We used previously recorded band music to start this recorded service. Do Not Be Anxious The troubles we have in a day are enough for one day.

Our Citadel Womens Ministry supports Brighter Futures every year. Our fundraising idea this year is homemade masks for $10 each. Thank you Sharon for your donation and time making masks for this project! Masks for stocking stuffers or as extras when you can’t find the other one. They are here at the church, with many colours and designs to choose from!

Not Cancelled! The tradition continues... brilliant magnificent plants will brighten the platform for in person Sundays (we are hopeful for) and definitely show wonderfully for our taped services. $14 is the cost of the plant. Call the church, comment here or email [email protected] to order your Dedication Poinsettia.

We’ve heard some of you are looking for new ideas for hand washing songs... here’s some suggestions you can try out...

Message from our Pastors : Hello everyone, As you may have heard this afternoon, we will not be meeting for church for at least the next 3 Sundays as we follow the latest Public Health Order. ... We will go back to recording our church service each week and send by email plus post on facebook. Thank you to Ron for his work that makes this possible. We will all be sad to miss out on the inperson service but at the same time thankful for the last 3 months we've been able to meet. As we join the many others of our congregation who have remained isolating at home let's remember each other in prayer and continue to reach out by phone and in notes. Kind Regards, Cathy and Les Burrows Stop and consider God's wonders. Job 37:14

Dear Citadel Family, Over the next seven weeks we are inviting each of us here, and at home, to come alongside each other in a united period of prayer. Each week we will look at one of the W5s of Prayer: WHO, WHY, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, and HOW As well as focus on one of the days in our Victoria Citadel Prayer Guide for Church Revitalization ... It will be exciting to see how the Lord works in each of our hearts and minds as He brings us together in united prayer with Him. This week we will focus on the WHO of prayer as well as Jesus’ church. We have attached a one-page document in the comments to guide our praying together. This means we as a church family will be reading the same scripture and praying for the same focus throughout this week. Our recorded Sunday Service will be coming to you sometime later today or tomorrow. We will be posting on face book and sending by email. If you would like a printed copy we would have them available at the church and would also be able to drop off to you if needed. We continue to cherish the many weeks we've gathered in person and eagerly anticipate after this break we will be regathering again. It would be so encouraging for us to reflect on the many ways and things that are not cancelled .... feel free to comment here your reflections on that truth... with love and prayers, Les & Cathy

Hey Guys, Youth group will be put on hold once again for the time being, we will work hard to support you in anyway we can and will find ways to hold youth events virtually. Jacquie and I will be here for you in anyway we can, our phones are always on and we’re happy to chat if you need it. We will keep you posted about our drive through event but for the time being assume we will still need volunteers but make sure to check in as we post updates. ...
