Abubakar (not his real name), his wife and their five children immigrated to Canada in September 2024. As practising Christians in Nigeria, they had found joy in attending church back home. Now, they were looking for the same in Saskatoon, where they had settled. They found it at The Salvation Army’s Saskatoon Temple church.
This Christmas we have the opportunity to reflect, celebrate and worship the God who steps down into darkness and brings light.
Through worship, I feel peace, joy, comfort and especially love. ... worship through singing is what makes me feel most connected to God.
When it comes to prayer, God will hear us no matter what we need or where we are.
“Wait! Are you Santa?”
No, but I am thrilled that I get to play him on occasion. Even more importantly, in moments like this, I also get to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
The Salvation Army's Saskatoon Temple’s Christmas hamper program has been going on for several decades.
“We’re a pretty busy ministry unit at Christmastime,” says Captain Derek Kerr, the pastor. “We help anywhere from 3,500 to 4,500 families, depending on the year. A lot of people come through.”
Let’s be the kind of church that claps. Not for the sake of noise, but for the sake of love.
