FILM SCREENING | TRANSCEND

Sunday, November 2 | 7:00 p.m. | GMBC

Long-distance running allowed Wesley Korir to

escape the grinding poverty of Kenya. But after

winning multiple American marathons, including

taking running’s most cherished prize – the Boston

Marathon, he risks it all and returns home to help his

fellow Kenyans create better lives for themselves. In

what proves to be the most challenging race of his

career, Wesley takes on a well-financed, big-party

candidate to run for a seat in Kenyan parliament,

attempting to balance the frenzy of campaigning

with the demands of marathon training. Transcend

is the story of the elusive spiritual energy that is

somehow forged in the intense rigor of long-

distance running.

Central America where Glen spent many years in

administration. Over their 44 years of service, they also

served in the Wycliffe Canada Calgary office, in Europe

with the West Mediterranean Group (living in Spain) and

YOUTH (GRADES 6-12) | SUNDAY MORNINGS

Sunday mornings has undergone a structural adjustment in JR and SR

High ministries. We’ve created a Sunday morning schedule that we

believe best serves the needs of our community. We are taking

advantage of the teaching in the main service, and allowing for youth

worship and discussion. This new schedule provides youth with

dedicated youth time, and integration into the greater church

congregation. Since both youth and parents will learn the same thing at

the same time, it’s our hope that this will lead to helpful family

discussions.

Youth Worship & Connection… 9:00 a.m. / Room 144

Message in the main service… 9:30 a.m. / Auditorium

Breakfast Club - games snacks, etc… 10:00 a.m. / Room 144

weight of leadership will be lifted from them, but we know

their heart to volunteer and serve God and others will

continue. We wish them the very best in this time of

transition.

Julianna Enns (with the team she is assembling) will

for listening to God’s promptings and prayerfully entering
