Throughout the year, we have a variety of faith development opportunities for adults. Please see below for what we have coming up.
ALPHA
What is ALPHA?
We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to ask the big questions of life. Each session of Alpha includes a time of fellowship, a video, and small group discussion about topics such as "Who is Jesus?", "Why and How Do I Pray?" and "What About Evil?"
The program also includes one Friday evening–Saturday session that happens about halfway through the course.
The Alpha Series is open to anyone!
You can register here.

BOOK STUDY – Northern Lights
Join Rev. Jason for a study of his book "Northern Lights: Resurrecting the Church in Northern England."
About the book:
You may have heard that churches in Europe are vanishing. Yet church growth in London has been steady for decades, fueled by such innovations as Alpha and Fresh Expressions... This is not only a story about England. It is about growing churches wherever you’ve heard they “can’t” grow. God is always up to something precisely where (we think) God shouldn’t be.
Discounted copies are available to purchase for $13.00 through the Finance Office (jaclyndidiano@temc.ca). Alternatively, you can buy it wherever you order your books!

HOLY YOGA
The Tuesday class will consist of 30 minutes of gentle yoga, appropriate for seniors, but participants will need to be able to sit on the floor or on their hands and knees. The Wednesday class will be 50 minutes, suitable for all levels. All participants are asked to bring their own mats and any props they need, but there are a small number of mats, blocks and straps available for those who are unable to bring their own.
Classes will begin with breathing exercises and Christian meditation, will move through a flow section, and then move into a time of deeper stretching, ending with relaxation and meditation. A great midweek class to open up those tight shoulders and hips!

HEARING GOD SEMINAR
Have you ever wondered if God still speaks to people today, or if He has anything to say to you? Have you wondered how to tell the difference between God’s voice and your own thoughts? If so, then the Hearing God Course may be for you!
We will explore these questions and more, to help you experience and connect with God at an even deeper level.
This course consists of daily devotional exercises and weekly teaching and discussion time.
Look out for a new session soon!
