Announcements

Many of you have asked about a study group.  I am suggesting a 3-step process:

  1. If you are interested, please contact Maxine at the church office, 204-534-6347, (leave a message if needed) and get on the list.  Please leave your name, phone number and email address.
  2. I will set aside Tuesday, November 3, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. in the CE room, for the beginning of a 5-week study, November 3 to December 1, using the small church issue of Broadview, that we have in our office.  We will also share other ideas and thoughts for adult faith growth.
  3. If you are unable to come November 3, let the office know and we will look for alternative times and places
