Mary: an ordinary life devoted to God’s extraordinary story

Mary stands out in the Christmas story. Her faith is inspiring to us. But what is even more impressive is how devoted she was to God’s purpose and plans. She was willing to humbly and quietly play her part in God’s mission to redeem the world. This Christmas we will focus on how God works through ordinary people like Mary, and like us, to accomplish his extraordinary story.

While we invite others to church services and groups, this also means embodying Christ’s love in our neighbourhoods, workplaces, and social circles.

Cultivating deeper connections in the church (Phil Sproul)

Christian community is built on more than shared interests; it’s about sharing life in Christ. Let’s explore the early church’s example of living in deep, purposeful community. Through worship, breaking bread, and sharing resources, they cultivated connections that went well beyond the surface. We’ll explore how we can foster deeper connections in our church community, practicing forgiveness, encouragement, and accountability as we grow together in Christ. Discussion guide: Read and reflect on Acts 2:42-47, Ephesians 4:32, Colossians 3:13, Hebrews 10:24-25…
