Happy New Year 2022! After another year of Covidtime, the events of the year ahead remain shrouded in mystery \u2014 and perhaps it\u2019s just best not to make any predictions. Still, because a new year contains all sorts of possibilities, it is an opportunity to hope! So, here\u2019s hoping (and praying) for 2022!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll be ringing in the New Year with some makerspace worship<\/a> and by taking communion. We\u2019ll be meeting at Mount Carmel Bible College<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember: the aim of makerspace worship is to turn your heart and mind towards God in community, so while there will <\/em>be music, if singing causes you more angst than awe, feel free to bring supplies to draw, journal, read, or do anything else that will orient you worshipfully during our time together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edit: We ended up swapping our Borrow and Event Sundays this month! Otherwise, it\u2019s still happening at the same place and same time.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Event Sunday<\/a> this month is aiming to be both fun and useful. With the winter weather right now, there are many people in our city who are in need of warm clothes, gloves, toques, scarfs, and more. Our event this week will be focused on that need in a few different ways. In addition to gathering donations of warm clothing to pass on to local charities like Inner City Pastoral Ministries, we\u2019ll also be doing some hands-on making <\/em>together. No need for previous knowledge or expertise! If you can tie a knot<\/a>, you\u2019re good to go. (And if you know \u2014 or want to learn \u2014 how to crochet or knit, there will be chances to do that too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned for more information on this event closer to the day. This will be happening at Mount Carmel Bible College<\/a>. (We may be able to do part of this event via Zoom. If you are interested in joining online, send an email to info@ajesuscommunity.ca<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 16, 2022 @ 11am<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For this month\u2019s Borrow Sunday<\/a>, we\u2019ll be reading through 1 Thessalonians together, taking part in a very ancient church practice: the public reading of scripture. 1 Thessalonians, with its focus on learning to live at peace with one another, contains an especially powerful message for today, which we will be exploring together during the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
