Today is a day of remembrance for the women and men who have served, and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict and peace. What will you do today to observe Remembrance Day?

A friendly reminder that tonight we "fall back" one hour. While setting clocks that don't do it on their own, change your smoke detector batteries too!

As summer begins, we’re shifting into our summer worship schedule—and we’d love to have you join us! Starting now, worship will begin at 10:00 AM each Sunday.

With Pastor Dean now retired, our worship life is entering a new season too. Over the summer, we’ll enjoy a mix of lay-led services, communion Sundays, and times of worship with St. Thomas Anglican Church, located at 46048 Gore Avenue.

Whether you're staying close to home or just visiting for the season, there's always a place for you here. Come as you are, and let’s continue to grow in faith, friendship, and community together.

Thank you Teri Westerby for your kind words. We are grateful for this opportunity to have our building used for social purposing. Thank you SD33!

🌱 Big news: The Chilliwack School Board unanimously passed all three readings of a bylaw to purchase the property at 9460 Charles Street, the current home to Christ Lutheran Church and directly beside Chilliwack Middle School.

This is a huge step forward for long-term educational planning in the district. With schools already at or over capacity, and continued growth expected downtown and on local First Nations lands, the need to think ahead is constant and critical. This site is a rare, central space to eventually expand Chilliwack Middle or explore other creative ways to meet student needs, while providing immediate access to in-need infrastructure like a prep kitchen for feeding students, gathering spaces for educators, and offices for staff.

But what makes this story even more powerful is how it came to us.

Instead of selling on the open market, church leaders approached the district first.

They saw an opportunity to not only sustain their congregation’s mission, but to invest in the broader community. That kind of heart-forward leadership, of putting shared good above short-term gain, is rare. And it deserves to be recognized.

In every conversation with the church’s leadership, what stood out to me was how aligned our values are. Inclusion. Respect. Diversity. Equity. Belonging. These are shared commitments. Both SD33 and Christ Lutheran believe that everyone matters, and that communities are strongest when we lift each other up.

This is what I mean when I talk about systems that centre care, collaboration, and community. This is what it looks like to walk your values.

The board has now done their part; the bylaw is officially passed and off to the Ministry of Education and Child Care for approval.

I’m proud to support decisions that serve today’s students and tomorrow’s. And I’m deeply grateful to the congregation at Christ Lutheran Church for their vision, generosity, and commitment to Chilliwack’s future.

This is what it looks like to build something bigger than ourselves.
