Register your kids for Road Trip VBS at: https://tinyurl.com/RoadTrip25VBS

Every morning from August 11-15, kids ages 4-11 are invited to join the communities of St. Laurence Anglican and Good Shepherd Lutheran for a thrilling road trip adventure, exploring exciting destinations with the Navigator and their pup, Scout! Through engaging Bible stories, interactive games, and fun challenges, we'll discover that God is always with us - whether we're off course, joyful, alone...or anywhere! 

Help wanted!

Every Vacation Bible School relies on a strong team of volunteers! We're looking for people who can help in any of these areas:

- small group leaders, guiding a group of kids through the week
- station leaders, for any of our games, drama, craft, or science stations
- decorating and craft prep before the event
- snack preparation + kitchen help
- registration desk

Gift matching up to a Quarter Million Dollars

In the wake of massive cuts to international development assistance by the U.S. Government and some European governments, Alongside Hope partners are reporting that progress is being undone, programs are being forced to shut down, and families and communities are living in uncertainty about their futures. To maintain as many vital programs as
possible, Alongside Hope is launching an urgent appeal to donors, the Resilience Fund. Thanks to an extremely generous donor, all gifts made to the Resilience Fund by June 30, 2025 will be matched, up to $250,000.

You can donate at Alongside Hope or the church office.

The service to celebrate and give thanks for the Renovision of the sanctuary can be viewed HERE.

I will be away from the office and unavailable from June 17 to 28. In case of emergency, please contact the office office@saintlaurence.ca or 604-936-5423.

Reminder: We are now on our summer schedule which means one Sunday service at 10:00 AM.
During the summer months, there will be no organized children or youth programs, but families are always welcome. We have a dedicated space for young children and an activity table at the back of the church to help little ones stay engaged during worship.

Come as you are, and join us for a season of rest, connection, and worship together.
