Senior's Connect
Come and join us for the next Senior's Connect on April 12 at 1pm! Miriam Charter will be speaking about her book, reGeneration: Stories of Resilient Faith in Communist Romania. Miriam is a former Alliance International Worker and the book tells about how God was at work in Romania in her time there and the lessons God taught her.
She also served on the staff of Ambrose for some time. Recently retired, she has a unique perspective on Ukraine having served in the Eastern bloc before the Berlin Wall fell. She keeps in regular contact with her colleagues in Romania and is sharing fantastic and tragic stories of refugees fleeing Ukraine and being cared for by the church in Romania.

30 Days of Prayer
Join Christians around the world in prayer for our Muslim neighbours April 2 – May 1, 2021. Follow together with believers around the globe using the Muslim World Prayer Guide that will inspire you as you discover and learn about the unique challenges faced by our Muslim friends. This prayer time coincides with Ramadan, which is a time of prayer and fasting for Muslims.
Prayer Guides will be available in digital copy and hard copy. Hard copies will be available in the south atrium starting the weekend of March 26/27 or you can register to receive a digital copy.
As the crisis unfolds in the Ukraine, our hearts continue to break for the people fleeing their homes and country. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled to Poland for refuge - most of which are women and children. In response to this crisis, the Alliance Canada has put in place a plan to partner with our partner churches in Poland to provide for these traumatized people. International Worker, Bill Finnemore, left for Poland on March 8 to assist in the relief efforts. To follow his journey and for ways to help and pray please see spac.ca/Ukraine.
The public weekend gathering is no longer the front door - the digital presence and online experience of church is overwhelmingly our first point of connection with the spiritually curious, and an essential method for initiating and fostering discipling relationships within our congregation. Streaming online is more than a broadcast - it's a platform with which to nuture meaningful connections with online viewers.
The hybrid church is the new normal.
To help support this new normal, we are launching an Online Ministry Enhancement campaign. For more information please see spac.ca/online
Serve With Us
