WILL YOU JOIN US ON NOVEMBER 8TH FOR OUR COMMUNITY SUPPER?

Community Suppers are one of the ways we seek to express God’s love and presence to our neighbours. 

Our first Community Supper of this ministry year is Saturday November 8th.  We are looking forward to building relationships and community around tables while enjoying a delicious meal.

Please let Ruth know (office@gatheringchurch.ca) if you are able to join in participating in the Supper.

Support is needed between 4:00 and 7:30. You can join for some or all of the evening.

This is an important expression of God’s love. We hope you will join in.

Bite-sized Book Club

Bite-sized Book Club

Common Word with Canadian Mennonite is offering this "bite-sized" book club on grief, fresh grief or long-held.

Anyone who signs up will get the reading sent to them (you don't have to buy the book), and it'll be short, reasonable. It's a conversation with the author, if you don't manage the reading, it will still speak to you.
