The title for our current teaching series for the month of July, “Renovation of the Heart,” is based on the title (but not content) of a book written by Dallas Willard. This series will allow us to examine spiritual formation… and by spiritual formation, we mean the stuff that converges on the inside that makes you – you.

Four different aspects of spiritual formation will be examined: the heart (or gut) as guide, character building (or eliminating pollution), prayer as dialogue (us talking) & the need for story (God talking).

Here’s the video from last night’s gathering:

Here’s the video from the worship gathering this week:

Recently we told you about our new leadership model that we have been developing at The Freeway. Well, things have been moving along quite nicely in terms of us implementing this new model. Most of the four hubs are shaping up really well. We have about 18 of the 20 needed leaders “signed up” and excited about this new adventure. Over the summer, hubs will begin meeting and discerning and shaping and planning a way forward as a hub.

Soon enough we will tell you more specifics about each hub and who the people are who will be a part of them. We also hope to continue telling the ongoing story of the exciting things that these hubs are up to and the challenges we face as our story unfolds. For now, I want to briefly introduce to the leaders of the five hubs (we will tell you more about them soon):

1. The spiritual formation hub will be led by Pernell Goodyear.
2. The neighbourhood, culture & justice hub will be led by Miranda Ciarroni.
3. The children & youth hub will be led by Jeanette Eby.
4. The coffee house hub will be led by Steve Calverley.
