BEAR CREEK COMMUNITY CHURCH

 Worship Services  

WORSHIP . . . provides opportunities to touch heaven and be touched by God. Every individual has been created with a God-shaped hole deep inside that only God can fill. Inspiring, lively music and worship, accompanied by engaging biblical preaching, special features, meaningful rituals, and heartfelt prayer enable participants to regularly come into the presence of God. Several gifted worship teams take turns in leading each Sunday, regularly guiding worshippers into the presence of God to be touched by Him.

When one thinks of worship like a stage production, we understand that the worship team are the prompters, the congregation are the actors and God is the audience. When we come to worship, we do not come to be entertained and act as critics of those up front! Rather, we come to worship with our whole being and God is the one who judges the quality of our worship. Our desire is that each Sunday God would be pleased and blessed by what we offer up to Him!

• Let your hungry heart experience this on Sunday mornings, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. as the English-speaking congregation comes together to worship.

• The Punjabi Christian Centre gathers to worship in the downstairs chapel Sunday mornings, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. This service is conducted primarily in the Punjabi language.

• A friendly time of visiting over coffee or juice follows the worship services at approximately 11:30 a.m. This is a great time to get acquainted with worshippers from both congregations.  

MESSAGE . . . we believe a person can find joy and meaning in life, and a right relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It’s really true! The messages each Sunday, whether by one of our pastors or an occasional guest, always seek to communicate this positive, uplifting message. Let God’s Word, the Bible – His love letter to us, speak to the realities of your life and its challenges.  Most messages are made available for listening to on our website at: http://bearcreekcc.org/audio.htm

SEASONAL SPECIALS . . . A variety of seasonal services or events are held in the course of each year. Some of these include:

•  In the past "Christmas" Pudding was an annual "sold out" dessert/drama presentation. This is still done from time to time. Stay tuned for more information and future dates for this event.

• Christmas Eve – a candlelight service including communion on the eve of the celebration of Christ’s birth, held at 6:30 pm.

• Good Friday – a 10:00 a.m. service, unique every year, remembering the suffering and death of our Lord Jesus Christ, and commemorated with the Lord’s Supper celebration.

• Easter Celebration & Baptism Service – which usually includes a good group of baptismal candidates who are ready to publicly take their stand for Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.

• Christmas Banquet, Valentine’s Banquet, Spring or Fall Baptisms, Summer BBQ/Picnics in our Church Park, Fall Ministry Fair . . . these are just some of the other extra special events that are held in the course of the year.
