SUMMARY:Finding Hope in Hospitality: A Faith-Based Conversation on Welcoming the Stranger
DESCRIPTION:This virtual event is designed not only to inform\, but to connect us in a deeper\, more grace-filled way. It is an opportunity to hear timely updates\, explore our shared biblical call to welcome the stranger\, and—perhaps most importantly—talk with one another in a spirit of respectful curiosity and faith. Through facilitated small group discussions\, we hope to foster understanding and inspire fresh imagination for what a faithful\, hope-filled response can look like in our communities.

SUMMARY:Upcoming Webinar: Good News for Whom? The Gospel and Canada's Refugee System
DESCRIPTION:Guest Speaker: Dena Nicolai \nIf the gospel is meant to be good news\, then what does that good news mean for the complex questions of refugee policy? This webinar will explore the current landscape of that policy in Canada and engage participants in discussion of how followers of Jesus can be voices of hope and truth in that landscape. A special focus will be on identifying practical steps that deacons and ministry leaders can do to bring light to this increasingly controversial subject. \nWe’re excited to have Dena Nicolai lead this online webinar. Dena is a Program Associate with World Renew’s Refugee Sponsorship and Resettlement Program. She previously served as Chaplain and Refugee Support Mobilizer with the Christian Reformed Churches of BC\, offering a ministry of presence for people new to Canada who arrived as refugees\, and working to build bridges between those newcomers and churches. She lives in Vancouver. \nRegister for your preferred time zone now! Questions? Email Rachel (rvroege@crcna.org) or Mark (mvanderwees@crcna.org).

SUMMARY:Step In/Step Out: a one day conference to equip and energize you with a plan for how your church can step into the CRCNA church planting initiative
DESCRIPTION:Your church is being asked to send 4-6 members for a day of Spirit-led discernment on Saturday\, November 7. \nKeynote speaker\, Victor Ko\, will share his story of what it looks like to spend a life faithfully raising up leaders and workers who have a passion for the biblical call to mission and who recognize that a discipled life of faith is a life of service. \nGuided workshops and working time will help your team dig deeper into where God is leading your church. \nPrayerfully consider who from your church should be sent and tasked with bringing back to your church a possible first step of God’s call on your congregation to prayer\, to discipleship and to sending. \nRegistration information coming soon. \nFacilitator: Resonate Global Mission and Diaconal Ministries Canada

DESCRIPTION:Join Thrive\, World Renew\, and the Christian Reformed Centre for Public Dialogue for a bi-national four-part justice education series exploring immigration and refugee justice\, food justice\, climate justice\, and gender justice. \nThis webinar series moves participants beyond polarizing headlines by exploring the systemic roots of injustice through the lenses of Scripture and lived experience. Each session focuses on a specific justice issue\, connecting it to the broader biblical call to love our neighbors while offering practical tools for theological reflection and hopeful imagination. Attendees will be equipped to challenge harmful narratives\, understand the root causes of systemic problems\, and take meaningful\, faith-informed collective action.
