Are you hoping for a white Christmas? Maybe a green Christmas? Do you think you'll get what you're hoping for? Often in life, things don't turn out the way we want. They end up feeling duller, dirtier, and disappointing us. Starting this weekend in Barrie and next week in Orillia, we'll look at why we end up in that place, and why God refuses to leave us there.
The series will culminate on Christmas Eve, which is a fantastic opportunity to invite your friends to our Barrie Campus or our Orillia Campus. Each year, we put tons of planning and focus into our Christmas Eve services, all with the goal of making it an amazing experience for you to invite your friends to. There will be singing, some fun moments, and some really touching stories. To make sure you have a seat, take 2 minutes and reserve your free tickets for one of our services. We hope to see you there!
Barrie Campus | White Christmas | Part One: The Secret to an Inspiring Life
We all have the best of intentions. We want to get to know God, but somehow the relationship feels like it’s stained, like the promise of what it could have been will never be realized. If you’ve felt that, you have a lot in common with people who lived before the first Christmas. We’ll look at how and why our relationship got stained, and why Christmas is such a powerful response to an age old problem.

Orillia Campus | When God | Part Three – When God Is Late
Why didn't God do something? Sometimes, despite our most fervent prayers, God doesn't show up the way we want him to. The cancer isn't cured. The company fails. The foreclosure goes through. In this message, Andy tells us what to look for when it feels like God forgot to show up.
