Be Loved this Easter
by Steve Brown: Arrow Leadership
As we begin Easter Week, may this post based on an excerpt from Jesus Centered guide your personal journey and inspire you as you point others to Jesus.
I’ll never forget the time a painting made me realize how little I understood God’s love for me.
The Last Supper by painter Jacopo Tintoretto shattered my mental framework for this intimate scene...

Sunday, April 23rd, 6:00 pm
St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, 971 Woodroffe Ave.

DIG & DELVE and the South Asian Christian Fellowship invite you to come to this special evening with Vishal. He will be sharing with us thoughts stemming from his recent book "The Book that Made Your World: How the Bible Created the Soul of Western Civilization".
There will be no charge for this event but a free-will offering will be taken. Stay afterwards for a time of light refreshments and conversation.

Love Ottawa/CHRI Easter Blood Drive
April 1st - 8th
Did you know…that as a result of the pandemic, the Ottawa blood donor base has been reduced by 30% and the donation centres are operating at less than 50% capacity?
Canadian Blood Services (CBS) of Ottawa has recently been appealing for help to rebuild its donor base for blood and blood products.
This is a great opportunity for the church in Ottawa to unite together
and show it cares.

A friend of One Way Ministries is asking for Pastors to participate in a Survey that will be of benefit to the Pastoral Community...
As clergy, you are being invited to participate in the research project of an ordained minister who is conducting research as part of the fulfillment of her doctoral degree. This request to participate in this research is supported by One Way Ministries leadership team and it is our belief that there is minimal to no risk for you to participate in this project.
If you do participate, we would kindly ask that you refrain from discussing the contents of the survey with other clergy as this could negatively impact the integrity of the survey and impede the researcher’s purposes.
If you have questions about the survey, please email them to Rev. Brenda Haggett. Please note that this research is supervised by Dr. Yvonne Hindes of Yorkville University. This research has been reviewed and approved [REB Certificate #20221209BH] by Yorkville University’s Research Ethics Board and conforms to the standards of Canadian Tri-Council Research Ethics guidelines. If you have any questions about this process or about your rights as a participant in this study, please contact the REB chair.
