Discover Joy with Dr. Grant and Kathy Mullen

discover joyWould you like to have more joy? Would you like your joy to be independent of circumstances? Would you like your joy to be contagious?

Through his years as a mental health physician, Grant Mullen observed the many issues that robbed joy from people. He was able to walk many to recovery, so they could discover joy, usually for the first time in their lives. Kathy Mullen is a prayer minister and she has spent years exposing and removing the root causes of joylessness.

At the Discover Joy weekend, you will uncover the joy stealers in your life. You will understand how mental, spiritual and emotional issues rob your joy, and affect how you think, feel and relate to others. You will learn the pathway to resolve those issues and experience the joy you’ve always wanted.

Good News Chapel Unexpected Expense

good-news-chapel-logoGood News Chapel, a ministry in North Central Regina, recently incurred a large unexpected expense.

They have a fifteen-passenger van that they use to pick up individuals and families who would not be otherwise able to attend church, for visits to the reserve they minister on, and for other church activities.

Unfortunately, a bearing broke and destroyed the transmission in the van. Thankfully, they were able to get it fixed quickly, but the expense of approximately $4,500 still needs to be covered. If you feel led to give towards this need, you can do so at www.goodnewschapel.ca/donate.

All donations are greatly appreciated.

Christmas Wish List

christmas wish listRead a story.
Give a gift.
Touch a life.

The Glen Elm Church of Christ is again hosting the Regina Christmas Wish List – an opportunity for  citizens of Regina to express care and compassion during the Christmas season.

The project works like this:

  • Local organizations, working with the impoverished and marginalized of our city, identify individuals and families within their circles, and create concise stories which are posted to the website.
  • Caring citizens read these stories, pledge gifts, and purchase the items they have pledged (new items only), which they then deliver to Glen Elm Church of Christ (1825 Rothwell St., Regina) by 5:00 p.m. on December 19.
  • The gifts are forwarded on to the partnering organizations, who place them in the hands of the clients they identified.
  • Everyone has a merrier Christmas!

To join in, visit Regina Christmas Wish List. All support is greatly appreciated!

Please Note: They have upgraded the website this year, and are still working on some improvements. If the website is temporarily down, please be sure to check back later.
