Lytton Ministry Trip Update

Lytton Ministry Trips – MayDay Events and River Festival

MayDay Events this past May
On May 16, a group of 23 members from three congregations and across three generations came together to serve in the Lytton Ministry. This marked the fifth year of hosting a carnival for families in the Lytton First Nations community during their annual MayDay Events.

This year, we were fortunate to hold the event indoors at the Battlefield Community Centre, located a few miles from downtown Lytton. At first, we were uncertain how many people would attend because of the more remote location. However, God blessed the event with around many visitors. The indoor setting encouraged people to stay longer and connect more easily with one another. In particular, the café booth created meaningful opportunities for deeper conversations and relationship-building with community members.

During our post-event sharing, many brothers and sisters reflected on how God has been planting seeds through this ministry. A number of visitors recognized Fraser Lands Church and were aware of the ongoing support we have provided over the years through carnivals, hampers, and supplies. One woman invited us to pray for her family, while an elder shared his gratitude, faith, and decision to pursue a positive path in life. These moments were powerful reminders of God’s grace at work throughout this journey.

Upcoming River Festival
We are now looking forward to an even bigger event later this year - the River Festival on September 5 (Saturday) during the Labour Day weekend. In addition to our usual carnival activities, we are working with Lytton Chinese History Museum and Lytton First Nations to trace back some of the Lytton Chinese settlers during the early years. We will require a team of over 50 for this ministry trip. We invite you to join us in connecting with the people of Lytton and sharing Christ’s love with the community.

Will you consider joining us on this trip? As usual, it will be a long but meaningful day trip - guaranteed. You can register online or contact us directly. Please do so as soon as possible to help with our planning. The registration deadline for the River Festival Trip is August 16, 2026.
