Identification Statement of the Wyoming Christian Reformed Church
We are the Wyoming Christian Reformed Church. Standing on the infallible Word of God, in the tradition of the
Reformed faith as it’s expressed in the Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession and Canons of Dort, we boldly
proclaim and celebrate the coming of God’s kingdom in Jesus Christ. By the strength of His Spirit we gather and
enfold newcomers into His covenant of grace. We teach and equip believers and their baptized children for obedient, loving service in all areas of life to the praise of our heavenly Father.
Regarding Worship: Amidst the wide range of worship practices in our culture today, we maintain that worship
is a meeting between God and His people in which God is praised and His people are blessed. Worship must
center around the preaching of the word – the primary means of grace. We deem it a blessing to assemble twice
on the Lord’s Day to praise His name. Worship is our highest calling and joy.
Regarding Moral and Ethical Living: the Bible is our guide for life. It addresses the sanctity of life (Ex 20:13),
the roles of men and women in the church and home (1 Tim 2:11-15; Eph 5:22-23), the proper attitude toward
material possessions (1 Tim 6:3-10).
In short, the Bible addresses every aspect of our lives. In our world ravaged by moral relativism, we affirm that
all the principles for Christian living revealed in the Bible and summarized in the Ten Commandments, remain
normative for our lives today. The church’s task is to proclaim these principles and to call sinners to repentance
and faith in Jesus Christ. With love and compassion we practice church discipline and encourage penitent believers in their continual battle against the kingdom of darkness.
To strengthen our identity in Christ, we seek contact and fellowship with churches of like mind.

Welcome to our worship services in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. If you come
as a visitor today, we hope you will leave as a friend. Whether you are a newcomer to the
community or to our church, we are honoured to have you here. May we all be
strengthened and encouraged by the proclamation of the gospel. After the morning service,
everyone is invited for coffee and juice in the Fellowship Hall, located downstairs.

Sunday School: Children aged 3-8 are invited to go downstairs for Sunday
School after the children’s message and a short prayer of blessing. There is also
a class for those with special needs. Parents, please feel free to follow the
teachers out and ask them any questions you may have. As we obediently
“train children in the way they should go,” may it be our prayer that “they will
not turn from it when they are older” (Proverbs 22:6).

CHURCH ANNOUNCEMENTS
Note from Council: Council delayed changing the time of the 2nd service from 6:30 pm to
3:00 pm until Oct. 18, because Oct. 4 is the Right to Life Chain 2:30 - 3:30 pm. The 2nd
service of Oct. 11 has been cancelled because it is the Thanksgiving Day weekend with a
10:00 am service on Monday.
The sacrament of the Lord’s Supper has been moved from Oct. 11 to Oct 18 because on
Oct 11 Rev Hoogland is scheduled by Classis to lead services at Living Hope, Sarnia.

REQUESTED ANNOUNCEMENTS
Sea to Sea event Update: Please excuse this very late update on the Sea to Sea events that
took place this past summer. First of all, a huge thank you for the prayers and donations
given! My brother and I raised a total of $8,164.20, more than exceeding our goal of
$4,000! Such incredible generosity! As a whole, the Sea to Sea events this summer raised
$259,212 to go directly to poverty alleviation organizations. Along with the money and
awareness raised, the North American church community has been strengthened as our
group fundraised and biked through three gorgeous National Parks. Stay tuned! The Sea to
Sea community hopes to continue with yearly events!
Thanks again! Christeena and Jonathan Nienhuis
Promise Keepers Canada National Men’s Conference: Is coming to Toronto on
November 13-14, 2015. The Theme this year is “Greater”.
Every man wants to know his life counts for something. He wants to know that there is a
greater purpose and plan than the everyday routines and trials he experiences. The world
teaches that a greater life is experienced through what you own, achieve, and experience.
God teaches that greatness begins and ends with Him, and that by His grace, He invites and
empowers us to a “Greater” life. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made
perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 If you are interested in attending please contact
John Krale.
Right to Life Silent Protest (Life Chain) – Sunday, October 4 from 2:30 to 3:30. Join

information call Elizabeth at 519-466-0972.

instructions with the order. Please help support the school by participating in this worthwhile fundraiser. If you would like more information please contact a committee member.
