This week we're praying for those who are grieving.

Maybe it's the friend who lost their spouse and still makes two coffees out of habit. The parent grieving a child. Someone grieving a marriage that ended, or a friendship that just faded away, or a dream that didn't happen the way they hoped. Grief isn't only for death. It shows up anywhere something we loved is gone.

Matthew 5:4 says, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."

Jesus doesn't rush anyone through their pain. He sits in it with them. Comfort isn't something that just shows up when enough time passes; it's something He gives… It’s who He is… The Comforter. And what’s really cool is that He loves to express it through people like you and me.

Pray this week for the grieving people around you, the ones who talk about it openly and the ones who hide it well. Pray they'd feel His comforting presence, even now, in a special way as you pray.

And remember, praying is just where we start. 👀

🌍 You’re Invited to Our Online Global Church!

In September, Pastor Sheri is away, and we’re excited to welcome Pastor Rick, who will step in to lead our Online Church family through a brand-new series in the Book of Romans.

Romans takes us straight to the heart of the Gospel. The Christian life is about far more than simply trying harder, behaving better, or managing our sin. Through Christ, God does something much deeper: He transforms us by grace and unleashes His love in and through our lives.

Throughout September, Pastor Rick will lead us through Romans under the theme:
🔥 FROM SIN MANAGEMENT TO LOVE UNLEASHED

And we begin this Monday with Romans 1:1–7 and a question that matters for every follower of Jesus: “WHAT IS YOUR CALLING?”

Paul begins Romans by identifying himself as “called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God.” But he doesn't stop with his own calling. He reminds ordinary believers that we, too, are called—called to belong to Jesus Christ and called to be His holy people.

What has God called YOU to?

Come ready to open the Word, worship, pray, learn, and connect with believers joining us from around the world.

JOIN US ONLINE EACH MONDAY VIA ZOOM:

This week we're praying for those struggling with addiction.
Prayer is where we start, but let's put this one into practice too.

Here are some ideas:
• Check in on someone without judgment. Give your time and listen well.
• Learn what local recovery programs are available and what they offer, so you have something real to point someone toward.
• Offer to go with them to an appointment or meeting, so they're not walking in alone (which is hard for anyone).

Comment below with your own idea, one small way you could show up for someone caught in addiction this week. Then pick one, yours or someone else's, and actually do it.

Freedom is His to give, not ours to manufacture. But He often uses one person who didn't give up on someone to get there.

This week we're praying for those struggling with addiction.

Remember… addiction doesn't always look like the rock bottom we picture. Often, it's hidden well, and denied even by the person dealing with it.

Luke 4:18 says, "The Spirit of the Lord is on me... he has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners... to set the oppressed free."

Jesus didn't come to shame the captive. He came to set them free. That's still His heart today, for the one caught in addiction and for the ones who love them and don't know how to help. Let’s pray for both.

Pray for freedom, for hope, and for courage to trust God and try again.
Pray for open eyes to actually see the hidden one who is struggling.

And remember, praying is just where we start. 👀

This week we're praying for the lonely.
Prayer is where we start, but James reminds us that faith without action is dead. So let's put this one into practice.
A phone call. A coffee invite. Sitting with someone at church instead of your usual spot. Checking in on the neighbour you haven't seen in a while.
Comment below with your own idea, one small way you could show up for someone who's lonely this week. Then pick one, yours or someone else's, and actually do it before Sunday.
You never know, your five minutes might be the only "with" someone gets all week.

Something I’ve been reading and wondering about lately…
What if we’ve accidentally treated church attendance like the finish line?

We celebrate when people come.
We count how many came.
We strategize about getting more people to come.

And of course — gathering matters. It’s wonderful and biblical.

But Jesus never said,
“Go into all the world and get everybody into a church service.”

He said,
“Go and make disciples…”
Matthew 28:19 NLT

Somewhere along the way, did coming become the goal instead of going?

It makes me pause and ask:
What is the real goal Jesus gave you and me?
And if we lived like that was the goal… would it change how we pray, how we gather, or how we live out our faith?

I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
What do you think? Let's chat about it!

