So we celebrate hope, peace, love and joy as we Come Behold the Glorious!

Advent Sundays
Advent is the name we give to the weeks leading up to Christmas!
We take the time to prepare our hearts and our lives for the coming celebration as Jesus comes to us!
Emmanuel, Messiah, Prince of Peace... all names for Jesus, and none quite describe Him fully.
Join us as we explore the depth of this waiting.
REPENT | RECEIVE | PREPARE | PEACE | GLORIFY!
4 Special Sunday Gatherings happening both In Person at Sauble Church and Online on our Youtube Page, all Sunday gatherings begin at 10am. Each week has a theme, a unique Message and this year, a unique musical style!
Finally, Christmas Eve finishes our Advent themes with a special 1 hour gathering, happening twice the evening of the 24th. Happening at 6pm and again at 8pm, we hope these two identical events will fit into your evening plans. A livestream version will be available at 6pm and replay-able any time after.
SCF Kids will also be hosting their weekly Sunday programs during our In Person Meeting.

It's here! The day we celebrate Jesus' birth!
This year Christmas Day happens to be a Sunday morning, but we've decided to gift our volunteer teams a morning off and provide all of us an Online experience. "Come Behold The Glorious" is intended to be an open experience for people to join in on whenever they are able to during their Christmas Day celebrations. Going live at 7am, this video will be accessible from our Youtube Page. |

Advent DevotionalEach Advent Season the Be In Christ Church of Canada gifts us a special daily devotional. This year's version is called Oh Little Town.
Each day you'll be able to read a brief story and scripture to carry on the theme throughout the weeks leading up to Christmas.
