Merry Christmas from the Hogendoorns

Dear Church Family,

We are so blessed to begin this journey with you in Courtenay in following God's plans for us all in the years to come. Thank-you so much for your welcome and support. Our theme for Advent has been "Home for Christmas" and you have indeed made us feel at home here.

This is the joy and privilege of Christmas: through Jesus, we are brought into God’s family, loved, redeemed, and made heirs of his promises.

Our prayer for you this season is that you would know the deep joy of being part of God’s family—both in your homes and here in his church. May his peace and presence fill your hearts as we celebrate the gift of his Son together.

May God bless you and your families, our whole church family and the community in our valley.
