Happy New Year to all of you! It's hard to believe we are already three days into January. Some of us are already back to our normal routines, while others still have a few days of break.

Wherever you may be, we encourage you to take some time to sit and dream a little with God about what you want your year to look like. It can be as big or small as you want it to be—there is no "one size fits all" answer to this! Whether it's a goal you want to achieve or a mindset you want to have, God will be with you through whatever you decide.

We pray a blessing on you as you venture into 2024! Good things are ahead!

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end."—Ecclesiastes 3:11 ESV

On December 31, 2023 Rev. Eldwyne Jones went to be with the Lord. El was an ACOP Member for many years, serving our Fellowship as a pastor, missionary, and District Presbyter. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, January 6, 2024 at First Alliance Church (12345 40 Street SE Calgary, Alberta). Interment to follow at a later date. Please keep his wife Gerri and the whole Jones family in your prayers.

A Calgary memorial service honouring the ministry legacy of Rev. Kenn Parker is planned for January 12, 2024, at 1:30 pm, at Southview Church (20200 Walden Blvd SE, Calgary AB). Kenn served and lived out God's call on his life over 47 years of ministry—impacting lives—many of us have personal stories.

In his memory, please send your memorial gift to the International Network Of Apostolic Ministry (INOAM). This is a Canadian Charity that receives funds from individuals and other Canadian charities. INOAM will fund the ministry of Linda Parker in the days ahead. Memorial Gifts may be mailed to INOAM (43 David Avenue, Dryden ON, P8N 2J6). E-transfers may be directed to (kparker4@shaw.ca). Charitable receipts will be issued for all gifts to INOAM.

Those wishing to give personal gifts to Linda may mail them directly to Linda Parker (RR # 4, Site 104, Box 49, Dryden ON, P8N 0A2). No receipts can be issued for personal gifts.

Kenn's loving family is planning a Celebration of Life later in 2024, read his obituary here.
