Did you notice?  The calendar turned this week and fall is almost here.  I love the fall because it’s the unofficial ‘new year’ which means new realities and new possibilities.  New grades for the kids at school, new patterns at work, new patterns at home.  And a chance to make positive changes for all of [...]

So here’s a concept that we’d love for every parent to think about.  Starting in September, we’d love for you to pick a service time to attend regularly.   We have two services at each campus each weekend: 8:30 and 10:00.  I know we talk about the convenience of having two services at our campuses.

Your Friends…

Really enjoyed the conversation this week on the blog.  As you know, we didn’t start Connexus two years ago so that Barrie and Orillia could have another church.  We started Connexus out of the conviction that Central Ontario needed new environments that we could invite our unchurched friends into.  We believe that as more and [...]

Thanks for the comments you sent our way on what makes Connexus an easy church to invite your friends into and what make some of you start attending church.  We learned some things!  And we had some fun doing it.

No — it’s summer — not Thanksgiving…we just want to say  thank you for giving. As you likely realize, our ministry at Connexus is 100% funded through the generous support of those who attend our campuses.  We get no government money and no outside organization funds our budget.  You do.  Every week, we take up [...]

As we reflect on this past school year in student ministry at Connexus it’s been amazing to be a part of the growth, life change, action, and adventure that we’ve been able to experience.

You visit Connexus each week, you have an awesome time, and you invite your friends. Each week we plan for what we call a “predictably unpredictable” service to make that happen. What does that mean? It means that although you never quite know what surprises you’ll find around Connexus on Sundays (A few weeks ago [...]

Add to that doing it in two locations.  People who volunteer in our environments have been labeled “crazy” and we would pretty much agree!  We have some pretty incredible people who make things happen each and every week at Connexus. If you’ve [...]
