Our Ministry

Connecting With Creation: Join Rev. Rebecca for a beach fire on Middle Cove Beach on Sunday, July 28, weather permitting. We will gather on the beach for a fire starting at 5:00 p.m. Contact Rev. Rebecca for more information. This weather-permitting event will be announced in worship on June 28, or contact Rev. Rebecca for confirmation.
Supporting our Youth Mission Program this Summer: Gower is hosting a youth mission program for youth from across Canada this summer. We are asking for volunteers to help assist the program between July 27th and August 4th. We need drivers to drop youth to and from our missionary sites and any home-cooked meals or treats. We are thankful for any and all contributions made to the program! If you have any questions about our needs or would like to volunteer, please contact Rev. Rebecca.
Part of hosting the Youth Mission program this summer is to billet the staff who will be joining us on July 20th until the program starts on July 27th. If you have extra space in your home and would be willing to host Hopelyn this week, please reach out to Rev. Rebecca.
Etcetera Productions: On Thursday, June 27th, at the Arts and Culture Centre, Justin and Megan perform on the Main Stage, along with the performers from the Music Studios of Etcetera Productions. Performances are enhanced by a stage band, and it’s a great family show. Our Gower Street Church Choir members Justin and Megan, as well as Amber, Emma, Gabrielle, Lia, Lucas, Riley, and Ty, are featured performers and hope to see you there! Information about Etcetera 36: Come Alive is available on the Arts and Culture Centre website: https://artsandculturecentre.com/stjohns/Online/default.asp
