UPCOMING EVENTS
SWITCH - Student Leadership Development
October 13th, 10am
(Seasonal Commitment)
Hey parents! For this upcoming season we are switching our Jr. High Church Model to one that sees our young students become not just listeners, but practical doers of what they learn. So for October, we are implementing a program that we like to call: “SWITCH” for your student in Grades 6-8.
“SWITCH” is a term-based Leadership Development Program that helps your student learn what it means to take on responsibility, and volunteer with excellence. We are looking to do this because we believe very deeply in the future generations of the church. We need to be intentional and practically minded in how we do that. So we’re taking practical steps to work towards this goal on Sunday mornings.
Sr. High Thanksgiving Bake Sale
After Church, Sunday, October 13th
Encounter Church’s Sr. High students are hosting their annual Thanksgiving Fundraising Bake Sale! Join us on Thanksgiving Sunday after the service to snag some delicious additions to your Thanksgiving Dinner!
All proceeds will support our Sr. High events and activities throughout the year. Donations are welcome, and if you'd like to contribute a dessert, it would be a huge help! Bring your family, enjoy some goodies, and help make a difference for our youth.
We appreciate your support! We look forward to seeing you there!
Volunteer Appreciation Lunch
October 20th, 12pm
On Sunday October 20th, if you are or have been a volunteer within our ministries over the last year, you are invited to our Volunteer Appreciation Lunch.
We just want to honour you and the service that you have given to our ministries over this past year. Kids of Leaders are also invited.
Encounter Outdoor Backyard Campout
October 25th - 26th, 6pm-11am
Parents, Don’t Miss Out! Encounter Church is excited to host our Overnight Fall Backyard Retreat — an amazing opportunity for your students in Grade 8 to 12 to unplug, connect with friends, and grow in their faith! This is more than just a sleepover; it’s a time of fun, worship, and community in a safe, Christ-centred environment. With games, campfire sessions, meaningful worship, and powerful small group discussions, your students will build lasting memories while deepening their relationship with God.
If you are interested, sign up begins this week at $40 per person. If you bring a friend they come free! It is a perfect opportunity to bring a friend for a night of connection and growth. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. We can’t wait to see your students there!
