To Be or Not To Be - In-Person Services?
We have submitted our variance request to the GNWT on Monday 25 October. They promise feedback within five days, so we do hope to be able to meet in person this Sunday, but are not 100% sure just yet. We will send out another email and post on FB prior to the weekend.
PLEASE continue to PRAY for John Westergreen and Sandra as John undergoes further medical treatment in Edmonton before they return to Yellowknife in a few weeks.
GOOD NEWS NEWSFLASH!
The McKenzie's have a new baby boy!

Samaritans Purse - Operation Christmas Child - TIME IS RUNNING OUT! PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO START FILLING YOUR BOXES, OR COLLECTING YOUR ITEMS!
November 15 - 21, 2021 is the final collection week for the annual Samaritans Purse Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts.
Operation Christmas Child gift-filled shoeboxes travel to the ends of the earth to bring children great joy and the Good News of Jesus Christ. After they receive their box, the children are then invited to participate in The Greatest Journey discipleship course where they learn how to follow Christ and share Him with others.
Please consider gathering gifts for a child to be packed into (large) shoeboxes, and joining our Church together in supporting this worthy cause.
Boxes are available at the church and can be picked up when we meet for in-person services soon.
They are looking for Collection Volunteers to help greet drop-offs, help with collections and generally help with the smooth operation of the collections in Yellowknife.
They are also looking for Point Person volunteers who can help share the Vision and heart of Operation Christmas Child.
Packing Boxes Party is on Saturday November 20 from 2pm-5pm and more details for helping can be obtained from Barbara.

Please pray for the children receiving these gifts and for a smooth process in getting them to some of the most remote areas on the planet! Prayer cards are available at the church when you pick up your boxes and labels.
