Virtual Home Groups 2.0:

Your Care Journey Starts Here!

VHGs function as small communities within the wider church, gathering virtually to discuss biblical topics, share insights, and support one another. Each group is organized by geographical location, allowing members to connect with those who live nearby.

🙌🏾 What we need from you:

• Join a group if you haven’t yet; there’s a place for you.
• Re-engage your group if you’re a returning member.
• Invite someone who needs community this year.
• Pray with us as we believe for lives to be transformed.

This is more than a program: It’s how we build community, strengthen discipleship, and live out the gospel together.

Jesus Strikes Bowling Tournament:

Virtual Home Group Competition

Rhema Christian Ministries invites you to an afternoon where community, joy, and purpose meet on the lanes. Join us for the Jesus Strikes Bowling Tournament: a VHG Competition designed to bring generations together in laughter, fellowship, and shared impact.

This is not about how well you bowl. It is about showing up, cheering one another on, and strengthening the bonds that make us family. Whether you come with your home group, your children, a friend, or on your own, everyone is invited to join in the fun.

The first $1,000 raised will support our Rhema Foodbank, helping meet real needs in our community with care and compassion.

The Whole Life Project Initiative:

Phase 1 - Listening & Discernment

Our Senior Pastor announced the launch of The Whole Life Project, an important new initiative focused on supporting holistic growth and spiritual well‑being across every stage of life.

As we begin shaping the structure of this initiative, we want to hear from those within our Rhema family who feel led to share ideas, strategies, or insights that could help move this vision forward. While we are still finalizing the logistics and communication channels for this work, we do not want to miss the opportunity to capture the wisdom and creativity already present in our community.

If you feel prompted to contribute or would like to learn more about how you might be involved, please contact the Church Office during regular office hours at 416 496-1794. A member of our team will be glad to receive your information and ensure it is shared with those who are guiding this initiative.

Thank you for walking with us as we take these early, prayerful steps together.

Youth Ministry Is Re-Launching:

Last Sundays of Each Month | Starting April 26

We’re excited to announce the official start of our Youth Ministry Program for ages 13–19. This is a special opportunity for youth to connect, grow in faith, and build meaningful relationships with one another.

The program will take place every last Sunday of the month, beginning Sunday, April 26th, after worship (during service) at the Rhema Office.

Parents, your encouragement makes all the difference! Together, let’s empower our youth to discover their purpose and become leaders for tomorrow.

✪ Visit us in the Lobby after service to register or for more info.

Celebrating Staff Excellence:

Kessa Kingston

This month, we are pleased to spotlight Kessa Kingston for her faithful leadership as Lead of the Sanctuary Coordinators during Sunday worship service. Kessa serves with grace, dedication, and a welcoming spirit that helps create a warm and organized experience for everyone who enters.

In her role, Kessa provides steady leadership to the ushering team and helps ensure that members and visitors are received with care and kindness. Her attentiveness, consistency, and willingness to serve contribute greatly to the smooth flow of Sunday worship. Through her leadership, she helps foster an atmosphere of hospitality, order, and support within the church family.

Kessa demonstrates patience, responsibility, and a true servant’s heart in the way she carries out her duties. Her commitment to excellence and her positive example are a blessing to both her team and the congregation. We are grateful for her faithful service and the important role she plays each Sunday.

Thank you, Kessa Kingston, for your leadership and dedication to the ushering ministry. Your service is deeply appreciated, and you are a blessing to the church family.
