Last Sunday LT announced Wayne will continue to serve as the Transition Pastor for SunRidge! Wayne's contract was set to expire at the end of August and he has graciously agreed to extend it a further six months. The news was announced and met with lots of applause and cheering. This has been a wild season for our church family and we're so grateful for how God has provided for us. Please, please continue to pray God would bring to us a permanent Lead Pastor who loves the Lord with all their heart and is passionate to love our city in a way that shows them Jesus!

Honouring the past and looking to the future...
Last Sunday we took some time as a church to honour Mike and Teresa for all the hard work and service they’ve done. 26+ years ago, God put it on their hearts to come do a work here in West Kelowna and as faithful servants they obeyed and Sunridge was born! Praise God for willing hearts and thank you Mike and Teresa for your faithfulness! The service was an awesome one where we took the time to celebrate God’s handiwork through them with prayer, worship, the giving of memorable gifts, sitting under Mike’s teaching one last time, and then a party afterwards. If you missed it, check it out on our YouTube channel. We also took the time to honour and celebrate the handing off of the “baton” to our new transitional pastor Wayne.
While it was a mix of sadness, laughing, wondering and joy all at the same time, we know that we follow a God who meets us in all those things and we look forward to where He leads us in the days/weeks/months/years to come! It’s fitting that as we start this next leg of the journey, Wayne will be pointing us to keep our “Eyes Fixed on Jesus” - New series starting Sunday.
Thank you again Mike and Teresa - may God give you a well deserved season of rest. Enjoy the journey going forward and where He leads. Much love.
