Welcome - we're glad you are visiting our site today. We keep things simple here, like the Gospel. We want to worship the Lord, learn the Word of God, and apply what we have learned to our daily lives. Our vision is to know God and make Him known. Please consider this an invitation to come travel with us as we grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Come along and explore what He has for you.

Welcome to our midweek time in the Word of God
"...that earth's bliss may be our guide and not our chain."
Hearing Alistair Begg quote from this hymn last Sunday, I decided to look it up and include it here.
lyrics by Adelaide A. Parker - 1858 - quoted in his sermon was verse 3

1. My God, I thank thee, who hast made
The earth so bright; So full of splendor and of joy, Beauty and light; So many glorious things are here, Noble and right. A-men. 2. I thank thee, Lord, that thou hast made Joy to abound; (made So many gentle thoughts and deeds Circling us round, That in the darkest spot of earth Some love is found. |
3. I thank thee, too, that all our joy
Is touched with pain, That shadows fall on brightest hours, That thorns remain; So that earth's bliss may be our guide, And not our chain. 4. I thank thee, Lord, that here our souls, Though amply blest, Can never find, although they seek, A perfect rest, Nor ever shall, until they lean On Jesus' breast. Amen |

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR WORSHIP

We have had the privilege of being District Representatives in Canada for the past 10 years. We have been blessed to develop relationships, not only with the missionary couples, but also the church families. We have seen much growth in the churches over the years. Our greatest joy has been to see the new young missionary couples who have joined in Canada. They are passionate about preaching the Word!! PRAYER REQUESTS: We will be retiring at the end of June. Would you pray for us as we slow down our lives and as we seek to see where God would have us serve in the future. (41405 Chief Lake Rd Prince George BC V2K 5L6 (250) 961-2288) |
At this time we need to be especially sensitive when it comes to prayer. As we interact with others we can turn our observations into subjects for prayer. Sadly, our prayer request form has been removed due to increased cyber threats.

Dear Church Family and visitors to this site,
We have been keeping a close eye on the developments and spread of the COVID-19 virus. Its movement has been swift and unrelenting. Without giving into fear we want to do our part to help limit the exposure of others to this virus. We want to be considerate of those around us who may not be able to protect themselves. This we believe is the responsible thing to do for our community. With prayer and counsel, it has been decided to follow recommendations and cancel Sunday Worship together for the time being in consideration of public health. We believe that being proactive instead of reactive is the wise thing to do. In the meantime, we encourage you to pray for those suffering from this virus as well as those who are impacted – healthcare workers, doctors, nurses, researchers and public employees who have no choice but to run towards the danger. Pray for them. Pray also for those who may feel more isolated than ever.
In the meantime, we want to encourage you to visit this site every Sunday. At eight o'clock a new sermon will be posted and available for all of us to view, and to talk over during the coming week.
Also, if you have prayer requests and items of praise and thanksgiving, please email them to CFCGoldRiver@gmail.com or use the form below. If appropriate, your request might be shared with others unless you specify it is not to be shared with others. We will honour your confidentiality.
In addition, there will also be a musical offering to bless and assist us in making even this unique time of worship Christ-centered.
And finally, quoting Village Mission's Assistant Director: "As followers of Christ, we have real hope, a hope that transcends this life". 1 Peter 3:15 applies in times like this. “…you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.” (NLT) As you talk with friends and neighbors, be ready to share how Christ gives you hope for each day, and for the life to come." - Pastor Rob
