This past weekend our team gathered at Forest Cliff Camp for our staff retreat. Friday we focused on vision and planning for 2026, and Saturday many spouses joined us for connection, encouragement, and fun.

STAFF PICKS -- "2025 marked the 1700th anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea, where the Nicene Creed was established. In light of this, it feels like a great time to give Glenn Packiam's most recent book a read. Why? Because "What's A Christian Anyway?" offers a thoughtful and accessible introduction to the Nicene Creed, along with a practical, compelling vision for the mission and purpose of the church that is deeply rooted in this ancient statement of faith." -- Trish Haq, Pastor (Care, Prayer, Preaching)

This is a wonderful opportunity for men, young and experienced, to connect with one another, share experiences, and sharpen one another. Whether you are new to our church or a familiar face, you are warmly invited to join us on March 7. Come ready to enjoy a delicious brunch and connect with other men in the church. -- northpark.ca/register

Thanks North Park for another great year of pancake dinner.

The next round of North Park Kids start on Tuesday evening. We will continue diving deeper into our Sunday morning teachings from the book of Acts, as well as participate in an elective of either art group, woodworking, sports, board games, or ukulele. -- northpark.ca/register

We invite you to join us for this special service on Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent. Let's join our hearts and minds together as we journey to Easter.

One of our favourite events of the year is one week away. We can wait to gather together as a community to eat pancakes and sausages and connect with one another as we turn our minds and hearts toward Easter. -- Pancake Supper: Tuesday February 17 from 4:30–7:30pm

Celebrating a powerful night of worship on Friday evening.

16 brave souls made it outside for our toboggan party this past (very cold) weekend. The others enjoyed some good company and delicious hot chocolate inside.

STAFF PICKS -- "I really enjoyed this book as it offers a very practical approach to spiritual disciplines and practices. It acknowledges that we all live habitual lives, whether we recognize it or not. For example, a lot of us wake up in the morning and turn on our phones before doing anything else, but do we realize how that is forming (or de-forming) us? Earley gives examples of daily, as well as weekly practices to participate in that centre us on Jesus and help us frame every day on His unfailing love. This book helped me identify the habits that I was making for myself, how they were affecting me, and how I could replace them with habits that point towards formation in Christ." -- Cody Smit, Director (Junior High Ministry)

Families are invited to bring a lunch and their snow gear for an after church Toboggan party on Sunday, January 25 from 12:30pm to 3:00pm. The church will remain open for use of washrooms and we will have hot chocolate! Parents will be responsible for their own children. There is no cost for this event & no registration required.

Join us this coming Friday, January 23 at 7:00pm for an evening dedicated entirely to worshiping God together as a church family. Whether you're young or old, whether you usually sing loudly or prefer to worship quietly, whether you've been part of our church for years or this is your first time—you belong here. This is a night for our entire church family, and we truly want everyone there. Let's fill the room with praise together.

We have created a playlist of the song that our community is singing each week. Just search "North Park Worship Playlist" in Spotify and enjoy!

You might remember before Advent we were working our way through the book of Daniel. This week we'll be jumping back into Daniel right where we left off and continuing through the rest of the book throughout the coming weeks. Join us Sunday at 9:00am or 11:00am.

This week we'll be collecting baked goods and snack items for our friends at Sanctuary London. They especially love home cooked baked goods, so if you're looking for an indoor activity this cold weekend, we encourage you to bake something delicious for those who visit Sanctuary London.

As we step into a new year together, we pause with grateful hearts and hopeful spirits. While we never know what a new year will bring, through Christ, we know how the story ends. Guided by His Spirit, may we become people who listen well, serve generously, and love boldly. In the midst of uncertainty, may we display trust in our loving God. In moments of weariness, may we labor in the Spirit to bring renewal. Amidst division, may we foster unity in Christ. May we be a community that reflects God’s grace in our words and His compassion in our actions. Lead us forward together, Lord, grounded in faith and confident in Your goodness. Amen.

As we look back at 2025, we are grateful for an incredible year of ministry, community, and growing together in faith, and excited for all that God has in store for us as a church community in 2026.

STAFF PICKS -- "One of my family’s greatest challenges is finding good, intentional rhythms in the midst of our busy schedules. I’m guessing we’re not alone in this. Our lives are filled with activities and commitments, and finding intentional time to focus on spiritual formation in our homes can be difficult. In ‘The Intentional Year’, Holly & Glenn Packiam offer readers an opportunity to take stock of the ways that we’re practicing a life with Christ in our families, plan with intention and put these practices into action. They look at rhythms like prayer, rest, renewal, relationships and our work and how we can be more thoughtful in each of those spaces. As you’re starting out your year as a family, this may be an excellent read!" -- Josh Black, Pastor (Family Ministries, Young Adults) This book is available at the church library, open Sunday morning between and following each service.

Merry Christmas from all of us at North Park Community Church! We would love to see you for our carol service this afternoon at 3:00pm. Join us in celebrating the joy of Christmas!

Huge thank you to everyone who participated in our Dare to Give campaign in support of our friends at @missionserviceslondon! 1000 bags were collected and the items you filled them with have gone to Mission Services for them to use to care for those in need in our community throughout the year. We love the work they do in our city and it's so great to partner with them in such a practical way.

