| This is The Scoop, all you need to know about AVCRC this week February 6, 2026  |
| Please join us at 10:00 am for our Sunday Worship Service! Holy Communion is celebrated on the second Sunday of each month, unless otherwise announced.We welcome Pastor Zach Hillman Sermon Series – The Minor Prophets  Please Continue to Pray~ Give thanks and praise to the Lord from whom all blessings flow throughout the day, and all through the night. ~ Ask that we would be humbled to hear his word that is a lamp unto our feet, as it leads us along the path to lead us home. Ask for protection from distractions that can tempt us to lose our way. ~ Again, ask for protection and healing for those we know to be recovering from illness and injury. And again, remember all caregivers in our prayers. Church Renewal: Life cycles Pray for congregations in the CRC that are discerning their future. Many congregations are seeking God’s wisdom about what their next steps may be—whether to close, to restart, or to bless a new congregation with their resources. As congregations near the end of their life cycle, pray that the kingdom of God will continue to grow through the Lord’s churches.  Special OfferingFebruary – Salvation Army – Bread of Life: Providing food and health care for community members in the Port Alberni area. March – Guatemala: Our church has a contract with Resonate Global Missions and we have been supporting a youth center (Centro Alcance) in Guatemala since 2012.  We’ve got Winter Greens!! Come out to Spirit Square Farmers’ Market on Saturdays and pick up fresh Shelter Farm in season Salad Mix!! And don’t forget, we have also got lots of farm fresh eggs available as well. Can’t wait to see you there  For those who have been around the farm over the last year, you know the heart and soul that Riley has poured into this place! As of the end of January, Riley has officially stepped down from his role as Farm Manager. And with that, we want to wish him well on all his future endeavors!! But fear not, if you’re volunteering down at the farm this year, you may still occasionally see him helping in other capacities…  Ladies Lunch!

Janay G  Andrew Taylor * Has run tech for Northgate Church in Courtenay for years, and is also Five Acre Shaker’s lead tech. He’s the best around, and he’s a great guy too. He also does a great job of training. ** This is a great and easy way to get some volunteers started on audio tech. A good sounding mix is surprisingly helpful when it comes to leading your church in worship (and a bad sounding mix is equally distracting). This poster can be found on the bulletin board in the Fellowship Room   Change of address for Margrit and John DJ Now: 3535 Huff Drive V9Y 8H6.* Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for Margrit and a Great Big thanks to Roy Kleywegt who helped with renovations and our move.
