ARTicipation
Maybe something happened in April to make it memorable for you, but probably not. In Grande Prairie, April is quickly forgotten, for good reason. It’s not our best month. One thing you should not forget about last month happened on April 12 at the Church of Christ. We had an art festival here and it […]
Footsteps of Paul Trip – Turkey, Greece, Italy
Alan and a number from our fellowship are on the Footsteps of Paul Trip in Turkey and Italy and will be posting video clips from their trip here on “the Chronicle”. Watch for posts from Alan soon!
Evangelist– Bringer of Good News?
What do you think of when you hear the word “Evangelist” or “Evangelism”? I don’t know about you, but I used to have a pretty skewed understanding of what those words meant. I’m not sure if my misunderstanding was just my limited life experience, but those words used to conjure up images of bible-thumping “fire-and-brimstone” […]

The Defilement of Bitterness
Looking through all of my identity issues, all of my stories, one thing that is very apparent is this: People hurt. They cause pain. There’s no way around it. People can give us labels that affect our identities for years to come: ugly, unloveable, unpopular, etc, etc. I’m sure if you read these posts, you can relate. Somewhere […]
Help Glory Garden
One of the goals of the Glory Garden ministry is to provide affordable childcare for Kindergarten to Grade six children. Over the past few months, Glory Garden has been exploring ways to keep costs low. It has been increasingly difficult to cover program expenses with only registration fees, so, we need your help. If you could […]
Hard(ly) Working Christians
I sincerely hope this is not a real Christian stereotype. While, for sure, our focus should be on kingdom things, and kingdom first living, I don’t think everything else is to be deemed unimportant because it does not affiliate itself with Christianity.
Did that make sense..?
