St. John the Evangelist, Ottawa
154 Somerset Street W To support congregations and their leaders, a new resource, Giving our Thanks & Praise (including I Intend – an introductory discipleship program) has been developed by the Anglican Church of Canada. This is a resource for encouraging and facilitating faithful, intentional and generous responses to God’s mission in congregations. So far the reviews are very positive. The Giving our Thanks & Praise program provides “a very enjoyable and helpful experience with lots of choices.” “Our ministers and lay leaders loved the kit.” This program will be launched in the Diocese of Ottawa beginning with the deaneries of the Cathedral, Ottawa Centre and Ottawa West. The orientation day, led by Susan Graham Walker, will explore the theology of stewardship, and will provide best practices and hands-on training for parish teams to bring the Giving our Thanks & Praise program back to their congregations Register Online | | Marriage Preparation Courses The dates for the next round of Marriage Preparation Courses have been set.
