Advent, Week 1: Hope.
As we enter into the season of Advent we light the candle of Hope. What does hope look like in a world that seems to be unravelling around us? Is it just a feeling or is there something more practical to it? Join us as we examine how to have defiant hope in a chaotic world.
Bodies Matter.
This Sunday we are excited to have Heather Morgan join our gathering to teach on the theme of Disability Justice and the Church, and invite us into a conversation to grow in our understanding and practices as a community. Heather shares her time between co-pastoring at Vox Community Church in Barrie and working on her PhD at Emmanuel College at the University of Toronto, where she draws from her lifelong experience of disabilities and neurodivergence to think about the intersections between bodies and systematic theology. Together, we’ll be considering the ways we read scriptures that deal with disability, and exploring how what we believe about who Jesus is might help us respond better to our own bodies – disabled and able-bodied alike.
Youth Takeover Sunday!
This Sunday, our Youth will be taking over our teaching time! The service will centre around the beautiful book I Am God’s Dream by Matthew Paul Turner. Through this children’s story, we’ll explore what it means to see ourselves through God’s eyes—to understand the unique purpose, vision, and calling that He has placed on each of our lives. We hope you can join us!

In many parts of the world, food security and livelihoods are affected by the impact of climate change. MCC and its partners are responding in communities with programming focused on promoting climate change adaptation and resilience, to grow more food through sustainable agriculture, promote alternative livelihoods and foster resilience.
We will explore one project in Zimbabwe focused on food security and climate-adaptation. We will watch a 15-minute documentary “Women will renew” about this community in Zimbabwe, and discuss and what we can do in response.
