If you’ve ever felt tired of a faith that demands perfection, certainty, or having all the answers, you are so not alone. Come join us for an 8 week journey through the Gospel of Mark.
Together, we’ll step away from the pressure of rigid religious rules and discover how to read the Bible not as a weapon or a strict instruction manual, but as a living, breathing companion for the journey. We’ll look at a Jesus who gets overwhelmed, breaks religious taboos to heal the hurting, challenges corrupt power, and sits right in the middle of our storms with us.
There’s room for all of your doubts, your fatigue, and your curiosity here.

Annual End-of Summer (Labour Day) Potluck Picnic.
As September arrives, we will gather together to reconnect and celebrate the ending of summer and the start of a new season filled with both familiar and novel experiences.
We’ll meet in the back gardens at 22 Willow at 11AM for worship and communion, followed by a relaxed time of potluck, conversation, and space for kids to run and play.
We’ll have water and a sweet treat on hand.
What to Bring:
- A potluck dish to share (nut-free, please)
- Lawn chairs and/or blanket
- Outdoor games
- Your own water bottle
If you find yourself able to join us at the last minute or aren’t able to contribute a dish to share at this time, please do join us! There will be plenty of food to enjoy together.

We are excited to invite you to our annual fundraising event on October 3rd, 2025! This year, we’ve made a significant change by organizing our own event, Journey for Justice, instead of participating in Ride for Refuge. To sign up as a rider, walker or to volunteer, follow the link above!
REGISTER AS A PARTICIPANT/LEADER/VOLUNTEER
Upfront, let’s explain the platforms we’re using.
To register for the event as a participant, walker or volunteer, head over to Church Center and sign up there. Families can sign up together under one simple registration (so much easier!).
To donate to Elevation or one of the people/teams participating, head over to our 2026 Zeffy Fundraising page or use the embedding section below. There is no need to create an account, just click on Donate, and then select who you want to donate to, and go from there!
If you do want to raise your own funds, click on the Fundraise button to set up your own page with your target amount, profile photo and team name. You can either create a Solo Campaign for you or your famly (your family/team should use the first name section for your team name), or you can Create a Team or Join a Team. Teams allow multiple people in one family/friend-group to join in and potentially create some healthy rivaly amongst siblings/colleagues/friends/Neighbours Groups. All solo campagins and team campaigns still falls under the Elevation Journey for Justice event!

MORE INFORMATION
The event will still be hosted at 22 Willow, as it has for the past few years. The timing of the event remains on par with how it has been recently, too:

- 09:30AM – Walk/Run/Rides Start
- 11:00AM – Snacks and Mingle
- 12:00PM – Dismissal
Here’s a list of who we are raising funds for this year:
ROUTES
We have tweaked and tested all the routes, and have them here for you to check out! A great idea for tracking and getting turn-by-turn directions would be to use the Komoot app. It’s free and gives the best turn by turn direction. For the riders, especially, we recommend this app (if you don’t already use it)!
We look forward to you joining us for this fun family day, and encourage you to fundraise as much as possible for our amazing causes!
