Dilico Christmas Wish Bags | Pick up Nov. 17
For over a decade and a half, the broader Thunder Bay community has come together to fill Dilico Christmas Wish bags and bring joy to children in need during the holiday season.
We are eager to, once again, participate in this tradition of lovingly and generously filling hundreds of Christmas Wish bags for babies, children & youth in need this holiday season, and grateful to Dilico for making this initiative possible.
Bags will be available at the church beginning Sunday, Nov. 17 and will need to be returned to the church by Sunday Dec. 1.

Celebrating Our Stories
Each week we as a staff gather in various configurations and spend time sharing some of the stories we are constantly hearing about the things God is doing in our midst. And friends, God is doing so much... many things are happening in hidden places (often the way that God does his best work) that we can't yet share, but there are also many things happening in full view that we are humbled to bear witness to. Rather than just keeping all of these stories to ourselves we thought that Thanksgiving weekend would be a fitting time to share some of them with you. So, on Sunday, October 13, we had the joy of hearing a trio of stories stemming from the question, "What has God done in your life this past year?"
Larry shared about how the Lord, through the RPM ministry, has been inviting him to move beyond just "checking the boxes" to really knowing and being known by God.
Torika shared about the beautifully profound and challenging experience of moving deeper into reconciliation with herself and her identity as she spent time in one of her ancestral lands, Fiji.
In the middle of these two stories we heard about Ray & Eleanor Dunn - two people that over the last year and beyond have exemplified our Redwood value of Hospitality so beautifully. We're so grateful to them for allowing us to haul all our video equipment over to their house and to spend that time hearing about how and why they tangibly express the love of Christ the way they do... and for the taste of hospitality that I got to receive through sharing a meal with them and their friends.
