2: Intentional Accompaniment

Holly Leonard

Everywhere we look there are people who "do not know Jesus or do not know him well enough;" you likely have people you love who fit this description. Come and learn practical skills to help you meet people where they are at and accompany them closer to Jesus.

3: Charisms:Jewels That Adorn The Bride of Christ

Jim Anderson

Charisms are God-given gifts for service, mission, and the building up the Kingdom of God in this world, and as such they are a sure aid to missionary discipleship. The exercise of the charisms brings glory to God, as his people are filled with the grace and joy of the Holy Spirit. Thus the charisms are like jewels that adorn the Bride of Christ, sparkling with the light of God’s life and love.

4: Accompanying Women Post Abortion

Anne-Marie Hughes

Would you know her if you saw her? An estimated 1 in 3 Canadian Women will have an abortion during her lifetime. While abortion is often considered an issue that exists outside our church walls, men and women suffer silently among us believing their shame is too much for the mercy of God or our church. How can we approach this justice issue with the grace and mercy that brings healing for mothers and fathers while remembering the child? Abortion healing is reconciling families.

This session will include testimonials from women who have accompanied women in their healing journey.

Healing is a lifelong process that is an essential aspect of the Christian life as we are all wounded and experience brokenness in our lives.
