If you are able to provide a soup for the next NeighbourLink Summerland soup social on April 17th, please reach out to them to let them know! These are wonderful events put on for our community that bring light, laughter, and good food into people's lives!

Our next monthly Soup Social is scheduled for Thursday, April 17th.

Unfortunately, the group we approached to provide the soups is not available.

Do we have any available and willing volunteers out there who would donate a pot of soup towards our lunch next week?

If you are able to drop off the pre-warmed soup at the Summerland Community Centre between 11 and 11:30 am Thursday morning, that would be great, but we can also pick up the soup if you can't attend the lunch (and we will bring your slow cooker back to you, clean even!)

If you can help us, please contact Brandi ASAP at:
[email protected] (email is preferred, if possible, as we will see your message right away)

Thank you for helping us to keep this important social and feeding program running! 🙏

It’s kind of cold, kind of wet, and kind of windy out. A perfect day for a games night! Drop by Summerland Alliance Church tonight (Saturday) between 6 and 9 pm. Bring a game and a snack or come and enjoy what others brought. Grab a complimentary latté (or two) and enjoy a great night with some great people. All ages welcome!

Is this an opportunity that could fit your schedule and how you like to serve or help others? NeighbourLink is an excellent organization in our community that does great work for Summerland people.

NeighbourLink is faced with a very good problem - we are becoming more known in the area and having more agencies refer clients to us, most especially for rides to their medical-related appointments. This is amazing, as we have the opportunity to help even more people in Summerland 🥳

However, the increased client requests are putting more demands on our current volunteer drivers.

We are in need of more volunteer drivers to support these increased requests, and to ensure our current volunteers don't burn out!

There are no obligations to take a certain amount of rides - our volunteers accept the rides that fit into their existing schedules. Drive as much or as little as you're comfortable with.

Most appointments are within Summerland and Penticton, but we also have some requests to go to specialist appointments in Kelowna. Again, you get to decide which rides work for you.

Here are a few good reasons to consider volunteering for our driving program:

✅-it's a rewarding way to support your community
✅-meet and socialize with some wonderful people
✅-you get to pick and choose the rides that work for your schedule
✅-the social aspect of the drive can help our clients to ward off isolation, anxiety, and depression
✅-rides to support someone's medical needs can help to maintain their independence and even stay in their home longer

If you'd like more information on becoming a volunteer driver, please contact our office at:

You can also sign up to be a volunteer directly on our website: https://www.neighbourlinksummerland.org/volunteer

Good morning,

There will be no discussion group happening tonight (Tuesday, November 12) at Summerland Alliance. I am needed at home to help with homework that is causing stress in our home. Thank you for your understanding. We will meet again on Tuesday, November 19th.

This past Sunday, we had planned on having a guest speaker as Jim was away for the weekend. Our guest speaker, however, got sick on Friday morning and let us know they wouldn’t be available. So, Jim recorded a message on Friday afternoon and uploaded it to YouTube to be played during our Sunday morning gathering.

We also didn’t have any of our regular worship leaders around that weekend and were going to play videos to lead us in singing for our worship time together.

Well, evidently Jim did not communicate it thoroughly enough and no one was aware of the video that was our sermon for Sunday morning! Thankfully our vibrant little church took the opportunity to share testimonies and, I was told, had a good time gathered together.

So, you don’t have to watch or listen to this. It was a quick record with not much preparation as I mention in the video. But here is the sermon that I had planned to be played last Sunday about the risks the priests took who carried the ark into and across the Jordan River in Joshua chapter 3. As Jim has already recorded and released it, it won’t be a sermon he preaches later on in this series. So, if you’ve got a half hour to burn, take a look.
