ET_BLOGS

The main reasons why we are starting ET_BLOGS are to explore, discover, and reflect on where God is calling us, both on a personal level and as a church. We want to create a space that gives us the freedom to discuss the things that we learn and struggle with. Sometimes these will be reflections from sermons, community activities, or even personal times of silence and solitude with God.

ET_BLOGS isn’t meant to be a place where we necessarily provide answers and theological doctrines, although you may find your theology stretched. It isn’t meant to simply update you on church activities, although you may be invited to join in. It isn’t just to make you more aware of community issues, although you may start to see God as much in the community as you do in the church. The hope of this space is that you will engage with us as we journey together in fully responding to who God is. We plan to have some regular contributors and some guest writers from time to time.

If you would also like to contribute to ET_BLOGS, please contact [email protected].

By: Chara Benson (Toronto City Mission) September 3rd, 2013 marked an important day for 12 very eager, yet nervous women. It also marked a significant time in my life as I became the teacher of these twelve. This program is called Role Model Moms where moms come to learn in order to achieve their GED...

Greetings, church. I’ve been back for four months so I apologize for this late post. I’m re-reading my last update and I’m right back there. I’m reminded again of God’s sovereignty, and how He is still teaching me about His sovereignty as I settle into my final year at Ryerson. In Benin, my team and I...

…spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed… While serving at the food bank a few weeks ago, I was greeted by a woman with “Hi, I’m dying. I can’t eat certain foods.” From her appearance, I knew something wasn’t right with her pale skin, faded eyes, thin figure,...

By: Jeremy Ng In preparation for this week’s university group discussion, I came across this term from my old seminary notes: “challenging relevance”.  I love the use of these two words together and how important and hard it is for us to be both.  We can be challenging without being relevant, or be relevant without...

By: Annie She doesn’t play the game; she’s more of a coach. What my beloved supervisor was trying to illustrate (while inadvertently offending me) is my role here on the blog.  Every post you see here, uploaded infrequently, has gone through a rigorous editing and screening process.  Initial edits are made to weed out spelling...