We're starting a new theme for our weekly prayer emphasis: "Praying for our Neighbour."
Over the next six weeks we're praying for our neighbours in need. We want to be praying for real people with real struggles, right in our own circles.
This week, we're praying for the lonely.
Maybe it's the widow down the street who hasn't had a visitor in weeks. The senior who eats every meal alone. The person scrolling their phone at midnight because there's no one to text who'd actually pick up.
Loneliness isn't just a feeling to push through. Research shows chronic loneliness carries a health risk on par with smoking fifteen ci******es a day. It's not a small thing.
Psalm 23:4 says, "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me."
We know God never leaves us alone; He is always present. Sometimes He makes that presence tangible with people like you and me!
Pray this week for eyes to see who's lonely around you.
And keep watching this space... praying is just where we're starting. 👀

ATLANTIC 9:38 • DAY 41 📍 Charlotte County, New Brunswick

"Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
— Matthew 9:38

There's a story they still tell in St. Stephen. During the War of 1812, Britain and America were officially enemies — which meant St. Stephen and Calais, Maine, facing each other across the St. Croix River, were supposed to be enemies too. The towns refused. They had built their lives together, worshipped together, married across that river. And when Calais found itself short of gunpowder for its Fourth of July celebration, the story goes that St. Stephen sent some over — in the middle of a war. Two towns decided that being neighbours ran deeper than any decree that they should hate each other. More than two centuries later, they still celebrate an international festival together every summer.

Charlotte County is full of communities shaped by water and connection — St. Stephen with its Ganong chocolate heritage, historic St. Andrews by-the-Sea, St. George on the Magaguadavic, and the Fundy Isles: Grand Manan, Deer Island, Campobello, where the fishing families have always known that survival means looking out for one another. It's fitting that this county comes last. Because after 41 days and 41 regions, this is where Atlantic 9:38 lands: the harvest is not a program. It's neighbours refusing to let anything — borders, wars, distance, differences — stop them from loving each other. Love your neighbour, even when the world says you shouldn't. Especially then.

Forty-one days. Forty-one regions. Nearly two and a half million people. One harvest.

Lord of the Harvest, we finish where love crosses borders. We pray for Charlotte County — for St. Stephen and St. Andrews and St. George, for every island family that gets there by ferry, for a Gospel carried by boat where the roads don't go. Make Your people here like the neighbours of 1812 — famous for a love that no border can stop. And now, Lord, hear the prayer we have prayed 41 times, over every region of Atlantic Canada, from the Avalon to the Fundy Isles: the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Send out workers into Your harvest field. Send them to every county, every coast, every island we have named. We have asked. Now we watch for Your answer. Let the harvest come to Atlantic Canada. Amen and amen.

ATLANTIC 9:38 • DAY 40 📍 Victoria County, New Brunswick

"Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
— Matthew 9:38

Twice in this county, the extraordinary happens in a small place. In Grand Falls, the Saint John River suddenly plunges over a cataract and thunders through a gorge in the middle of town — one of the largest waterfalls in Eastern Canada, power that has flowed without ceasing for as long as anyone has stood on its banks. The town around it is the only one in Canada officially known by two names, Grand Falls and Grand-Sault, because two peoples — English and French — share one community here and always have. And then there's Plaster Rock, a village of barely a thousand in the Tobique Valley, which every winter hosts the World Pond Hockey Championship — teams travel from across the globe to play hockey on a frozen lake, welcomed like family in a place most maps barely mark.

That's Victoria County: unceasing power and exceptional hospitality, side by side. Potato farms and forest, Perth-Andover on the river, the Tobique winding up into the hills. People here don't do anything halfway — not the welcome, not the work.
The falls never stop flowing. Neither does the Spirit. The question is never whether the power is there — it's whether we'll step into the flow.

Lord of the Harvest, You put a waterfall in the middle of a town as a picture of Yourself — power that never pauses, never runs dry, free to all who come near. We pray today for Victoria County: for Grand Falls/Grand-Sault, let its two names become one testimony, English and French believers joined in one Body. For Plaster Rock and the Tobique Valley, You've given these communities a gift of welcome — now let them welcome the King. For Perth-Andover and every farm and forest road, open hearts to the Gospel. Not by might, not by power, but by Your Spirit, Lord — flowing like the falls, without end. Amen.
