We believe that the good news that is Jesus is to be shared – in words and with actions. For us this is what mission is about. It is about telling people about Jesus and inviting them to receive Jesus as Saviour and Lord, It is about serving other people in practical ways. In short, we desire to make a difference so that people and the world are transformed with Jesus who is good news.
These are some of the ways we are engaged doing mission.
ALPHA
Alpha is a series of interactive sessions to discuss the Christian faith in an informal, fun and friendly environment. We are currently doing a YOUTH ALPHA (high school age youth) Sunday mornings concurrently with our Sunday morning worship.
BILY (Because I Love You)
BILY provides support and guidance for parents and youth going through family crisis. It is held within our church building every Monday evening (except Mondays that are holidays) beginning at 7 pm. For more information contact (xxx-xxx-xxxx) or visit the website (xxx).
COMMUNITY GARDEN
We have fifteen garden plots – three m. by three m.- and five above ground garden boxes that are used by community members.
ORMSBY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Ormsby Elementary School is one of the local schools. We provide money for school trips, snacks, and winter gear; as well, assisting with primary students with reading.
TAYLOO BEARS
Tayloo Bears are stuffed ‘teddy bears’ that are given to individuals and families that are facing challenging times, perhaps because of some loss or sickness, and need a reminder that God loves them. The Tayloo Bears project began as a memorial to a family member of one of our members that was killed in a car crash.
TEA AND HYMN SING
A time for tea, desserts and singing favourite hymns. We love to include folks from other congregations and the community. Meets the third Tuesday of each month (except July and August), from 1.30-to 3.30 pm and within the church building.
