WHY I LOVE TO BE A PART OF Living Grace Fellowship

"I have been a member of the Living Grace Fellowship for the last 14 years, and I consider being part of this fellowship to be one of the greatest blessings of my life. I appreciate the balanced approach of the message that we hear every week. There are no false promises of health and wealth, nor human-based speculation about prophecy and world events. Just the gospel of Jesus Christ and the true Bible-based promises that are indisputable.

I enjoy belonging to a smaller congregation where you know everyone's name. It is also easier to become involved in serving in various ministries, even for the more timid, who might not get a chance to develop their gifts in a larger setting. I find our congregation lives up to its name as being a grace-filled and harmonious place to worship!"

"Firstly, I have been a part of the Calgary congregation since 1973 and so know the members of our congregation. I know what many of their struggles have been, have prayed for them and with them over the years, have shared laughter and tears, have shared accomplishments and failures. And they have been part of my struggles and have prayed for me over the years as well. So it's nice walking into church services and knowing that I have spiritual family and friends with whom I have walked and worked in the body of Christ, literally for decades.

Having known our members for many years, I know that there are people with whom I can discuss personal struggles and issues and that they will not judge me for struggles. They will instead pray for me and help provide the encouragement that all of us require in our daily Christian walk. This helps me feel like I'm not carrying a burden on my own.

Another reason I like attending our congregation is that, because it is a small congregation, there are many opportunities to serve others. One can be as involved in ministries as one is gifted and as one has the energy and time to devote to those ministries.

The last reason which I would like to mention that I enjoy attending our congregation is that we have a forward looking church council. The council is willing to recommend and help implement changes that are expected to be helpful for the congregation, even when the change(s) may involve some degree of risk. The council is open in its meetings; members are free to discuss what they feel, even if that is not what the rest of council is voicing. Members are supportive of each other and work together as a team to endeavor to let God use them to move our congregation in the direction of Lord wishes us to move."

"I appreciate the individual instruction and explanation of the word of God from a Teacher\Preacher who knows the Bible and is able to lead me to a much better understanding of the bread of life - the real LIFE.

I have been part of my congregation for just over 26 years, we have grown together and gone through so many family ups and downs - weddings and funerals, hospitalities in joy and happiness to hospital visits in prayers and faith, hope and encouragement. We love to socialize, share food and picnics. We are Family and there is nowhere else I would rather be on Sunday afternoon; they mean so much to me even more than some of them know. All this combined I say that I have a great reason to Love this congregation."
