Yes, once again we Canadians, the only people in the world, will celebrate Queen Victoria’s birthday.  Therefore, The Journey Neighbourhood Centre will be closed on Monday, May 21st – God Save the Queen!

Don’t forget coming up on May 3rd, we will have a special guest speaker from the Canadian Mental Health Association!
We all know someone who struggles with mental health issues. And, most of us from time to time face challenges that affect our mental well being.
The evening will be an opportunity to understand better both our own mental health care needs and to recognize the challenges faced by family, friends, neighbours and co-workers.

We have a big Sunday Coming Up! We are continuing our series – Knowing Jesus in a New Way. This week’s message is on Second Chances, something we all have needed from time to time!

The Uprising will be leading our worship this Sunday and presenting some special music. It is always great to have them with us and I want to encourage as many people as possible to come out and hear them.

The Uprising is a youth choral group from NBUC. They have been singing together for over a year and have visited The Sunday Gathering on several occasions. One of our own, from the Ardglen community, Paden Gabriel is a member of the group.

Also, we have been donated two free tickets ($30 value) for the NBUC Spring Concert. The “Extravaganza” is Sunday, April 22 at 7pm. There will be choirs, soloists and 17 Cellists from the Oakville Symphony Orchestra. We will have a draw for the tickets on Sunday morning, so come out Sunday morning if you would like a shot at the tickets. BTW: Children under 12 are free!

As always:

10:30am – Food and Friends

11:00am – Worship and Inspiration

Now that Spring has full arrived in all her glory, we have canceled Learning Spot today.  Hopefully, they plow out our parking lot soon!

Mental Health 101

Improve YOUR mental health awareness!

Mental Health 101 provides individuals with an understanding various mental health issues, builds mental health awareness and helps reduce the stigma

associated with mental illness. Participants will learn strategies for maintaining their mental wellness and for providing compassionate support and understanding to colleagues, friends and family.

Don’t forget that this week is March Break at the two locations of The Journey, so that means regular programming is cancelled and March Break Camp is running 10am – 4pm, from Tuesday to Friday.  Sorry, we are booked solid at both locations.

Next week we are back to regular programming.
