One of the strange and wonderful markers of a Christian is a surprising kind of joy. It is a joy that is unique from worldly happiness, because it is not dependant on our circumstances being favourable and it is not self-centred. If you google search “happiness” you’ll quickly see that happiness is a billion dollar industry. It is on the contemporary mind. It’s easy to be swept away in the tide of media that says you deserve your personal happiness above all things. Is this what Jesus says to us? Does God care about our joy, or does he want us to carry our cross? Do we have to give up our toys to carry our cross? How can we find this unshakeable joy that loves others? We can find it through faith in Christ, we can hold onto it through hope in suffering, and we pour our that same joy to others in sacrificial love.

Please pray for the team as they are preparing! We look forward to worshipping with you on Sunday. 

You are invited to stay after the Sunday Service for pasta and salad in the field! Thank you to Island Adventure Camp for hosting this meal for the entire congregation, and thanks to those who participated by contributing food throughout the week. There will be gluten free options available.

Please bring a chair or a blanket for the event.

Are you ready for total racing mayhem? Ever tried to drive a car using an inner tube for a steering wheel, or had everyone shout directions at you while you're driving backwards? Join the youth on Tuesday at 6pm for Epic Cart Racing. 

If you need to prepare for driving classes or real life road tests this is definitely NOT going to help.

Come have fun (even if you are not good at video games because NO ONE will be good at what we have planned!)

Who will win the ultimate racing cup of extreme awesomeness?? (Brian promises it's a legit trophy)

Big shout out to Tim's InfoTech as a sponsor for this event!

Campbell River Baptist Church is delighted to announce we are supporting a new local missionary couple, Jacob and Rachel Hwang. Jacob and Rachel have 6 children, Yohan, Joy, Joseph, Abigail, Joshua, and Rahab. They have served in a remote village on Vancouver Island since 2016, living with the Ahousaht tribe. The tribe is the largest tribe of the 14 Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations that reside on Vancouver Isalnd, and they have welcomed the Hwangs and consider them family. Please grab a copy of their latest newsletter on Sunday from the Welcome Shelf.
