So what can you expect at Connexus this weekend?  Lots.  Here are the highlights. Orillia moves into week two of full operations with part two of A Very Dysfunctional Christmas with a look how to best invest your Christmas spending.  Jackie Wright leads worship at the Orillia campus. Barrie hosts part three of a Very […]

–>A new reoccurring feature on our blog this week!  We want to take time out to honour the people that make Connexus what it is – our volunteer team!  There are hundreds of people who are serving on dozens of teams.  We are thankful for everyone.  We wanted to take some time to highlight various

Our community group had it’s Christmas party last night, and I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard in months.  I’m not sure anyone in our small group has laughed that hard in a long time.  It was so much fun, so good, so awesome, for Toni and I to get together with seven others we

Now, for the answer to the question that so many of you have been asking….what’s happening Christmas Eve at Connexus? Answer:  We’re hosting Christmas at the Waterfront.  Connexus has rented Heritage Park in downtown Barrie and is hosting a 6:30 p.m. everyone’s-invited outdoor Christmas Eve service on December 24th.  This is an all-campus event, and

Wow!  Two campuses launched in two weeks — Orillia earlier today and Barrie last weekend.  And all of it was done in exactly two months to the day from when we learned that Connexus would be born in a movie theatre in two cities.  Hard to believe so much happened between October 9th and December

So we launch the Orillia campus of Connexus this weekend and move into week two of being fully open at our Barrie campus.  If you’re like me, you’re just excited, and hopeful, and a bit overwhelmed.  Here’s what I am loving as we head into our first full weekend of being wide open at each

So….we’re getting into a pretty exciting time.  Both campuses will be wide open this weekend to the public, and who knows, we might even be blizzard-free.  How amazing would that be? So many people have helped with the launch of Connexus in both sites.  To try to convey our gratitude is a little challenging —

Two snow days in a row.  How fascinating, even if you’re not 8 years old and have to go to work (like me).  It’s still fun. So what will you do on your snow day?  I guess you could explore the still-new Connexus web-site.  As soon as you get there, you’ll notice the message from

Gotta love all the snow and ice!  It’s a little crazy that we convince each other to live in this climate!  I’m pretty sure there wasn’t any snow in the Garden of Eden – I think living in this climate must be direct disobedience against God!  :o) Over the last couple weekends I’ve see literally
