• Sermon Details: Jesus, The King We Need (Mark 11:1-11) by Pastor Christopher Joseph (Joy Gill). You can view the sermon points and take notes using the YouVersion Bible App.
• MetKids Summer Camp: We wrapped up another amazing week of MetKids Summer Camp where children learned about the nature of God. Thank you once again to the many people who volunteered and donated to make this camp possible.
• Operation Backpack: During MetKids Summer Camp this past week, we started collecting items for Operation Backpack, an outreach initiative we do each year to bless the Banff-Ledbury community with backpacks stocked with school supplies. We are in need of these specific supplies: backpacks, lunch bags, geometry sets, calculators, and gently used running shoes. Please drop off donations in the bins in The Hub on Sundays from now until August 2.
• Flood Damage Relief: Samaritan's Purse is partnering with The Met to provide emergency clean-up assistance for families affected by the Canada Day flooding. Volunteer teams are serving Monday through Saturday. If you need assistance, would like to volunteer, or want to support this ministry, please click here for more information.
  • While Samaritan's Purse operates from our church, their trucks and trailers will be in the south parking lot on Sundays. Please park around them or use the overflow lot.
• Special Members' Meeting: The Metropolitan Bible Church Property Board has called a Special Members’ Meeting for 1:00pm on Sunday, July 26, 2026, directly after the second service. We value the congregation’s ongoing participation and prayer as we discern next steps with the 31 Auriga property. Starting at 12:15pm in the gym there will be some pizza, hot dogs, and chips available for those coming to the meeting. Check-in for the meeting will begin at 12:30pm.
• Churchwide Prayer: We hope you can join us on Sunday, July 26 in the Chapel at 6:00pm for prayer. It's a great opportunity to get to know one another, pray for the needs of our congregation, and make a big church feel small. 
• MetKids Summer Schedule: From now until August 30, MetTykes and Elementary Grades 1-3 will be available at the 9:00am service only. Programming will not be offered for children in Grades 4-6 during this time, so we encourage families to worship together during the service. The Family Room will continue to be open for those with younger children. If you have visitors this summer and they would like to have their children in our Sunday School program, please have them come to The Hub and our Check-In Team will be able to assist them. August 2 (Civic Holiday) will follow a Special Sunday schedule. 
• Missions Café: Through the summer months starting July 5, the Missions Café upstairs will be open on Sundays between and after services, from 10:00am-11:00am and from 12:15pm-1:15pm (the main floor café will be closed). Coffee and tea will continue being served, and the new summer menu includes ice cream, popsicles, and lemonade. All proceeds go towards missions.
