This time of year our churches in Southwest Nova find meaningful ways to support the lobster fishing industry and all the families engaged in the start of the season on Dumping Day.

• This month, Yarmouth (AJ Plaizier) offered five fisherman’s services at Yarmouth Wesleyan, Coastal, & South campuses across the network. They also took Jesus into two new communities and offered “one off” fisherman’s services in Pubnico and Wedgeport. There were also opportunities for coffee deliveries to the wharfs with additional prayers and tangible expressions of ministry.

Joanne Ozon (Hope) shared a video at their Fisherman’s Service which included interviews with five local fishermen. CLICK HERE to be inspired with their testimonies.

West Head (Vince Robertson) had more than 70 in attendance for their Fisherman’s Service which included a fun skit with two ladies putting on fishing gear while wearing oven mitts.

Framework (Jason Blaikie) delivered or gave away almost 500 meals at its annual Thanksgiving dinner outreach. Jason shared, “One of our meals was given to a man living in a camper. A church member saw him in a parking lot and asked to meet at Lowe’s by 11:00am on Thanksgiving day. They showed up at his camper in Lowe’s parking lot with a meal in hand and they were able to talk with and pray for him. So many have reasons they can’t have a special dinner on Thanksgiving. In this outreach we try our best to be in people’s home, sharing a meal (or at least delivering one) and the love of Christ with as many as we can.”

Clean water touches every aspect of our lives. And access to nearby clean water changes the game for vulnerable communities! This Christmas we are celebrating “When the Clean Water Came…” and inviting your church to partner with World Hope to help see transformation happen around the world. We have put together resources for you to make this easy from videos, to talking points, to social media posts and more!

The energy and excitement of fall momentum is palpable. These are the easiest days to slip into old habits… to our peril of both cause and soul. Tyler Stanton gives us a phenomenal reminder about the essential rhythms of Vine-abiding that come through an intentional Rule of Life.
