The Journey – Feb 22
In Canada, as in much of the Western world, we live in a secular and pluralistic society. Christians often differ on how best to navigate and respond to this context. The next Journey workshop is on Sunday, February 22. Led by Ed Noot, this session will examine several approaches Christians have taken and consider how Jeremiah 29 might guide us toward a posture of faithful presence. Ed Noot is a career long educator who retired in 2023, as the Executive Director of the Society of Christian Schools in BC. This workshop is part of our monthly discipleship series held at New Life Church the last Sunday of the month at 6:30 – 8:30 pm in Room 303.
Upcoming Journey Sessions:
- March 22
- April 26
- May 24
