Learning Ministry Groups & Events
Book Club
People who enjoy reading books meet monthly. Join us for lively conversation, refreshments and wine, or bring your own choice of beverage. Details here ».
Challenging Christianity is an adult forum for sharing genuine questions, doubts, perplexities and contrasting perspectives on contemporary issues and traditional teaching. You can drop in with any issues you like and find a receptive audience where easy pat answers just don't make the grade. Meets on the second Friday of each month from noon to 1:30 pm. Besides the historical contexts of ideas, we consider how they connect with current issues.
Thursday Group
Next meeting TBA. Most recent meeting: Friday, May 8, discussed being baptized in the Holy Spirit. What are some of the unholy spirits dominating our world today? Which qualifiers fit our sense of "spirit" -- mean, partisan, generous, team, ambiguous, bold, cold, caring? What experiences feed which? How can church share a Christ-like Spirit? Reading: John 1: 19-34, Acts 10: 44-48; I Corinthians 12 & 13; Galatians 4: 6-9, 5:13-25. Previous Meeting: Friday April 17, discussed Christian hopes for bodily resurrection. Some think we have bodies, some that we are our bodies, so that without some kind of body we are nothing. Read 1 Corinthians 15, Mark 16: 1-8; Luke 24: 13-32; Matthew 27: 62 - 28: 15; John 20: 26-31. For further information please call Dr. Peter Slater through the Parish Office: Email or 416-920-5211.
