Who Is This?
"Jesus is the Christ"
Mark 8:27-38
Speaker: Pastor Ben Short

In November we will take three weeks to look at the person of Jesus through the lens of three titles. The Gospel of Mark uses narrative that draws us to examine Jesus closely. Often avoiding outright proclamations, Mark prefers to build up a composite picture of who Jesus is with stories that have layers of interlocking meaning. Throughout the gospel, Mark gives Jesus titles. Each of these titles provides an essential clue to who Jesus really is. In the modern era we don't have the background to appreciate what these titles really mean. All of them were part of the Old Testament revelation and are steeped in ancient meaning. Through studying these titles we will be led to the place of worship and adoration.

Remember to turn your clocks back one hour before you go to sleep on Saturday night. Daylight Saving Time ends at 2:00 AM on Sunday November 3rd.

A friendly reminder for those who are registered for our upcoming Newcomers Welcome Luncheon this coming Sunday November 3rd to please come to the Multi-Purpose Room (MPR) at 12:30pm to check in. The event starts promptly at 1pm. We look forward to seeing you at the luncheon. If you have any questions, please contact Marie Chow at mariettapchow@gmail.com.

A casual “bring your own lunch“ get together to gather and visit with Jackie Wong, Director of EDUPAVI Canada. Jackie is one of our Fraser Lands Missionaries doing work in Guatemala. Please bring your own lunch and join us to hear updates on Jackie's work with Edupavi and on how we can support the work they are doing. Please register so we know how many people will be coming.

We can express the love of God in concrete and tangible ways. This year we are inviting small groups, families, and individuals to sponsor Christmas Hampers in support of two ministry areas.

"Help for Lytton" and "Vancouver Urban Ministries (VUM)"

You can choose to support one or both. Please join us in supporting these ministries and the families they serve.

Invitation to FLC small groups and fellowships to participate in our annual evening of Christmas tree decorating at the church. If your group is interested in reserving a Christmas tree to decorate, please contact Albert Chan (albert@fraserlands.ca) by Sunday Nov. 10th.

Come and experience our "Christmas Wonder" event. We'll be having photo stations set up around the different Christmas tree areas where our designated photographers will take Christmas family photos. In addition, we'll have other family friendly fun activities like a Christmas craft and ornament making area, snacks & refreshments at our Christmas Cafe, prize draws, and more. Registration is required. Registration starts on Sunday Nov. 3rd.

Esther is the Outreach Ministries Manager at Culture Regeneration Research Society (CRRS). She trains young volunteer leaders to serve under-provided children in rural China and locally in Vancouver. She is also an educator on various topics that serve the local community. CRRS’ ministries are guided by love to foster mutual understanding through leadership, academic & publishing, multimedia outreach, caring for the marginalized through education assistance (student sponsorship), working with under-provided families and journeying with the Indigenous community.

CRRS became an official partner with local non-profit Vancouver Urban Ministries (VUM) in 2016 and sponsored First Nations students to attend their tutoring program. In 2020, Esther started a free summer camp for children from low-income families in East Vancouver.
