Coffee Break/Second Cup
Something new is brewing at Coffee Break… we welcome you back this year to A Second Cup! A Second Cup is a group for women of all ages and stages of life. We want to reach out to all the women of both of Victoria's Christian Reformed churches and get to know you! We're also looking forward to meeting new women who are not familiar with 'going to church'. Come and join us each Wednesday morning and see for yourself the fresh new face of A Second Cup. Coffee is ready at 9:00 each Wednesday morning and the meeting goes from 9:30-11:00 am. We, your barista's, are so excited about what's perking for this year. So come, grab a friend, your sense of humour, and get a refill to get you through the week.

For those of you with little cappuccinos, there is child care provided: Nursery (0-2 yr olds), Little Lambs (3 yr olds), and Story Hour (4-5 yr olds). We give thanks to God for the many volunteers who provide loving care in the children’s programs each week.

We invite all women – of all ages to join us for inspirational singing, devotion and sharing time as well as stimulating Bible study. It’s never too late to join in. Occasionally, we enjoy a craft morning.

Ladies Time Out
Ladies who meet together to study God's word and find ways to apply it to their lives. The Lord willing, we hope to meet on the last Tuesday of every month from 2-4pm in the church library.

Men's Life
The men of Men’s Life meet for fellowship and to study God’s Word. Unlike many bible study groups, which study books of the Bible we study a subject. In the past, we have studied Stewardship and Grace along with other subjects. Using the supplied study material we read and discuss what God wrote. This method produces excellent and insightful dialogue.

The group chooses a study guide because we want to know what God says about that subject.

We encourage new members, teenagers and older, and meet every second Saturday from 7:30 to 9 am in the Victoria Christian Reformed Church library. We begin each meeting with a time of fellowship and a light breakfast before beginning the lesson portion. Our first meeting begins Saturday, October 14, 2006. We should be completed by the end of April. Each lesson is a stand-alone subject and there is no harm in missing some Saturdays.

Because we are very much interested in building a relationship with both God and each other, Men’s Life also hosts a Golf Tournament in May and monthly summer walks for all the men of our church family.

Youth of Yesterday
We call ourselves the Youth of Yesterday - seniors that come together every second Tuesday of the month from September to May, we come together. Our meetings start at 10:00 am in the church fellowship room.

The first part of the meeting consists of a Bible Study led by Pastor John. We always enjoy him leading us. After the Bible Study we have our coffee “klets”, which is then followed by watching a video, slide show or contributions by some of our members. We were very blessed at Christmas to have the Pacific Christian School children's choir sing for us.

At noon we are served a delicious lunch of soup and buns which has been lovingly prepared by two members of the church. They do a great job and we are very grateful for their ministry to us.

We are still growing but we will always welcome new members. It is good to come together, to study God's word, learn about His love for His people, and to have fellowship with one another.

Small Groups - Community Life
Our hope and prayer as a committee is to lead and guide members of the congregation to become enfolded into a community where they feel connected and supported. We believe that church members will find themselves supported, encouraged, and challenged when they are connected to a small group of individuals. This connection can occur a number of different ways such as the many programs and committees that are offered as well as more formal Care Groups. We are attempting to promote the intention of care/prayer/share to all programs and committees that they all become places of encouragement and support.

Care Groups is one of the primary ways for connection to occur. Care groups are small groups of people who meet regularly for prayer, study, fellowship and caring within the context of a home. We have collected a comprehensive list of all ongoing Care Groups and we are attempting to link individuals who are not connected in any way to one of our Care Groups. This has been a significant portion of our time; contacting others who desire this type of connection. Additionally, we are providing support and encouragement to these Groups.

One of intentions is to become a resource for the Care Groups by collecting books, tapes, and a variety of other study aids for the groups. However, given that Care Groups are not just about study but rather connection, we are and will be providing support in a number of different ways for these groups.

We will soon be closely working with Council to draw on their abilities and resources. Council, being made up of visiting elders, will help us connect to individuals who are in need of Care Groups.

We ask for your prayers and support that our congregation may continue to find itself as a closely connected body of people.
