🧴💚 Shekinah Club Ministries Bottle Drive

Our Shekinah Adventurer & Pathfinder Club had a wonderful time going door-to-door around the Shawnessy neighborhood for our bottle drive! 🙌♻️

Our Adventurers and Pathfinders actively participated by walking together, collecting bottles and cans, and working toward a common goal—to raise funds that will help support our club ministry and its activities. 💙

More than just collecting bottles, the children learned valuable lessons about teamwork, responsibility, perseverance, and serving the community. They discovered that when we work together, even a small contribution can make a big difference. 🌱🤝

Most importantly, they were reminded that serving others is one way we can grow closer to Jesus and inspire one another in faith. ✝️❤️

Every bottle counts. Every child can make a difference. Every act of service can inspire!

Thank you to our Shawnessy neighbourhood who welcomed our children and generously supported our bottle drive. Your kindness means so much to our club! 💚

✨ “I Touched His Garment” ✨

What a beautiful and powerful Divine Service today as Elder Dale shared the message, “I Touched His Garment.” 🙏

The story of the woman who reached out in faith and touched the garment of Jesus reminds us that sometimes, all we need is to reach out to Him—even when we feel weak, broken, unworthy, or without answers.

She didn’t need to be noticed by the crowd. She simply believed that one touch of Jesus was enough to change her life. And it was.
Perhaps today, some of us are quietly carrying burdens that no one else can see. Maybe our hearts are tired, our faith is being tested, or we are waiting for an answer to prayer.

But the invitation remains the same: Reach out to Jesus.
Touch His garment through prayer.
Touch His garment through faith.
Touch His garment through His Word.
And trust that His grace is enough. ❤️

May we leave this Sabbath with a renewed faith—not in our own strength, but in the One who can heal, restore, and make all things new.

“If I may but touch His garment, I shall be made whole.” — Matthew 9:21
🙏 Jesus is still passing by. Reach out in faith. Your touch can become your testimony.

🌿 A Beautiful Sabbath of Faith, Fellowship & Memories 🌿

What a beautiful Sabbath it was! 💛 Today, our Pathfinders had the opportunity to share their unforgettable camp experiences from the 1st Filipino Pathfinder Camp—stories filled with adventure, friendship, challenges, laughter, and, most importantly, moments where they experienced God’s presence.

Each story reminded us that Pathfinder camping is more than tents, activities, and campfires. It is about building character, strengthening faith, creating lasting friendships, and learning to trust God through every journey. 🏕️🔥🙏

As we listened to their experiences, we were reminded that the memories made today can become the testimonies that inspire them tomorrow.
May our young people continue to walk boldly in God’s path, serve with joyful hearts, and carry the lessons they learned from camp wherever they go.

The adventure may have ended, but the journey with God continues. ❤️

✨ “Remember your Creator in the days of your youth.” — Ecclesiastes 12:1

🌟 An Evening of Celebration, Talent, and Unforgettable Memories! 🎉✨

As the sun set on another incredible day at our Filipino Pathfinders Camp, the excitement continued with a special evening of recognition and fun. We proudly presented another round of awards, celebrating the dedication, perseverance, and outstanding efforts of our Pathfinders throughout the camp. Every recognition was a reminder that hard work, teamwork, and a positive attitude never go unnoticed.

The celebration continued with our Talent Showcase, where each Pathfinder confidently shared their unique gifts through singing, dancing, acting, and other amazing performances. It was inspiring to see them encourage one another, step out of their comfort zones, and glorify God by using the talents He has given them.

To end the night with laughter, everyone joined the exciting "Picture Me" game. The room was filled with smiles, cheers, and joyful moments as teams worked together, creating memories that will be treasured for years to come.

More than just an evening of fun, it was a celebration of friendship, confidence, and the wonderful gifts God has placed in each Pathfinder. Truly, the best memories are made when hearts are united in faith, service, and joy.
