Would You Like to Host a Meeting?

We’re always looking for churches who are willing to host us and provide a lunch. If you are able to host a meeting of our Association in the first half of 2009, please let us know. A portion of the $8 fee goes toward paying the costs of the food.

Pastoring Pastors

Our association executive believes that there is a need to provide pastoral care among our pastors. To assist us in that process have asked Todd Riley (Islington Baptist) and Stephen Hamburger (Scarborough Baptist) to come alongside us and help us do that. Basically Todd will be connecting with the eastern pastors of our assocaition while Steve will be connecting with our the western section of our association.

As time continues you will be hearing from either one of them. If you would like to contact them, Todd can be reached at 416-236-8801. Stephen can be reached at 416-698-1973.

City-Focused Strategy

This short article by Tim Keller on the importance of city-focused strategy is definitely worth reading:

As the city goes, so the arts, scholarship, communication, philosophy, commerce, etc. goes. From the beginning, cities have been centers of cultural power…Reach the city to reach the world. In general, missions should concentrate more on cities than anywhere else.

2009 Events

We are planning another prayer rally in May 2009. We also have a training day on revitalizing existing churches on the books for September/October 2009. Stay tuned.

Blessed Christmas

Have a blessed Christmas. Let’s continue to pray for each other and for our city as we move toward the start of a new year.
