3 Sessions this fall

Sandy Broad, leader of Stephen Ministry at Forest Brook  will be offering a series of sessions for those who want to learn more about how to be a better "carer" of others.

How can we share God’s love with others if we don’t first show we care about them?What does it really mean to “care” for another person?  How do I show this care if I am not normally a “caring” person?  How do I care for others I don’t agree with or maybe even like?  And, how do I do this in the midst of my own busy life?

Life is not easy. We are created to be in relationship with other people, we need each other – and God has given us others to share the load with. 

In these three interactive sessions we are going to cover key topics – such as empathy, emotions, listening, boundaries as well as delve into caring for others with specific life issues such as illness, depression or loss. There will be room for conversation and questions!

Brought to you by a Group of Moms with little ones looking to provide a place of intentional connection.

Anyone with children under the age of 2 is invited to these casual drop-in sessions.  The Forest Brook nursery is filled with toys and things for little ones to explore, and has a quiet/crib room as well as full changing station. Feel free to bring along your child's favourite toy, too :) Put it in your mom-chat and bring your friends - they'd love to see you there!

Alpha is a multi-week course that creates a space where people come and discuss life’s big questions in a friendly, open and informal environment.

We're hosting a new session of Alpha beginning in September and hope to pack the house with people who are interested in exploring life, faith and meaning in community.

 You can join a session at any point, register below to let us know you're coming!

D.L. Moody said that "every great movement of God can be traced to a kneeling figure." In other words, God moves in response to prayer. We'd love to get a movement of prayer going at Forest Brook. 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!
