Sunday June 11th

In Sunday's reading, Jesus is sending his disciples out connect with the people. The task seems big but Jesus encourages them to start small - even a cup of cold water can make a difference in someone's life. Good advice for us all. You want to do some good? Start small. And things will grow from there.

Camp Update

We are saddened to share that we did not qualify this year for grant funding from the Canada Summer Jobs Program to support our camp program. Funding from grants normally covers half of our camp budget each year, and subsidizes the registration fees for all of our campers by approximately 40%. The shortfall is $20,000. That is a lot, but have no doubt that we will find a way to close our shortfall for 2023 and ensure the smooth running of our amazing program this summer.

Next to Normal

Globe Productions is proud to present Next to Normal at The Old Armoury.  

Next to Normal, explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness. Winner of three 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize. Dad's an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal because the mother has been battling bipolar disorder for 16 years. Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family's story with love, sympathy and heart. 

June 9 & 10 @ 8PM