A little glimpse into one of our favorite events of the year! We love hosting Lord Elgin School for Turkey Dinner every year.

Thanks to everyone who has picked up a bag to participate in our Dare to Give campaign. If you still have a bag at home or on a seat in your car, don't forget to fill it and return it to the church this weekend so we can get the items to Mission Services. -- northpark.ca/daretogive

Last night at our “A Very Merry Mystery” event It was great to have families come out, have fun, make memories, and celebrate Christmas—all while trying to solve a mystery!

The Young Professionals hosted some of the older North Park leaders for an evening of intergenerational conversations. An awesome opportunity for conversations and connections across age groups where each got to hear the thinking and heart of the other. Already looking forward to the next one!

Christmas is coming, and we’d love to celebrate with you. As you make plans with your families and loved ones, we hope you’ll join us for a Christmas Eve or Christmas Day service and reflect on the hope, joy, peace, and love found in Jesus’ birth. -- northpark.ca/christmas

Advent starts this weekend and we are decorated and ready to go!

Tonight we celebrate the final night of Alpha. It has been a safe space to meet new people and talk about and wrestle with life's big questions and enjoy a delicious meal together.

STAFF PICKS -- "This short book is one of the church’s most beloved expositions of the glory of the Incarnation. It is written by the then 23-year-old Athanasius, one of the most significant figures in church history. God used Athanasius to see clearly in His Word the glory of the Incarnation, and we continue to benefit from that today. Allow this brother of ours to lead us to a renewed vision of the wonders of what God has done for us." -- Joel Miles, Pastoral Co-Lead Free copies are available in the church lobby (or at northpark.ca/christmas). If you want a modern translation, there is a version available to purchase online called On The Incarnation: A Modern Translation. Our advent booklet (also available in the church lobby or on our website) outlines a reading plan to make our way through this book through the Advent season.

As the Advent season begins, we invite you to come and take a moment to pause, to worship, and to pray together. To rediscover our sense of hope, and to reflect on how our losses, our suffering, and our longings can actually help us to grasp the full meaning of Christmas. -- Sunday, November 30 7:00pm

It was great to hear from Tara from Mission Services this weekend and hear about the impact of the Dare to Give campaign has on the community here in London. We encourage everyone who has picked up a bag so far to fill it up this week and bring it back this weekend as our senior youth will be stopping by Mission Services on Wednesday to help sort the items for use. northpark.ca/daretogive

Congratulations to the 16 people who were baptized this weekend!

An "only if" kind of faith is a very human thing, but God is calling us to an "even if" kind of faith.

We are so excited to watch 16 brothers and sisters take the next step in their faith and go through the waters of baptism this weekend!

A glimpse of a powerful night of worship together at our worship night last week, lifting up the name of Jesus. We love worshipping together as a church family and we hope to do more of these nights in the future.

We love the work @missionserviceslondon does for those in need in our city. Every November, we partner with them in our Dare to Give Campaign to help provide them with basic items to help them help those in need in our community. Grab a bag, fill it with the items from the provided list, and return it to North Park by December 7. We'll then deliver it to Mission Services London to help supply basic needs to those most vulnerable in our community. -- For more information visit northpark.ca/daretogive

STAFF PICKS -- "My small group has been deeply blessed by studying Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table by Louie Giglio. We’re following the video series on RightNow Media, and many of us are also reading the book alongside it. Through the study of Psalm 23, this series helps us learn how to break free from destructive thought patterns and bring our emotions to God as we walk through life’s challenges." -- Janine Campos, Office Manager This book is available at the North Park library, and the video series is available on Right Now Media (free access to Right Now Media is available at northpark.ca/resources )

Thanksgiving came early for our 60+ group!

"The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified." Romans 8:26-30

As we journey through Romans 8, we are encouraging you to commit to memorize all of, or key parts of this magnificant chapter. By committing these passages to heart, we remind ourselves of the unshakeable truths that condemnation has been removed, every good gift is ours in Christ, and no power in the universe can separate us efrom His love. Memorizing this passage helps those unshakeable reach the deepest places of our hearts. If memorizing scripture sounds daunting, we have chosen a key verse from every section of Romans 8 and have written songs in a memorizable and family friendly way to help you out. You can stream these songs on Spotify or Apple Music (search for North Park Worship) or on our YouTube channel.

Wishing all the teachers, students, parents, and administrative staff a great first day back to school. We are praying for your day and school year.

STAFF PICKS -- "It is comforting to know that the valley we are in is God's valley. Whatever the valley you are walking through, Jesus is not ahead asking for directions, nor is He lost. He knows where He is leading you. Reading this book made me pause and ask, "How far have I wandered from Him?" It gave me the opportunity to reset my life around His presence. In every season, I can delight in His leading, confident that He is guiding me home. Psalm 23 is a triumphant song of praise to the God who fetches us and brings us home. The journey is long, so we need a Shepherd; it's dangerous, so we need a Companion; it's wearisome, so we need a Host. Yet through it all, we move toward one ultimate destination: the restoration of our return to the house of the Lord." -- Ken Rop, Pastor of Discipleship & Small Groups This book is available at the church library (open Sundays following both services)

Explore the meaning of life and the basics of Christian Faith. Why are we here? Who is Jesus? How does God guide us? Have questions about Christianity? At Alpha you can ask hard questions.
