Rev. Dr. Stephen Farris

Manna Days at Crieff Hills Community

In the last issue of Renewal News, we erroneously indicated "The next Manna Days are scheduled for February 16th and May 17th." The correct date for the next Manna Day is February 9, 2012, 10:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. at Crieff Hills Retreat and Conference Centre near Guelph, Ontario. The speaker is Rev. Dr. Stephen Farris, Dean of St. Andrew's Hall, Vancouver BC, and he will be tackling the subject, "Exploring Perplexing Old Testament Writings" -- the kind of passages that we tend to skip over because we don't understand them. "Manna Days", named after the miraculous food that God provided in the desert for the Israelites after the Exodus, are designed for those who are now enjoying the benefits of available mid-week time. Over 110 people attended the last Manna Day. To attend, please register by February 1. For more information, please download the online registration form.

The Heart, Voice, and Legs of Prayer

Theme Speakers

Rev. Kevin LeeRev. Kevin Lee is minister of Bridlewood Presbyterian Church in Scarborough, Ontario. Kevin was born in Seoul, South Korea, and came to Canada in 1975. He has had wide-ranging influences on his spiritual formation: Full Gospel Pentecostal influence from his parents; Korean Methodism; Missionary Alliance; and finally, the Reformed tradition through the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Kevin is married to Hannah and they have three daughters.
In speaking on the theme The Heart of Prayer, Kevin will lay out three foundations of prayer from Psalm 22 and Psalm 88: Praying Your Emotions; Praying the Word; and Prayer as Commitment.

Luanne will speak on the theme The Voice of Prayer.

Rev. Doug SchonbergRev. Doug Schonberg has served as Lead Minister with Chippawa Presbyterian Church in Niagara Falls, Ontario, since 1998 and is a co-creator of The Discipleship Project. He has had the privilege of seeing God work in amazing ways when his people have been willing to take steps. He is married to Wendy, and they have two teenage children. His family blesses him by keeping his feet grounded when he is running.
The Legs of Prayer - Only a moving car can be steered; without movement it stays in place. In order for God to steer, His people must be willing to move. A life of prayer includes movement, and with movement, God directs. This session will inspire you to get moving.
