Exciting News From Pastor Jim

Message From Pastor Jim
Hello Everyone.
March is now in full swing and we are excited about this coming Spring and events that fill our March Calendar.
This weekend we have our annual pot luck dinner in Castlegar (1801 Connors Rd) at 5 pm on Saturday. Our worship service follows immediately after. In Nelson we meet for lunch immediately following the Sunday worship at 1 pm in KCF Hall (812 Stanley St). Please feel welcome to attend either events or both. This is a good time to connect and enjoy each other’s company.
The “Truth Project” is now in full swing in Castlegar on Tuesday and will start in Nelson on March 11 in Nelson. For more information on the small group contact our church office or go to our website.
We are actively looking for a pastoral intern that could possibly work into a full time position with us. Your prayers on this would be greatly appreciated.
Every four months we have a “volunteer appreciation” night. On this night we do various things like entertain, learn things that make our life better, and of course, pat each other on the back. This is a small way for us to say, we APPRECIATE YOU! Each event is unique and entertaining, but only those that volunteer are invited to attend. Our next volunteer night will be Sunday May 2 at 6:30 pm at KCF hall. We provide child care, cheese cake and for this night only we have special entertainment coming in from Alberta - Nick Blackwood and John Syratt. Nick has a music cd out, is active in the Christian Motorcycle Association and is a well known as a stand up comic. His entertainment shtick has taken all the way to the Alberta Conservative Cabinet Christmas party. For Volunteer Appreciation Night, he is teaming up with John Syratt, also an excellent musician and comedian. You will want to come. But you have to be a volunteer on this quarter. So if you haven’t signed up yet, we have a list of jobs that you can get involved with. Go to our website under volunteer opportunities and email us with your choice of service. Also, there will be a sign up sheet at both our church services. Together we can make a difference in our community plus volunteering benefits our own lives as well.
This weekend I am going to be speaking about “feeling useful”. It is amazing how one can be active, busy, and dog tired at the end of the day but still feel like nothing has been accomplished. A “empty” feeling weights heavy at the bottom of your soul. God has a better plan to make your step light and burden easy.
Look forward to seeing you this weekend.
Jim Reimer, Pastor

The Truth Project introduced by Dr. Dobson
Kootenay Christian Fellowship
At Kootenay Christian Fellowship we take Micah 6:8 seriously. It says, "He has told you, O man (church), what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”
There are three things that God asks of his people: To act justly, to love being kind, and to walk humbly.
Just think what a great world we would have if we all promoted justice. If we spoke up for the weak and protected the vulnerable. Add to that acts of kindness. Not kindness that is out of duty, but where a group of people actually loved doing kind things. Such a people we desire to be. And then lastly, what voice would we have if we were proud of our goodness. Would we not be just like the religious bigots everyone loves to hate. We desire to be a people that are willing to get our hands dirty, our knees bent, and our feet on the ground.
In this website you will find information and opportunities. But our most sincere prayer is that we will get to know you and you and us will get to know God. If we can assist you in any way, please email your concern to one of the people on our contact information page. We want to be a blessing to you. Come and share a day of worship with us. We meet every Sunday in the Central Educational Centre located on the Corner of Ward and Mill street in Nelson, BC. Our worship time is 10:00 am on Sundays.
Pastor Jim Reimer
