NEED TO BE REVIVED?

Battle the winter blahs. Put the joy back into January. Join with friends online and explore the series REVIVE. 

This module with seven sessions is called Communicating with God and unpacks a variety of practical approaches to prayer. This is a safe, small-group setting, where participants will gain a refreshed perspective on spiritual disciplines and deepen their faith, as well as develop friendships with other like-minded people.

REVIVE was written by a Canadian Anglican with Nova Scotia roots. The Rev’d. Canon Dr. Dawn Davis designed this truly dynamic course to be a gift to long-time parishioners. She asks, “How do we go from doing ministry for the church to being in a relationship with this life-giving empowering God? ... Revive aims to provide a supportive structure and community to help that relationship reignite and come alive!”

REVIVE runs Wednesdays starting January 13, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on the Zoom platform. 

The program is free. Registration is limited.
