Groundwork: God Creates - The theme of creation echoes throughout the Bible. Join our Groundwork conversation as we study Genesis 1, Revelation 21:22-24, Psalm 139:13-14, Hebrews 1:1-3, and Colossians 1:15-17 to discuss what this theme reveals to us about God’s character, love, and intentions. Then we’ll consider our call to reflect God’s creativity with our own as bearers of his image. Listen now at GroundworkOnline.com and subscribe to Groundwork's weekly emails for future episodes.

Diaconal Ministries Canada
Small Church - BIG Impact - Are you a small church? Have you been without a pastor for some time? Yet, has being small and/or pastor-less not slowed you down? Are your members still faithfully serving in your city or region? THEN WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT! This fall, Diaconal Ministries Canada will be sharing stories from small CRC congregations (under 100 people) to empower and encourage others that just because you're small, God can and will use you! Bigger isn't always better. Reach out to our Communications Coordinator, Erin, with your story leads at [email protected].

As a member of the Integral Alliance, World Renew is working to draw attention to neglected crises. Your gift can help World Renew continue to work to share Christ’s hope with communities forgotten by the media. To learn more, visit: worldrenew.ca/globalfoodcrisis
