🚨 Important Cove Update 🚨

Unfortunately, The Cove (Kid’s Club) is cancelled for tonight. Captain Emily had to head out of town for a medical procedure (she’s okay! 💙), and Captain Kyron won’t make it back to Parry Sound in time for the program.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing everyone again next week!

✨ You’re Invited ✨

Our International Leaders of The Salvation Army are wrapping up their Canadian tour this weekend—and it’s a meaningful moment to be part of after the past couple of weeks across the country.

If you’re able, we’d love to encourage you to attend one of the in-person gatherings happening in Whitby or Richmond Hill. These will be powerful moments of worship, vision, and encouragement for the Church.

We also know that for many of us here in Parry Sound, making that trip just isn’t realistic—and that’s okay. You’re not left out.

💛 This Sunday morning, we’ll be livestreaming the gathering right in our sanctuary as our worship service. Same time as usual, 10:30am.

That means Rainbow Country Church gets to join in, worship together, and receive what God is doing—even from a distance.

Wherever you are, you’re invited to be part of this moment.

The Jesus Our Compass tour, with General Lyndon Buckingham and Commissioner Bronwyn Buckingham, concludes this weekend with two services in the Greater Toronto Area. We encourage all Salvationists to be there in person — space is still available! If you're not able to attend in person, join us by live stream on YouTube:

Saturday, May 2 at 7 p.m. - Program and Reception (*also broadcast live on Facebook)

Sunday, May 3 at 10:30 a.m. - United Worship Service

Live streams available here: https://www.youtube.com//streams

We’re excited to keep serving our community and to put this learning into ministry right here in Parry Sound.
