Pastoral Care
Pastor Roberson will be on vacation from Aug. 21 to Sept. 8. If you need pastoral care during that time please contact Dawn or Earl.
Alpha For All
Every Thursday from Sept. 26 until Dec. 3. In-person guests arrive at 6:15 pm for supper and on-line Alpha starts at 7 pm.
Outreach is part of the mission of the whole church, leaders and congregation – to share the Gospel. The reality is that it can be awkward to start up conversations with friends about Jesus. Each Alpha session unpacks big questions of life, faith and purpose and is designed to spark conversation.
If you would like to invite a friend and join them in the program, please do. Guests are welcome to join in at any time during this fall program.
Please call Andrew at 647-879-5040 or send an email to andrewrm49@gmail.com.
GTA Mennonite Festival
September 19, 10-4 at Willowgrove. Admission is free. If you want to volunteer or have any questions contact Karen.
Prayer Concerns
MCEC
Please pray for the MCEC community of congregations; this week we hold Grace Mennonite Church in prayer. Darrell Winger provides pastoral care to this community in St. Catharines, Ontario. Pray for this congregation that they may grow in joy, peace and faithful discipleship, so that God’s healing and hope flow through them to the world.
Mennonite World Conference
We pray for Mennonite World Conference congregations around the world.
We remember the people of Nepal who are mourning the many lives lost in the floodwaters.
