With heavy, yet thankful hearts, we announce the closing of Maplecrest Vineyard Church.

Since the fall of 2018 when Maplecrest Church was born, Pastors and leaders, staff and volunteers have poured out their lives, fueled by the Holy Spirit, to passionately serve God's people, and advance His kingdom on the earth.

As this chapter closes, if you've ever been lovingly impacted within our community, please come memorialize with us in our:

"Goodbye Service & Potluck Lunch"

When: May 24th
Time: 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Where: Prendergast Community Centre, inside the Gym

Please bring a dish to share and prepare your hearts to celebrate the Goodness of God for these precious years together.

There is a case study about a man who was completely at the end of his rope. The darkness was total.

His therapist proposed a radical, risky experiment: take one "last summer" to just live. Stop trying to fix yourself. Stop worrying about the future. Just live.

What happened next didn't just save his life; it illustrated a profound truth that Jesus taught 2,000 years ago: sometimes the only way to find your life is to stop trying so hard to save it.

This Sunday, Dr. Syras Derksen (Pastor & Psychologist) explores the "Upside Down Kingdom"—where psychology and Scripture agree that the way up is actually down.

Join us as we learn how to let go of the desperate need for control and find true life on the other side.

📅 When: Sunday at 10:00 AM 📍 Where: 906 Cottonwood Road (Maplecrest Vineyard Church) 💻 Learn More: maplecrestvineyard.com
