Teaching Series:
Our Life
Our current teaching series is entitled: “Our Life”. We want to take four week’s to develop a sense of who we are at The Freeway, and what we are going to be about as a community this year. Here’s how each week will shake out:
Week 1: “Our Life: Unearthed” – A reflection on where we’ve been as a community. Who are we? What are the narratives that have shaped us over the years, especially the past year or so?
Week 2: “Our Life: Planted” – An exploration of our address (postal code / context / neighbourhood). Why are we here in this neighbourhood? What are we trying to do? Why does / will it matter?
Week 3: “Our Life: Cultivated” – An exploration of our intention to form our lives together as a community: spiritually, relationally, missionally. What will we commit (covenant) to together?
Week 4: “Our Life: Rooted” – A proposal of what sustainable missionality may look for us. How do we take who we’ve been and who we are and follow Jesus into the future as a community this year?

Hello Pernell and the Freeway,
I have been with Shalem Mental Health working with Mark VanderVennen for over a year now. Much of my work has been towards the development of the volunteer capacity within West Hamilton WrapAround, to address the goals we had proposed in our World Vision grant utilizing wraparound as a model to address issues of poverty for young mothers living in the core of the city. The other portion of my work is to develop wraparound capacity within faith communities to address pastoral care and outreach work.
To that end, I would love to have a discussion around how I might work alongside your Ministry to develop volunteers to utilize this way of working with people, that we know works for those who humble themselves to ask for help, in other parts of the province and Canada. Please let me know if it is possible to get together. My office number is 905-528-0353.
