When We Give Thanks We Become More Thankful

Gratitude has a way of steadying our hearts. When we realize God invites us into thankfulness not because He needs it, but because we do, it becomes a quiet gift that reshapes our days from the inside out.

Berry Dairy Days: Burlington’s Sweetest Summer Kickoff

Berry Dairy Days is back for its 89th year, and Mary Jo from the Burlington Chamber of Commerce is joining Lynette to give us the scoop! If you're wondering, Berry Dairy Days is basically summer wrapped in strawberries, hot air balloons, and small‑town charm. Families can wander from glowing balloons and DJ-fueled fun on Friday night to the parade, car show, and salmon barbecue all weekend long — with plenty of chances to snag that iconic strawberry shortcake. Whether you’re running the 5K, chasing kids between events, or just there for the photos and treats, Burlington’s sweetest tradition has something for everyone!

When God Sends a Bus: The Story Behind the Jesus Bus and a Bold Street Ministry

Sometimes God plants a vision long before we understand its purpose, and that’s exactly how Micah and Tammie’s “Jesus Bus” journey began — with simple acts of love, prayer, and showing up for people in need. What started as handing out food from their cars grew into a bold, Spirit‑led ministry on wheels, shaped by real‑life spiritual battles, deep compassion, and a desire to bring hope wherever God sends them. Their bus, covered in scripture and powered by prayer, now rolls out carrying truth, encouragement, and the love of Jesus into the streets.

Summer Worship Nights in Jubilee Park

Lynette sits down with Jason and Kasie Frans to talk about something pretty special coming this Saturday! Warm summer evenings are about to get a whole lot sweeter as Worship in the Park returns to Jubilee Park, inviting the whole community to kick back on blankets, unfold lawn chairs, and lift their voices under the open sky. There’s something special about gathering with neighbors, kids playing in the playground, Banter’s Ice Cream in hand, while worship music drifts across Abbotsford. Dates are set for June 20, July 25, and August 29 at 6 p.m. These evenings are hosted by the 5,000 Ministries and promise connection, encouragement, and a welcoming space for anyone who wanders by.
