In June we shared an article about an amazing initiative called "Backpacks of Love" Our Church in North Bay served as a drop-off site for the Compassionate Com...mittee for the Homeless in their efforts to provide for the community in North Bay. Recently, a New Apostolic Member, and Compassionate Committee member, Rebecca Wiesel Riesen shared this picture with us of all the backpacks the committee was able to put together! It's such a joyful sight and we wanted to share it with you! Those without a home were heavily affected throughout the past couple of years. While many of us were able to comfortably "stay home", others had nowhere to go, and due to the pandemic, they were faced with more difficulty. We are thankful for those who were able to contribute to this wonderful initiative and show the love of Christ to all. https://www.nugget.ca//local-committee-filling-backpacks-o

Expect the Unexpected November 15, 2021 Sometimes you can plan for opportunities to serve others, but sometimes situations change unexpectedly. Your plans fall... apart, and you begin to look for God's plan in the midst of changing circumstances. That is when it gets exciting. All of a sudden you realize it isn't about you and your plans, but about God and what He is up to. Life takes on a fresh expectancy as God begins to reveal His plan. Where is God stirring in your circumstances? What is He up to in your life? See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.Isaiah 43:19 Prayer: God, You have a way of changing things up just when I am getting used to the old way of doing things. A desire for security and stability tugs at my soul, but You are the untamable God who beckons me into the future You envision. You are my security and my guide, and I will follow where You lead. In Jesus' name, Amen.

As our church celebrates Thanksgiving around the world, we are reminded that even through difficult times we have so much to be thankful for... #NACThankful

Wishing everyone a blessed Thanksgiving Day!

BACK TO SCHOOL An article by District Apostle Mark Woll The most precious treasure in a family is our children. In the work of God and in our congregations, we... have a wonderful treasure in our children and youth. As our children head back to school, we assure them of our prayers for angel’s protection, success in their studies, the right teachers, and a great circle of influence. We wish them well and God’s blessings for the school year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the parents and all those who are involved in the spiritual education of our children. Thank you for your love, commitment, work, and sacrifices. You really do a great job. There is a well known saying It takes a village to raise a child. This is an African proverb emphasizing that an entire community of people must interact with children for them to experience and grow in a safe and healthy environment. The villager's lookout for the children. This means together we take up this responsibility to preserve the beautiful treasure of our faithful children in the congregation. Our Chief Apostle recently pointed out that parents, teachers, ministers, and the congregation as a whole share this responsibility and task of showing our children: The beauty of the work of God To prove to our children the reality of what they are taught. That it is not just a wish, dream, or advertisement but the truth. To help to convince our children of the presence and power of God. Through the activity of the Holy Spirit and prayer, we experience the Lord. To show that although we are sinners and imperfect human beings, we indeed can forgive, be reconciled with one another, overcome and overcome our differences We do this by showing them that what they hear, what they are told, and what they are taught is the reality and can be experienced. The children will learn from our positive example and the experiences we share with them. We read in John 13: 34-35 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another. Jesus asks us to love one another as He loves us. We can do so by: Accepting one another our children are accepted as they are and at home in our fellowship. Sharing our joys and sorrow their feelings matter and we show interest. Helping one another we seek to help them in a concrete manner. Being together showing them that it is important to us to be together with them (to be near them, to speak, to eat, to serve, to pray, to praise God together). Mutually forgiving Christ makes free, His love covers all and our children should be free of judgment and accusation. Once again Jesus Christ is an example for us. When our children feel the love of Christ through us, then we will build wonderful relationships with them. In turn, we can be instrumental for our children to build their relationship with our triune God. It remains important for our Chief Apostle, as it does for all of us to share this responsibility together; to preserve this treasure which we have in our children.
