There are about 10 different groups that meet regularly throughout the year. Some of these groups have been around for 10-30 years others have started within the past year. If you’d like to join a group or help to form a new group, let pastor Steve know at steve@livinghopecrc.ca.

A couple of times per year we will provide an opportunity for a new group to form over the span of 6-12 sessions covering an important subject. This provides a place for those who are not able to commit to a small group to learn together. It also gives an opportunity to dig deeper on some challenging subjects. Examples of this in the past year have been: 

Sanctuary Course – 8 sessions learning about mental health and how to start the conversation of supporting those with mental health challenges at church. 

Faith, Grieve, and COVID-19 – 4 sessions geared towards looking at a Christian perspective on grief. We looked at how we process our own grief and how to support others in the midst of loss. 

Challenging Conversations Listening Circles – 5 sessions geared towards learning about the CRC’s report on Human Sexuality and how to listen to each other well in the midst of challenging subject.   

Future learning opportunities may include: 

Sanctuary Course Revisited – (8 sessions) Sanctuary Ministries have updated their course. We hope to offer this again. 

When Helping Hurts – (6 sessions) Join us in working through the question: How do we love our neighbours both locally and globally?  

In the Spring of each year we hope to provide 4 Sunday evenings where everybody is invited to learning together! This is an intergenerational evening that would be geared for anyone in the church. While not geared for any specific small group – it is a chance to get to know people in other small groups!
