Annual FCA Convention in Canada
Richfield Christian Fellowship (Millwoods, Edmonton)
Keynote: the prophetic Pastor Rick Parkyn (Regina Apostolic Church) Many other great sessions. Info at www.fcaoc.org (click conventions) Register today—Travel on Tuesday!
The Fellowship of Christian Assemblies (FCA) is the group of churches and ministers in Canada that we belong to. Alberta is privileged to host two special conventions for our Fellowship within the next 7 months. The annual Canadian conference is noted above. The second opportunity will be the International Convention to be held in Red Deer this coming April 20-22. Two conventions of our Fellowship right here in our province. This will probably not happen again for many years. Plan to come and enjoy!
What influences your attitude/perspective on life? The greatest blessing you will receive is when you give. I believe that Servus Credit Union is promoting the message of kindness with their new program. They are giving a ten dollar bill to all who come to their facility to be used to provide a random act of kindness to someone with the ten dollars. What a wonderful initiative by a banking institution! Makes me proud to be a member! Perhaps this is kingdom thinking? To God be the glory!
