Join us for a day of prayer and fasting on May6th. You can choose to participate in this day of prayer however you would like, wherever you find yourself.
As an initiative to increase our dependency on the Spirit, and seeking God to do a transformative work in and through Sardis Fellowship, we set aside the first day of the month to fast and pray. We know not everyone is able to do this in the same way, or to the same degree, so we ask you to consider how you can make this work for you.
Each month we highlight something to focus on, whether that be in the life of our church family, our local community or world. Sometimes we have specific things for you to pray through and sometimes we just give you the focus and allow God’s Spirit to guide you in your prayer time around that topic.
If we as a church family want to see the transformative power of God at work in our lives, the lives of our loved ones, and the community we live in, then we need to seek Him in prayer. I trust you’ll join us each month. Pastor Rod Heppell.
May 6th: Prayer and Fasting
In the way that works for you, join us in seeking God on our Day of Prayer and Fasting, asking God to guide and direct our vision for making disciples at Sardis Fellowship. From our new sermon series on connecting with our neighbors to our new discipleship plan for our spiritual journey, we are asking the Holy Spirit to do a work amongst us that would draw all people to know the saving grace of Jesus. Pray for boldness to reach out to our neighbors. Pray for those new to their faith in Jesus to declare it through Baptism. Pray for each person to find a place of community in one of our small groups. Pray for our Sardis Kids and Youth programming.
Come on out for a light lunch and a Q&A with our guest speaker Steve Sundby as he helps us understand how to connect with our neighbors as Jesus would have us to do.
12pm after the service in the Fireside Room!
Starting April 17th and running for 8 weeks. Women of all ages are welcome to join this new Life Group starting up being led by Ofelia Jackson.

Enjoy some coffee & tea and time for sharing & prayer. Childcare can be provided if women come who have young children. Bring your bibles!
Join us for a Prayer and Worship night on April 28th from 6-7pm in the Fireside Room.
Our Prayer and Worship night is an opportunity for us to come together to seek God collectively, to work in our midst, to transform our lives, our families, friends, neighbors, our community and world. Please set aside this hour and half to pray together asking God to bring his transformative power to the things we know only He can change.
Come out to Central Community Church in Chilliwack to celebrate those who are graduating from Freedom Session, many of whom are from our church! This is a great way to show support to those who have undergone this long journey towards freedom and wholeness in Christ.

Pastor Rod is leading a seminar on our new sermon series, “Sharing the Gospel.” Sunday nights from November 5th to the 19th, from 6pm-7pm. We hope to see you there!
Who hasn’t felt the inner tug of the heart to share the good news of Jesus with a friend, family member, co-worker or neighbor? I’m sure we all have. We know the love of Jesus for ourselves and we know he loves our friends too, but we find it hard to talk about Jesus with them. Why is that? If you’d like to talk about this come out to our three part seminar on “developing significant relationships with people far from Jesus” on Nov. 5th, 12th and 19th, from 6-7pm at Sardis Fellowship. We will talk about things like, “What counts as sharing the gospel?” What are the “guts” of the gospel? & “How to have a spiritual conversation with a friend who doesn’t yet know Jesus?” This is all a part of our vision at Sardis Fellowship to be a “loving, just, visible, & transformative presence in our local community.” Centred in Christ, visible in community, transforming our world! To the Glory of God!
Over the next 4 weeks (November 19 to December 15) let's fill up our "Giving Tree" with food supplies for people in need in our local community.

Sardis Fellowship Baptist Church | Foyer
No Cost. No Sign-up Required.
Leader: Richard Franckiewicz
Friendsgiving is Thanksgiving, but with friends! It’s fellowship around a meal, with a focus on gratitude. We will provide the meat, so make sure to bring a side dish to share. It doesn’t have to be fancy, so things like mac & cheese, stovetop stuffing, salad, potatoes or other cooked vegetables are all great and simple things - or you could even just make a bunch of sandwiches!
