STEWARDSHIP CORNER: Your givings are helping our Diocese of
Toronto support an exciting church-planting project! Under the leadership of the
Rev. Ryan Sim (who attended Sunday School at St John’s as a boy) Redeemer
Ajax started three years ago reaching out to thousands of commuters from the
GTA: 1460 installations of the mobile app, over 800 distinct users in 2014
alone, 4001 videos played on Christian Education topics from the website
“Redeem the Commute” with the Daily Challenges being the most popular
content. The Family Room (like our Messy Church) meets every other Sunday
morning in a school gym with about 29 people now attending on average.
Practicing generosity is an expression of our discipleship and builds up the
Church community for God’s growing Kingdom.
