Celebrating Staff Excellence:

Heda Arthur

Today, we joyfully celebrate Heda Arthur, an extraordinary woman whose life beautifully reflects faith, love, compassion, and selfless service!

A devoted mother of three sons and five grandsons, Heda has poured her heart into her family while faithfully serving the church for more than a decade. Through her dedicated service in Sanctuary Coordination, the Food Bank, Clothing Bank, Children’s Ministry, and Intercessory Ministry, she has consistently demonstrated what it means to serve with love and excellence.

Heda also carries a deep passion for older adults and seniors, advocating for them and championing their ability to age with grace, dignity, and purpose.

With every warm smile, welcoming greeting, helping hand, and thoughtful act of kindness, Heda has helped countless people feel seen, valued, welcomed, and loved. Her quiet faithfulness, unwavering commitment, and humble spirit are a powerful testimony of God’s love in action.

She has never served for recognition, but from a sincere desire to honour God and bless others. Her faithfulness has touched countless lives, and her example continues to inspire everyone who has the privilege of knowing her.

Today, we celebrate her. We honour her. We thank her. And above all, we thank God for the incredible blessing she is to her family, her church, and our community.

“...your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”

📖 1 Corinthians 15:58

Congratulations, Heda! We celebrate you and thank God for your faithful service!

Virtual Home Groups 2.0:

Your Care Journey Starts Here!

VHGs function as small communities within the wider church, gathering virtually to discuss biblical topics, share insights, and support one another. Each group is organized by geographical location, allowing members to connect with those who live nearby.

🙌🏾 What we need from you:

• Join a group if you haven’t yet; there’s a place for you.
• Re-engage your group if you’re a returning member.
• Invite someone who needs community this year.
• Pray with us as we believe for lives to be transformed.

This is more than a program: It’s how we build community, strengthen discipleship, and live out the gospel together.

The Whole Life Project Initiative:
