Mission Trip Information Meeting

(Meeting Date UPDATED)

Fallingbrook Heights Baptist Church at the Centre is thrilled to announce a super-exciting mission trip opportunity for 2024! It’s going to be an epic journey to La Paz, located on the beautiful Sea of Cortez, and we want YOU to be a part of it!

You are invited to attend an information session to tell you all about this Mission trip.
When: Friday, April 19 at 7 pm
Where: At the Wiebe residence
Please RSVP (below)

We will be visiting one of our mission partners in Mexico – Feeding Los Cabos Kids – that reaches children in some of the poorest areas around Los Cabos.  We will be working together to share God’s love, not only by bringing food, clothing and other donations, but just by spending interacting with the kids.

We have also partnered with a local church in La Paz to provide additional opportunities for spiritual and practical experiences with outreaches to the poor around the city.

Come and join us on April 19th and learn more about this mission, what we will be doing and how you can be part of the mission team.

Blessings,

Patricia Griffin
Missions Chair

We are excited to kick off Iron to Iron Mentorship initiative with a Mentoring Workshop!

A mentoring relationship is an intentional relationship between two people: a mentor (ie: an older or more experienced person), and a mentee (ie: a younger or less experienced person). The purpose of Christian mentorship is to leverage the experience and spiritual maturity of the mentor for the spiritual growth of the mentee.

To kick off this endeavor, we are holding a Mentoring Workshop Saturday January 6th, 12 noon to 3 pm with Christian walk, Church & Life mentors Mel & Susan Finlay.

Location: The Reach – 1666 Kingston Rd, Toronto

Lunch will be served from noon to 1 pm; the workshop will begin at 1 pm.

You have what it takes to be a Mentor or a Mentee.

If you are interested in learning more about mentorship, being a mentor or having a mentor, OR to sign up for the Mentoring Workshop, please contact me for more information. You do not have to commit to Iron to Iron Mentorship in order to attend this great workshop.

Blessings,
