This Weekend @ Connexus | November 28, 2010

Did you know that last weekend at our campuses we had at least 17 new families join us for the first time?  Just want to say thank you for continuing to invest in the lives of people who don’t regularly attend church.  Thanks for inviting them to Connexus. Thanks for introducing them to a relationship that we believe can radically change lives.

This weekend is no exception.  Our series, Like Me, all about social media and its impact on faith and relationships is generating a lot of discussion.  We roll with part two in Orillia and wrap up the series at our Barrie campus Sunday.

Just a reminder too that this weekend is the Xtreme retreat, which means that over 50 grade six-eight students and leaders will be in Muskoka.  So there’s no Xtreme on Sunday at our campuses.  Perfect timing because in the adult service we’re talking about Facebook, conflict on line and how to handle online relationships – something that’s a part of most junior high kids worlds.

Excited for Sunday!

    Hey, My husband and I just wanted to tell you how much we are enjoying sunday mornings at connexus. We have been coming for about 2 months now and are really enjoying the teachings. We were attending Harvest for the last year and just recently decided to make the move. 🙂 You guys are doing a great job leading people to the cross. It is very cool to see what God is doing in the church.
    Nick and May Borchert

    I have really enjoyed the first 2 parts of the Like Me series .
    I was happy to have my husband join me today and our youngest daughter.
    We were also very pleased to have our older son and his wife join us today. They are raising their young family and I am delighted they felt comfortable at Connexus!
