Homecoming Weekend

The best thing about September is HOMECOMING WEEKEND at Relate Church.  We cannot wait to have our Senior Pastors back from sabbatical, and to gather the church family as a whole. As we all come back from summer vacation and holiday craziness, let's make every effort to be in the House this special weekend and kick off a strong new season.

Our service times on September 10 + 11 will be on a regular schedule:

EAST Sunday 10:30 am

SURREY Saturday 6:30 pm
Sunday 9:30 am
11:30 am


Come Early! Trust us, you don't want to miss the FIRST FIVE MINUTES OF SERVICE.  It will be surprising, and will set the stage for an incredible worship experience.  Pastor John is bringing a word full of vision as he kicks off a brand new series titled GUTS.  

Who can you bring? Can't wait to see you and your friends here. Everyone is welcome, always... And we'll party after church with treats and fun for the kids.

Happy New Year!

Hey folks…

What a great FIRST SUNDAY of 2011! It was awesome to see all of you in the house this past weekend. We are beyond thrilled for this month of celebrations at Relate Church as we celebrate our 25th Anniversary as a church! What a way to kick off the new year!

SPECIAL THANKS to all of you who went above and beyond this Christmas season… from those of you who helped with our hampers, to those who donated to our gifts for the inmates at Fraser Valley, to those who baked yummy treats for our Christmas Open House service…. we love seeing people come together to make an impact on those all around us.

Get excited for this month ahead- this weekend we’ll be celebrating the TEAM at Relate East and we CAN’T WAIT to do so!

Have a blessed week everyone. Please remember that if you have any prayer requests/praise reports, please let us know by emailing Jenna at jliesch@relatechurch.ca and we’ll get our prayer team praying!

See you Sunday!

This Week At Relate East…

Merry Christmas to you all! What a season this is shaping up to be. I am SO excited about all the endeavours that we as a campus have been able to be a part of. This is a BIG week for East Campus! 

We’d like to invite you to join us this THURSDAY NIGHT, December 16^th @ 6:00pm (Time Change!), at the Garage (2808 Garden Street) for our Christmas Hamper Assembly PARTY! These hampers are going specifically to people in OUR community…. How awesome is that?!!! We will begin by assembling the hampers, and then we’ll have some time for coffee and treats and just to hang out together as a team. We hope you can make it- please RSVP to jliesch@relatechurch.ca to let us know if you’re coming!

An update on our Community Care Project… This year as a campus, we got to raise funds to buy gifts for the women who are in prison at the Fraser Valley Correctional Institution (in our very own backyard). The gifts have been purchased and will be delivered this week, and each inmate will be receiving a beautiful little gift bag (each beautifully wrapped bag contains a journal, a gel pen, a candy cane, purdy’s chocolates, and some Christmasey popcorn!) the day before Christmas. How awesome is it that we’ve been able to bless SEVENTY FIVE women in prison with a little bit of love this Christmas?!!! Thank GOD for opening the doors of opportunity in these women’s lives!

 THIS SUNDAY… As many of you know, we have sent out invites to over 2500 homes in the immediate area surrounding Abbotsford Christian School (a.k.a Relate Church!!) this week, inviting our community to our special ‘Christmas Open House Service’ this Sunday (December 19^th).  If you are part of the team at Relate, we’re asking you to come at 9:30am to be ready to greet our visitors with fresh coffee and Christmas baking. LADIES: We’re asking you to bring some of your yummy Christmas cookies/baking along to the service. Please let me know if you can bring any!  

Can you believe its the LAST SUNDAY before Christmas??!!! How time flies! Hope you’ve all been SIMPLIFYING this Christmas and are ready for the best one yet. This weekend will be over the top- see you there!
