YF/PE Action Life discussion this Friday (13th) Ouje deadline this week

Thanks for an incredible Easter weekend, we were able to reflect on and proclaim the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ! In His great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead 1 Pet 1:3. 33 youth from our fellowship were able to join over 800 youth citywide at No Other Name, it's always incredible to watch lives encounter Christ, worship together and share in the Lord's supper.

This Friday (13th), we have the opportunity to hear from (and interact with) Devorah, a representative from Action Life Ottawa on issues regarding abortion and euthanasia. This is a polarizing topic in our schools, workplaces and in the community of faith. Many people (including those in our YF/PE) have strong feelings regarding these issues, it was a workshop that was presented at No Other Name and we have the privilege of having the presentation available for our group. Please bring your Bible, a willingness to listen as well as ask any question that you may want on this particular issue.
