SUMMARY:Webinar on Lifelong Discipleship with author Cameron Shaffer
DESCRIPTION:What do you see when you look around your church on a Sunday morning? An increasing number of congregations report seeing fewer youth and young adults. This local observation is backed by research from the Barna Group\, The Evangelical Fellowship of Canada\, the Fuller Youth Institute\, and other organizations—leaving parents\, pastors\, and church members wondering how best to respond. \nCameron Shaffer\, author of Keeping Kids Christian\, offers a clear path forward. As a parent and pastor\, Shaffer focuses on intergenerational\, lifelong discipleship strategies that foster deep connections to the local church\, helping young people stay involved well beyond their youth group years. \nThis 45-minute webinar will feature a presentation from Cameron followed by an interactive Q&A session. You don’t need to have read the book to benefit from the discussion\, but all attendees will receive an exclusive discount to purchase a copy! \nFacilitator:  Rick Zomer\, Faith Formation Consultant for Thrive

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
