Ever Wonder Why?

in Barrie, Connexus, Featured Article, Orillia

Sure, there are some things we are supposed to do because we follow Jesus, like serve others and connect in community.

But you ever wonder why?  That’s what we’re tackling this weekend at Connexus.  We’re so excited to be in the Four Things series this weekend at our campuses – a great series to help you and your friends engage four things that will help you grow spiritually.

Two of them are community and serving.  And this weekend we’ll look at why these were so important to Jesus and why Jesus believes they are so important to you.   Plus we’ll look at how you can make both a part of your life this year.

Here are the details for what we think will be an incredible weekend:

Barrie Campus | 8:30 and 10:00 | Four Things – Serve

Orillia Campus | 8:30 and 10:00 | Four Things – Connect

Want to Grow Closer to God?

in Barrie, Connexus, Current Affairs, Featured Article, New Series, Vision and Purpose

It's a bit of a mystery, isn't it - how to connect with God.  We say we want to, but sometimes it just feels so elusive, so hard to do. We hope to take some of the mystery out of that in the next month as we launch the Four Things series.  It's a wonderful series to invite friends to, and important enough that you wouldn't want to miss it yourself.  You can invite a friend...
