What a great win today…to be able to do our full services in a huge blizzard, and then actually have people come.  (Over 550 between the campuses, if you can believe it!).  I’m watching the e-teams, family ministry and host team do something amazing every weekend.  Sure, they’re there to set up environments and do

Sunday, December 16th: 4:47 a.m. Given that the actual weather in our region is good early this morning, Connexus is open at both campuses this morning for a full ministry experience.  The storms appears to be staying to the south of us for now.

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
