SEPTEMBER CRC PASTOR'S EXCHANGE AND COMBINED EVENING SERVICE SEPTEMBER 29TH

Four local Christian Reformed Churches (Frankford, Bloomfield, Brighton and Ebenezer) are reinitiating the pastor's exchange starting September 8th.  This year's series theme will focus on God's call for unity in Christ for the sake of the Gospel Mission.  The 4-week series will culminate with a combined evening service with the same theme at Ebenezer on September 29th that will feature participation from all four churches.  Also throughout the September series, the four churches will engage in a special fundraising effort to raise money to support the Pregnancy Care Centre in Quinte West, specifically outfitting them with office furniture and laptops for 4 offices (4 churches, 4 offices!!).  More information will follow as September approaches.  Please pray for a spirit of collaboration and that God prepare in our hearts a hunger to dwell in unity as we seek to represent Him to a broken world that so desperately needs to hear the message of God's love, forgiveness and new life.
