It has been almost a year since we started to oversee the ministry at Tsawwassen Community Church, together with Owen and Lusine White and Garry and Brenda Horwood. It has been our goal to continue the Sunday evening service which includes a time of worship, a message, and fellowship over a shared meal so as to provide a time to gain trust, make connections, and build friendships. We also have the opportunity to connect with those who come to the Wednesday food bank and invite them to come to the Sunday service. We recently had two men who joined us for our Thanksgiving service! They were both genuinely blessed and thankful for a place to go to on a holiday which they might have otherwise spent alone.
God has also been faithful in leading others to have a heart for this ministry. One dear sister has played an integral role in helping us connect with those who live in Tsawwassen First Nation where she and her husband have lived for over thirty years. Interestingly, she used to attend the same church that we now refer to as TCC on Easters with her husband and his family. After years of being distant from God, through the prayers of her husband and encouragement from her parents, Shirley renewed her relationship with God and began attending TCC about three years ago. We first met her when she renewed her membership of SDBC six months ago. She is amazed at God’s timing and now has a passion to see other family and TFN members find fellowship at the church that some used to attend and to see the lives of those living with addictions or in poverty to be restored. Her prayers are already being answered as her niece and nephew have both recently come to faith and have felt welcomed and accepted in our small supportive community. The TCC team is so thankful for the work God is doing and are excited to see more God stories in the days ahead.
