Friday nights are Jr. Youth Group and it has been a lot of fun. The last event was Water Wars. It has been so hot here the last few weeks we thought why not stay cool by getting everyone wet. It was a blast! The kids brought their water guns and we provided the water [...]

The summer might be nearly finished, but I know God still has plenty in store for me. As I think back over my summer appointment in Saskatchewan’s North East Circuit, I am truly thankful for all that God has allowed me to be a part of in the communities of Melfort, Tisdale and Nipawin. My [...]

The pastor role is to take spiritual care of its flock, journeying alongside people. An employer works with oversees someone’s job performance. Often in The Salvation [...]
Praying Scripture – Micah 6:8-10
He has shown you,
O mortal, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
Living Scripture - Psalm 25:3
No one who hopes in you
will ever be put to shame.
CFOT was pleased to welcome special guests Colonels Floyd and Tracey Tidd to our In Sunday on January 22, 2012.
The focus of their message was “Hope” and cadets and officers shared stories of life situations that may have seemed hopeless but which eventually brought them to know hope.
This In Sunday was also blessed by the attendance of our Field Based Training cadets – Peck-Ee Wong and Leonard Heng, and Kim and Darryl Burry (and their family).
