PARENTING TEENS IN A SEXUALLY CHARGED WORLD — Presented by Jason Soucinek

Believe it or not, our culture is becoming more and more sexualized. Truth has been jettisoned and individuals have become the authority, making their decisions — sexual and others — based on how they feel at any given point in time. Our kids inhabit a world filled with Snapchat and Instagram, nonstop access to pornography and a media culture that only perpetuates their continued sexualization. You will learn ways to engage this reality as a parent by not communicating a list of restrictions and “don’ts” and still honouring the full and wonderful breadth of God’s grand design as the sex-maker.

Cost: $7 (+ fees) | Childcare available

Hurricanes Harvey and Irma have caused catastrophic damage to South Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.

How can you help? ARDF is partnering with Bishop Clark Lowenfield of the Anglican Diocese of the Western Gulf Coast. Based in Houston, Bishop Clark will be coordinating the relief effort among churches in the region. Once the weather has passed, they will make an assessment of the ACNA communities in the flooded areas and begin to distribute the aid we are receiving now. Join the relief effort regarding Hurricane Harvey with the Anglican Relief & Development Fund Canada.

ARDF is also partnering with several Anglican Dioceses to help get relief to people affected by Hurricane Irma: the Diocese of the Gulf Atlantic, based in Jacksonville, FL, The Anglican Diocese of the South, based in Atlanta, GA, and the Diocese of the Carolinas, based in Pleasant, SC. At the moment, you can only donate regarding Hurricane Irma via the General ARDF Website.

MULLY — Documentary Film

MULLY — Documentary Film

CHANGING THE WORLD ONE CHILD AT A TIME

October 4 & 12, 2017 | Cineplex Colisée Kirkland

What happens when a six-year-old boy in Kenya is abandoned by his family and left to raise himself on the streets? MULLY is no ordinary rags-to-riches tale. It's the true story of Charles Mully, whose unlikely stratospheric rise to wealth and power leaves him questioning his own existence, searching for meaning in life. Against the better judgment of family and community, Mully sets out to enrich the fate of orphaned children across Kenya. Jeopardizing his own life and the security of his family, Charles Mully risks everything and sets in motion a series of events that is nothing short of astonishing.

You can catch this new documentary film from Focus on the Family at the Cineplex Colisée Kirkland exclusively on October 4 and 12.

South Sudan Famine Relief — ARDFC

South Sudan Famine Relief — ARDFC

The South Sudanese — already desperately poor and struggling to survive in the midst of a three-year civil war — are facing famine. Many have had to flee their homes searching for safety. Others, who have stayed behind haven't been able to plant their crops due to the war. The warring government and rebel forces which have created this terrible situation have been preventing humanitarian aid from reaching those most in need. Now the international community is beginning to take note and stepping in to try to restore peace and order and get food and supplies to the starving.

With our strong relationship with the South Sudan Episcopal Church, we are able to send aid directly to where the famine is most severe to support their work of feeding and caring for those who need it most. Join the relief effort with the Anglican Relief & Development Fund Canada.
