Haiti Updates
February 5, 2010
Message From Pastor Jim
Hello Everyone.
This week I have been praying, worshipping and strategizing with the FCA Elders in Edmonton. We are trusting that God is leading us as a Fellowship of Churches to make a lasting and powerful impact in Canada and around the world.
My message:
Love, what does it mean to you?
To a four year old named Parker, it means he doesn't want broccoli. As in, "Parker, do you want some "trees."' To which he replied, while shaking his head, "I don't love trees." What he was telling us is simply, he would only eat the things he loved. I wondered how a four year old came to grasp such a concept. I then began to wonder, are we motivated by love, or by our feelings; by love or by convenience; by love or by social pressure.
The bible says love is the greatest of all. It is a source of healing, it is the source for meaning, and it is life itself. Love, the bible says, is God. Well, this Sunday I want to expand on the idea, Love, what does it mean to you? Hope you will be able to join us.
Lunch Sunday
After the morning worship we will be gathering together for a pot luck lunch in KCF Hall located at 812 Stanley Street. We eat at 1 pm. Please consider making lunch as part of your Sunday activity. We value our friendships and the opportunity to get to know each other better.
Castlegar Christian Fellowship
Regretfully I will not be at the Saturday night meeting in Castlegar Christian Fellowship, as I have another commitment. However, Pastor Ken will be giving a good encouraging message and the worship will be great. The worship at CCF will be preceded by the monthly pot luck dinner. We eat at 5pm. Please consider this opportunity to fellowship and to get to know each other better as we share a meal together.
Haiti Arise
We are so thankful for the many people that have been raising funds for Haiti and specifically for Haiti Arise. To date, KCF has recieved $14, 171.85 to give to Haiti Arise. This money has been generously given by a variety of groups and individuals. Thanks to all.
Soon we will give a full update on what is happening with Haiti and with Haiti Arise.
Please be aware that KCFers and CCFers are welcome at either meeting. For times, news and scripture cards please go to our website at www.kootenaychristianfellowship.com
Look forward to seeing you this weekend.
Jim Reimer, Pastor

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
