December 10th Worship Service
“Fleeing for Their Lives”
Presenter: Asif Khan and the U5 sponsoring group
Worship Associate: Jane Vallentyne & Keith Germaine
10:30am Pacific Time In Person and On Zoom
Asif will speak about the Johnson family who had to flee Pakistan 10 years ago due to religious persecution. They are currently hiding from the police in Thailand where refugee status is not recognized. If caught, the whole family could disappear in Thai jails indefinitely. Asif will show a video of the Johnson family with the hopes that it will inspire us to contribute to the fundraiser.
About our presenter:
Asif Khan knew the Johnson family during his time as a refugee in Thailand. Asif was in the same situation as the Johnsons – he and his family of 11 fled persecution in Pakistan after doing social justice work at great risk and subsequent torture. Sponsored 5 years ago, they have adapted beautifully to Canadian life and now in his work with Kelowna Community Resources he is committed to supporting the Johnson family sponsorship.

December 17th Worship Service
“Hey, we need a birth story!”
Presenter: Rev. Brian Kiely (in person)
Worship Associate: Linda Guebert
10:30am Pacific Time In Person and On Zoom
​
The writing and assembling of the Bible has always fascinated me. When we look at the times and context in which it was written, we find something far richer and far less dogmatic than some would claim. Today I want to look at the Jesus birth story and try to make some sense of it, hopefully without undermining its message of hope.
