Exciting things are happening at the Orangeville Christian Reformed Church on B line Line.

New building projects, a new nursery area on the main floor, and disabled accessible elevator, have been installed in the last year. New items for the sanctuary - tile, carpeting, power point and new lighting.

Yes, things are happening here in a material sense. But things are happening in our programs as well. Everyone in the community is welcome to take part in our ownership services that take place on Sunday at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday school for the children is provided during the morning service and a fellowship time with coffee is provided after the service.

During the evening service, there is teaching on the doctrines of the Christian faith often using the Heidelberg Catechism, Belgiv Confession or the Canons of Dort. These confessions make the Bible and our Christian walk more understandable in line with the Scriptures. It acts like a road map to life and living in the light of God's word.

During the week there is an interdenominational Coffee Break Bible study on Wednesday from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Yes, there is Story Hour for the little ones while you have adult conversation and fellowship. This program started Sept. 20.
