Changes and Transitions

By |2016-10-31T13:57:16-04:00May 29th, 2015|Alvin Lau|0 Comments

They say that nothing in life is constant except change. It is inevitable. For many, June is a time for changes, with students graduating, ministries either winding down or ramping up for the summer, school ending and so much more. (Perhaps you’re also about to have a transition in your own life.) Here are some reminders as you move through these changes and transitions: Aim to finish well. You see

As we head into the final month before the summer, many youth ministries are looking to finish their ministry season well. Here are some great ways to wrap up: Celebrate achievements: Whether through an online forum or in your final youth meeting, celebrate all the ways God has blessed these students. Perhaps have them write down specific highlights and either post them on aboard for the church to see or

Along with Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, Power to Change and Ambassadors for Christ, we facilitated a discussion about students transitioning from high school to post-secondary studies.

Greater: Springforth-Slingshot 2015 review

By |2016-10-31T13:57:16-04:00May 11th, 2015|event recap, guest post|0 Comments

We know that God is greater, but how much greater? That's a question that many people wonder about God, but in the last few days I got a new appreciation for the true greatness of God. I just got back from Springforth - an evangelistic retreat hosted by the Youth and Family department of the CABC (Convention of Atlantic Baptist Churches) in Moncton, New Brunswick. This event is held at 2 locations: the

This past weekend, a group from Mississauga Chinese Baptist Church and Kanata Baptist Church visited Six Nations. Led by Joe Elkerton, this group of six explored First Nations culture through their tour at the Woodlands Cultural Centre, with friends at Ohsweken Baptist Church and in group discussions. Here are some soundbites from three participants: I've come away from this weekend with a new respect and interest in Aboriginal culture. I

Prayer is central to our faith. When we gather to pray, we seek God’s will for a common purpose or issue. On Sunday, June 14, we ask you to join Canadian Baptist churches across Canada in praying for the upcoming generation. The Canadian Baptist Youth & Family Team (comprised of representatives from Canadian Baptist Ministries, Convention of Atlantic Baptist Churches, Canadian Baptists of Western Canada and CBOQ) are planning a National

Faith and Family (Ticats Style)

By |2015-04-15T21:22:30-04:00April 15th, 2015|Alvin Lau|0 Comments

Family time is often sacrificed for other priorities nowadays. With seemingly endless and hectic schedules (both for parents and kids), a night together is hard to come by, unless that time is intentionally set aside. We’re hoping families will set aside time for the Ticats Faith and Family night. We’re supporting the Ticats in their Faith and Family event on Saturday, August 15 for three reasons: To provide a space for families

Talking "Transitions" with CYN

Many people have reviewed the findings of the Hemorrhaging Faith report. One key area the report found where students "fell through the cracks" was during transition periods, including the shift from high school to post-secondary studies. This year, CBOQ Youth, along with Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, Power to Change and Ambassadors for Christ, is pleased to sponsor a portion of the Canadian Youth Network Youth Worker Lunch Resource Tour. Together, we're
