NO SUNDAY SCHOOL - Now that we are in the summer months, there will be NO Sunday school until the fall, Sunday, September 1st.

If you need help finding an activity pack for your child, ask Chelsea Martin or one of the ushers to help you locate one. 

MEMBERSHIP - If you are interested in membership or have questions as to what membership is all about, please speak with someone from the Leadership Team. To put it briefly, membership fulfils our obligation as a non-profit, but more importantly, it speaks to our commitment to one another and allows each member to hold one another accountable to biblical principles. 

ROKEBY MISSION UPDATE - We pray that this letter finds you enjoying the long days of summer. Rainy season is over, and we are not sure what to call this season. Maybe the rainy season leads into a melty season? Recently, daytime highs have been in the high 30s and the mid-40s when taking the humidity into account. As you can probably imagine, we have been spending more time indoors. Speaking of indoors, last week we hosted one of our neighbours for dinner. Mr. and Mrs. T have been very kind to us since we moved into the area. Click Here to Read More.

GIVING - is a form of worship.  It’s a way that we say thanks to God and serve our community. But it’s also a matter of perspective – keeping us grounded in the things that matter. You can also give via eTransfers donations@centralfellowship.ca or online at Give Online.
