Christmas Eve Offering
Christmas Eve offering has been a tradition for SPL. 100% of the funds donated go outside of the church to our community. This year, our Christmas Eve offering will help support the six different food banks in our area during the upcoming winter months.
All of us have been impacted in different ways by the challenges of this COVID season, but a special thank you to our local food banks. These organizations & their volunteers are part of our “frontline support network” providing our community with the “essential service” of access to food.
You can help families in our communities going through tough times right now. How?
- Volunteering to pick up groceries for your local food bank with donated funds.
- Dropping food donations into the bins at your grocery store.
- Giving to our Christmas Eve offering.
- If you’d like to volunteer at a local food bank in your area, please contact Ryan Lamoureux at ryanplamoureus@gmail.com.
Thank you for your generosity towards families who need a helping hand this season.

James 3:1-18 -James is at it again! He has a real concern for the words that Christians use on themselves, with each other and with the world. Our tongues (James' favourite image for our words) can cause such destruction, and they are nearly impossible to control.
James 2:14-26 -James continues to press deep into the muscles and tissues of our faith. Is your faith doing what it was designed to do? Just like you might go to the doctor for a physical check-up, James offers a self-administered faith check-up in this passage. Where do you see signs of life in your faith?
James 1:19-27 - James is direct: angry words, thoughtless words, and religious words don’t have a place in a life of faith. Our words don’t work … but God’s word does! Our job is simply to cooperate with his word.
James 1:1-8 - James gets right down to business! For everyone not currently soaking in a hot tub, suffering is a first order of business. In just a few verses, James explains how trials can grow maturity, how wisdom helps the journey, and how to avoid wasting a suffering experience.
Empowered Baptism is recognized throughout the Church as the beginning of a ‘God thing.’ John’s baptism was a visible demonstration of the start of a new life — clearing out the junk to prepare for what God was about to do. Jesus’ baptism reveals the true heart of baptism: God’s desire to bless and express His delight. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the start of the Kingdom. Ordinary women and men were now filled with the Spirit of Jesus to continue on the ministry Jesus started.
Luke 3:21-22 -At Jesus’ baptism, the Father said, “You’re my son. I love you. I’m proud of you.” As Christians, our baptism is a sign that we are in Christ, that what is true about him is true about us, and that the Father’s blessing now defines us.
