Kitchener Church Serves Up Hope Through Community Meals
Community CRC in Kitchener has had the pleasure of being involved with serving meals at their city’s Ray of Hope Centre.
New Year… New Approaches(?) -Part I
What if food banks and community fridges and a lot of our well-meaning efforts are actually making people dependent on short-term solutions, focusing only on symptoms while dismissing long-term answers and/or underlying problems? What is a church to do?
Community Connections During Christmas!
Christmas may be one of the last holidays that crosses most religious and cultural lines; there aren’t too many individuals and families who don’t celebrate it in some way, shape or form. For many, it’s a time to come together no matter who we are or what we believe. Because of this, Christmas could just be the most perfect time of year to reach out and get to know your neighbours. Here are some great ideas we’ve compiled!
Ontario Church Cooks Up Ways to Help Refugees
Over the past 7 years, the Refugee Committee of Meadowlands Fellowship CRC has helped eight (8) families move from places of desperation into a place of peace and hope for their futures. In order to support another refugee family, the committee recently held a unique fundraiser; an online Arabic cooking class!
Overcoming Spiritual Roadblocks; Devotion #11 – Eyes On Jesus
We fix our eyes upon Jesus because he is the author and the finisher of our faith. Jesus is our Redeemer, Saviour and Lord. As our attention is focused upon him, he will give us the guidance and direction we need to run the race well, and he sends the Holy Spirit to empower us to do what he calls us to do.
Helping that HELPS During Christmas (and beyond!)
We all like to be helpful, don’t we? Opening a door for the elderly man walking with a cane, making a meal for a neighbour or friend when they are sick or just overwhelmed with life, lending a hand at the school fundraiser, and the list goes on. These kinds of ‘helps’ are wonderful and meaningful and are a wonderful way to bless another person.
So as we enter into the Christmas season, many of us are looking for even more ways we can help those who are less fortunate than us. But what if I told you that some helping doesn’t really help?
