep connection, confession, and encounters with God. Many of the youth are expressing a new passion for Jesus, and it's contagious. Look out for this next generation of disciples! 

We are devastated by the loss of life in Turkey and Syria due to the recent earthquakes.
