"I Am the Resurrection: Caiaphas"
Verses: John 11:45-57
Speaker: Pastor Ben Short

After Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead the chief priests gather to plot Jesus' death. In this meeting Caiaphas, the high priest, unwittingly prophesies that "it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish." Jesus dies for the people. But in what sense? In this message Pastor Ben will explain the meaning of Jesus' death. 

If you plan to attend in person, please click here and read through our updated protocols and parking information prior to arrival. Please note that the lower P1 & P2 underground parking is now open. Please attend services when you have no cold, flu, or COVID-19 symptoms (even mild ones).

We are continuing to look for help with clearing up P1 Level! We'll be working on Rooms P102 and P103 (moving furniture and Christmas Trees), reinstalling light covers (fixture lens) and organizing the new storage at Room P101 (labeling and organization of the storage). We will also need help taking donations to goodwill and recycling to the depot. Dates & Time: Wednesday & Thursday Nov. 23 & 24 | 9:30am-1pm. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Please email Este (estefani@fraserlands.ca) if you are available.

On Friday November 25, the same night as our “Lights of Christmas” tree decorating at FLC, there will be an “Evening in Nineveh” event that will include a Middle Eastern dinner at 6pm followed by a live video call from Nineveh at 7pm-8:30pm to share some highlights/videos of what our denomination has been involved with. It will be a great opportunity for us to see what God is doing in that part of the world and with our C&MA international workers who are serving there.

If you plan to attend the dinner, please register at the link below. Deadline is this Sunday Nov. 20th.

If you plan to attend the video call portion, please arrive by 6:45pm in the Sanctuary as the Live Video Call will start promptly at 7pm.
