Grand Opening Celebration! – Maitland River Community Church

Sunday, January 22nd, was our Grand Opening celebration! The doors opened at 9 am, and greeters welcomed guests for tours and coffee. It was a full house for our worship service at 10. Voices were lifted in joyful praise and worship. Pastor Henry encouraged us to be a church that welcomes in all people, even as Jesus invited Matthew, a hated tax-collector, to be His disciple. At the end of the service, Stephen Vanderklippe invited a few special guests to say a few words. North Huron Reeve Neil Vincent gave his best wishes for the future. The architect, Guy Bellehumeur and the Landmark builder, Rick Plantt, along with our church’s project coordinator, Doug Kuyvenhoven, were able to share about their good working relationship, and thoughts about the project. After that, we enjoyed a great lunch and fellowship with each other, and the children had a lot of fun in the bouncy castle. Indeed a day to celebrate all God’s goodness and faithfulness to us! We look forward to the future with joy and anticipation!
