Thankful for You

So I know it’s not thanksgiving, but in this space between Christmas and New Year’s, I find myself incredibly thankful for what God is doing through Connexus Church. 

So many of you invited friends and family out on Christmas Eve (this pic is from the 5:30 service in Barrie).  Thank you for [...]

In the next few weeks, we’re going to give people at Connexus a chance to give this Christmas with a one week series we’re calling "Giving Christmas Away".  We’re totally looking forward to that, in part because it will make an immediate difference (families globally and locally will be impacted), but i part because it [...]

Why We Post Our Videos Right Away

We’ve been so encouraged by the reaction to our Medium series so far. This past Sunday in Barrie, we did part two of the series.  As usual, we upload the message as soon as possible.  We realize that means that you can watch a message online days before we feature it at our Orillia campus.  [...]

Sean’s been a friend of Connexus since we launched and some of us go back a few years with Sean.  He’s a great leader with a wonderfully genuine [...]

The Early Bird Gets the…Seat

It's always nice to have a "good" problem – life brings its share of tough problems of its own.  And this summer, we've developed a good problem.  Attendance has been so strong in the adult service all summer that we're wondering if some of our 10:00 attenders would mind moving to the 8:30 service starting [...]

Your Church – Your City

I was buying salt for our water softener a couple of weeks ago in Orillia (my family lives close to Orillia). I was having a typical "customer/sales dude" conversation with the guy behind the counter.  He was in his early 20s.  It was my first time in the store. I didn't know anyone there.Suddenly he [...]

Sunday Brain Dump

It was a crazy kind of day at Connexus.  The kind of day I love.  Some highlights:
Our volunteers rocked.  What more can I say?  You folks are just the BEST.   We love our volunteers so much that we do special things just for them.  Don't miss the craziness we have planned January 23rd for the [...]

The other side of revolution

Posted on 09. Dec, 2008 by rich in Orillia | No Comments

Revolutions are messy.  By definition it's a massive upheaval in system.  When we talk about revolutions we often just focus on the “up” side of the change – those people that “won” the confrontation.  But there is always another side of the conversation that we have to understand as well. Somebody always comes out of [...]
