The NSAC Environmental Justice Community Action Group is inviting everyone to Try Something New This Christmas! 

This December, join us each Wednesday on our NSAC social media channels, as the EJCAG shares short video clips featuring ideas for how we can incorporate creation care into our Christmas gifting and festivities.

The videos will focus around four themes:

• DIY and Sustainable Gift Wrapping
• Sustainable Gifts and Vendors
• Charitable Gifts
• Experiences

We hope these videos will provide you with ideas and inspiration for ways you can care for your family, friends, neighbours and planet this holiday season!

Hey Kids! 

We can't wait to hear your beautiful voices singing our three Christmas carols this year!  You'll be VIDEO RECORDED on Sunday, December 5th beginning at 12:20 pm in the Main Sanctuary.  Please be early so we can start ON TIME and wear your favourite Christmas outfit or colours.  

Please practice the songs so you'll be happy and relaxed when you are on stage.  The links for all three action songs are below.

Let's make a joyful noise to the Lord together!

Parents: The video will be shown in the adult services on December 12th. Enjoy!

Kirsten works as the Program Resource Coordinator for Journey Canada, an organization that exists to give people a safe and spiritually supportive place to help them get in touch with their hearts and emotions and integrate their beliefs with their feelings and experiences. 

Kirsten recently travelled to Lithuania to help with training the Journey team there, her first time travelling since covid began.

To learn more about Kirsten and her ministry with Journey Canada, please visit our website or view our missions bulletin board at the church.

Another Operation Christmas Child season has drawn to a close, with 1,334 shoeboxes collected on the North Shore, Squamish and Whistler. This is an increase of almost 500 over last year, and is significant as each shoebox represents a Gospel Opportunity!

We are so grateful to everyone who participated, and to the staff who supported us, and enabled this ministry to continue to flourish.

With much appreciation, 
Michiel and Brenda Smit
