• Denn shared, “I’ve never felt more helpless as a pastor than how I felt as I watched our community burn. With over 16,000 people evacuated, we thank God for no loss of life, but we grieve with those in our community and church family who have lost their homes.”

Cornerstone opened the Windgate location for prayer for the families and fire fighters. By Monday evening it was confirmed three church family homes were gone with several more waiting for confirmation. Our HRM Lead Pastors will provide updates in the days ahead for how we can tangibly support those affected by these tragic events.

• Keynote messages from Kevin Myers (12Stone), Justin Beesley (Hope City), and Brent Ingersoll were engaging and anointed with top notch delivery and challenge.

There were also great snacks and fun – the bull riding was a favourite for those as brave as Andy Phillips (The Reach) who is pictured above giving it a try!

• CLICK HERE for an inspiring promotional video to encourage your church family to be part of this powerful journey of intercession. This past week in Amherst, Evan Oxner shared, “On Tuesday we participated in the Canadian Wesleyan National Prayer Tour, by doing a Prayer Walk in five different locations across town. There were a few neat community connections from it, lots of insights from the Holy Spirit and I think a strong statement to the enemy that he has no claim on our kids or this town!”

Locations this week are…

Tuesday: The Ridge (Mike Agrell), Maple Ridge, NB
Wednesday: Woodstock Wesleyan (Dale MacDonald), NB
Thursday: Hartland Wesleyan (Dave Wilcox/Brian Murray), NB
Friday: Perth Andover Wesleyan (Dave Hartlen), NB

• Church is never about one, Church is about many. Pastors cannot do what we do without those who come alongside. (Glen McVicar)
• There is nothing more powerful than a legion of men in worship! (Brent Ingersoll)
• You have a Person bigger than your problems therefore you have a purpose bigger than your problems. God doesn’t exist to solve your problems; He wants to help you accomplish your purpose. (Kevin Myers)

• All middle school, high school, and young adults are welcome to come discover their kingdom calling. We are expectant for God to move in mighty ways. Mark your calendar for December 28-30, 2023 in Cincinnati, Ohio.
