This Evoke for Everyone course is an opportunity for the people of Grassroots Church to simply listen and learn more about Canada’s First Nations people: their history, culture, spiritual identity, challenges, and triumphs through some guest speakers, films, and discussion. The main goal of this course is to foster within Grassroots Church a better understanding of and a deeper appreciation for the First Nations people in our city and region.

Our Christmas Eve and Sunday Boxing Day services are quickly approaching! These services will be a great time to worshipfully remember and celebrate the coming of Jesus and the meaning of it all.
Our Christmas Eve celebration will begin at 6:30pm and end at 7:30pm. It will be a family service, with childcare provided for children 0-36 months.
The following Sunday is Boxing Day and will also be a family service, from 11am-Noon. Childcare will once again be provided for children 0-36 months.
These services will have no break in the middle, so the nursery will be open 15 minutes before we begin for parents to drop off their children.
