Do you have questions, encouragement, concerns relating to Transformation Church? 

Join myself and a member of the board after the Sunday service on November 15th for a coffee in the cafe. 

I'm looking for someone who can coordinate Angel Tree on behalf of our church this year. If you have a deep love for Jesus, leadership and organizational skills, and a desire to bless the children of prisoners, please reach out to me (Jeremy) at 807-620-1912

We are looking for someone who is willing to step into the role of leading the welcome team.

This is a crucial ministry at the church. Do you have a deep love for Jesus? Excellent skills with team leading? A passion to see the newcomer warmly welcomed and connected at our church?

Contact Jeremy at 807-620-1912.

Join us for a hymn sing at Pioneer Ridge after the Sunday service. Meet Roy, Carol, Matthew, and Kim at Pioneer Ridge at 2:00 p.m. in the lobby.

Join us at Grace Place for a time of worship and praise.

As you look at 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16, notice what marks Christians who are the real deal.

I find it quite moving that Paul, Silas, and Timothy, for the sake of Jesus, are so deeply sacrificial in sharing the gospel with the Thessalonians. Would your love for Jesus and for others motivate you like it did them? 

Finally, notice how costly faith was for the Thessalonians themselves. What cost does following Jesus have in your life?

It seems as though this costly faith, this suffering, was a marker of authentic faith. What do you think?

See you Sunday!

Would you like to share your faith through participating in a float at the Thunder Bay Santa Claus Parade on November 21st? 

Terry imagines a long, flat farm trailer with a manger on it, straw, and a large, rugged cross. On the sides of this wagon, she envisions a painted wood sign reading, "From cradle to cross, because Jesus loves you." Would you like to be part of this? Contact Terry at thoward@tbaytel.net.

See that photo? See the little box on the bottom of the photo?  Notice how it looks like an elevator?  Do you think we can raise that little elevator to the top of that board? 

We are excited to announce that we have received a quote for the elevator. The board has decided that we will begin fundraising for this. The elevator and install costs come to approximately $65,000. We've waited a long time to get to this point. Now is our chance to, together as a congregation, raise the money for this elevator. 

If by a miracle we reach $65,000 by the end of December, we can initiate the "go ahead" on elevator installation. The elevator company says we could expect an elevator by around April. 

If we do not reach our $65,000 goal by January, we will continue fundraising. Once we've reached $65,000, (or nearly 65,000) we will be able to begin work with the elevator company, but we will need to ask for a re-quote since the quote expires on January 1st. 

We will also be pursuing a grant. Ralph, Sanna, and Simona serve as our grant committee. Grants, however, are hard to predict and there is no guarantee of us getting a grant. If we get a grant, we will use that money for the elevator.

If you have a real sense of, "Let's get this elevator running as soon as possible," and you want to give, the opportunity is open. If, however, we do receive a grant, then your monetary gift will be used for other capital fund projects at the church. 

All funds for the elevator must be tagged "Capital Fund".  You will still receive a tax receipt for this donation.

Also, as you prayerfully consider this opportunity, please note that we are asking you to consider this fundraising above your regular tithing. We so appreciate your regular tithing as it keeps the regular operation of the church afloat. 

Can you help us make it to the top?

Would you like to take a part in Operation Christmas Child shoebox ministry? 

Collection dates are November 16-22 @ Summit Church See the poster on the cafe bulletin board for times that the centre is open during these dates. Sanna can deliver any boxes to The Summit Church so you can bring them to me any time before Nov.16th. (do not just leave them unattended on a table in the church). All donations should be made online if possible to the Samaritans' purse.

Contact Sanna: sannahum@gmail.com

Our church response has been wonderful, half the boxes are gone. I still have more in the cafe and have access to more if needed, please let me know if you are participating so I have an idea of how many boxes are donated from our church or the number of boxes that are virtually donated online.
