Houseboat Cruise Reschedule
We've rescheduled for Sunday, July 12, 2026!
Join us for a fun afternoon on Okanagan Lake as we enjoy a relaxing houseboat cruise together.
We'll meet at 12:15 PM at 230 Queensway to board the houseboat, then head out for a scenic cruise (ends at 2:00 PM).
It's a wonderful opportunity to connect, enjoy the beauty of the lake, and spend time together.
We hope to see you there!
Metro Houseboat Cruise
Deeper Prayer and Deeper Community. That's the clear call of God in our lives as a church. So to that end we are unabashedly planning events that will connect us in fun and meaningful ways.
So what's more fun than a Cruise down Okanagan Lake? The purpose of this event is just to have fun and develop deeper relationships during it. It starts with a bbq at 4:30pm at Metro Hub, then the Cruise launches at 6:00pm from 230 Queensway Ave downtown Kelowna, close to the City Park and the Kelowna Yacht Club.
The cost is very reasonable for all of this at only $20. We deliberately kept the cost low so that everyone could afford to come. This is for everyone, friends, family, in-laws, out-laws, everyone.
We encourage payment to be done online, just go to:
SOLD OUT
https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/metro-houseboat-cruise
So plan to join us for the BBQ beforehand at 4:30pm, then come aboard with us at 6:00pm. If you can't make the BBQ, then just meet us at the launch site. This is an event that you don't want to miss.
Arnold August
We invite you to join us as we remember our dear brother Arnold August on Saturday June 6, at 9:00 AM in the Metro Hub.
It is with immense sadness that we share that dear Arnold August (Neskonlith First Nation) passed away peacefully in the early evening of Saturday, May 23, 2026, at Kelowna General Hospital.
Arnold will always be remembered as a kindhearted, gracious, and wise man whose faith in his Creator, Jesus, was his guiding light. At Metro, he was revered as an Elder in the community. His spiritual insights were always profound and life-giving. He was a man who memorized the holy scriptures and who lived by the conviction of his beliefs.
One thing that is beautiful about Arnold is that there are a number of communities that consider him a part of them because he connected deeply with everyone he encountered.
Arnold suffered tremendously as a child in the Canadian residential school system. He would share that many traumas that he endured in adult life were a result of his childhood trauma. Yet incredibly, he refused to be defined by it. Rather, he chose to forgive. He lived an uncomplicated, simple life defined by hopefulness, joy, and love.
A memorial is being planned by his family and community, which will give us all an opportunity to share our personal stories and to honour and remember our dear Brother Arnold. Details will be released once his family has announced them.
Arnold is absolutely irreplaceable. His passing has left a huge hole in our community. But we can be comforted and assured that he is now at peace in the loving arms of his Maker.
We send our sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Ancient Streams Retreat
Here is a closer look at the schedule…
Friday 7pm-9pm
Saturday 9am-8:30pm
Sunday 9:30am-12:00pm
"The Psalms have a surprising and marvelous depth for those who know how to enter them. They are bread, miraculously provided by
Christ, to feed those who have followed Him into the wilderness." - Thomas MertonPraying the Psalms
Everything in our lives can be an occasion for prayer. In the Psalms, we find prayers offered from every conceivable circumstance and state of heart. We all have our favorite Psalms, others feel more removed from our experience. In this retreat, we will explore together how to enter the Psalms more fully in order to participate in their expanse, richness and authenticity as expressions to God. We'll also have times of silence and contemplation as we follow Him "into the wilderness."
Come join us as the Psalms become expressions of our own heart's cry and a drawing into wordless prayer where we are grounded more deeply in God's presence and love. The retreat will include times of teaching, small groups, contemplative worship, and prayer.Seton House of Prayer
