Save the date! August 12-16! Vacation Bible School!!!!! Through Bible lessons, songs, crafts, science experiments, medieval games and other fun activities, we’ll go back to medieval times and explore how God wants us to stand STRONG for the truth and fight off the temptations of the enemy!

CAMP-MEETING 2024:
The Ontario Conference camp meeting for 2024 will be held on Sabbath, June 1 at the International Center – 6900 Airport Rd. Mississauga. The highlight this year will be the celebration of the Conference’s 125th  anniversary as an institution. It will feature, among other special events, the baptism of 125 souls to the Lord. Let’s plan to be there.

FOCUS ON STEWARDSHIP:
We should be on our guard, and not allow ourselves to spend money upon that which is unnecessary, and simply for display. We should not permit ourselves to indulge tastes that lead us to pattern after the customs of the world and rob the treasury of the lord.  R.& H, Dec. 19, 1893. Dear members of Immanuel, we appreciate your faithfulness in returning a faithful tithe as the Lord commands. However, we strongly encourage you to remember giving to the church budget.  Systematic benevolence will help to defray our expenses and allow us to feel worthy of the blessings from the Lord.
