IN FORMATION
Session 2: Jan. 19 6-8:30pm
We are meant to move together.
In Formation is a series of 3 sessions designed to create space for talking about how and why we gather, what we're learning, and where we're being called as a church.
Similar to Session 1, we'll be sharing a meal, having meaningful discussion with one another, and looking ahead to where God's calling His church at Forest Brook. If you missed the first session, you are absolutely welcome at the second! (To catch up on where we started, check out this page)
ALPHA
New Session: January 15
Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation.
At each 2 hour session, we will connect over food and watch a 30-minute video.
The time of connection is followed by a talk on a subject central to the Christian faith. Each session we will explore the big issues of life and faith and unpack the basics of Christian belief, addressing questions like “Who is Jesus?”, “Why and how do I pray?” and “How does God guide us?”
Check out Alpha Canada for more.
Panel Discussion: Anxiety
Feb. 6 at 7pm
The Mental Health Iniatiative Team is holding a panel discussion featuring professionals and people with lived experience to talk about Anxiety and how it impacts our lives.
This is part of an effort to be better educated and aware of mental health within our church community.
More details to follow in the New Year.

We invite you to join us Wednesday evenings in the prayer chapel, anytime between 6:30 - 8:30 pm each week, for prayer. Kingdom come!
