Renewal Café are small-group gatherings held via Zoom which are typically centred on a specific question or theme. (See Page 6.)
Listening Ear Here is a pool of mature believers who meet online (or in person if logistics allow) with individuals who need a listening ear. It’s not therapy, counseling or mentorship but an effort to facilitate a community and encourage believers. It’s a ministry for the listener as well as the speaker. If you need to talk about where you’re at in your walk of faith, if you have questions or if you just need to “unpack” we can pair you with a listener. This ministry is for adults of all ages and stages of life.
Daily prayer calendar under the leadership of Linda Shaw continues to find its way into the hands of believers who need encouragement and support.
Pray for GA is a dedicated campaign in the four weeks leading up to General Assembly which includes online prayer rooms praying prior to and during each sederunt. We started this in 2021. We will do the same this year.
GA Prayer Room: General Assembly Office is generously providing us with a dedicated Prayer Room during this year’s GA in Halifax. It will be open to all GA attendees prior to, during and after each sederunt. It will be a place for a morning devotion, sharing, debriefing and prayer during proceedings. It will be staffed by Executive Director Andy Cornell and faithful volunteers. (This initiative will be the focus of Andy’s travel budget in 2023.)
Renewal Day and AGM: For the first time since 2019, our annual gathering was held in person on Saturday, March 25. The event was also livestreamed, which allowed active participation whether in person or online. It was graciously hosted by St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Welland, Ontario. Our speaker was Cory McKenna, founder of The Cross Current, whose mission is to normalize sharing of the Gospel. Watch for the full story in the summer edition of The Renewal News.
