Deanery Programs

During Lent, the Parkdale Ministry Development Council presents a series of Wednesday evening study groups based on the diocesan series Mission Possible. The series will be led primarily by lay people, who have been learning to understand how to focus on God's mission to our particular part of the city.

A Vision for the Ministry of God's People in 2010

Who are our neighbours?

How do we reach out in our neighbourhoods?

What does it mean to be a Christian in a post Christian society?

How do we learn to affirm the hand of God in a wider world?

How do we become the future we want to be?

Join us for any or all of five Wednesdays in Lent: 7:15-9:00 pm
