Your church is making a difference in loving our neighbours and living out our calling across all parts of society – let's celebrate that and encourage more of it!
Join EFC affiliates across Canada in November to celebrate our shared mission. We call it: Together for Canada: An EFC Sunday for Prayer and Partnership in the Gospel.
How you observe this event is up to you. The brief guidelines we send to those who sign up will help you set aside a few minutes on a Sunday of your choice to show this year's video, or do a lot more or a lot less.
Overall this is an invitation to help individuals across your congregation to deepen their understanding of God's mission in our neighbourhoods and our world, and how God is using affiliates of the EFC together to advance His Kingdom. Register now below!
“The impact of our unity in following Christ in Canada is amazing – even in this so-called post-Christian era,” asserts David Guretzki, the EFC’s president and resident theologian. “It’s deeply encouraging that more of us realize this and celebrate it together.”
By participating in Together for Canada this November, your church will
Learn about the many free EFC-affiliate resources available to pastors and congregants on issues facing Christians in Canadian society and church communities
Connect more closely with the EFC and other affiliate churches for mutual support, equipping and collaboration
Engage with issues of the day bolstered by current, trustworthy information and biblically informed reflection in harmony with other Christians across Canada
We’ll send you everything you’ll need for a meaningful event
Prayer guide: Four suggested prayer needs for Canada. Use them on one Sunday or spread them out over the month.
Worship service materials: Slides and short video you can play in a service. Text to read aloud or share in a newsletter.
Faith Matters videos: Encourage thinking and discussion with these six videos, about 10 minutes each. Great for small groups or other gatherings.
