Guatemala Mission Awareness Trip
Four individuals from the Presbytery of Hamilton will be joined by four other Canadians (three from Thunder Bay and one from West Vancouver) on a ten day mission awareness trip to Guatemala. This trip is the second in a series of contacts between Canadian Presbyterians and fellow Christians from Guatemala in the rebuilding of a local church there. This trip brings toward a conclusion a project begun several years ago. Four Hamilton area congregations (Alberton, Ancaster, Carluke and Chedoke) to provide financial support and personal encouragement to a local congregation in Guatemala. Three members of the Chedoke congregation and the Rev. Stephen Jenvey of West Flamboro are the Hamilton area members of the team. They are scheduled to leave Canada on February 13th. and return on February 23rd. We look forward to hearing more of their experience.Alberton Website
September 2009. Alberton Presbyterian Church has recently posted a new website. The site is located at www.albertonchurch.ca. The goal of the project is to model a more informal style of congregational website and also to create a site that serves not only the Alberton congregation but the local Alberton community as well.
Rappin' Up The Bible
September 2009. A local Presbyterian has just released a new Bible curriculum for childrenSteve Baldry, Director of Christian Education at Chedoke Church in Hamilton, has just released this exciting and affordable program resource that covers the whole Bible in 80 sessions. Using the medium of Rap the program gives kids a chronological overview of the Bible.
The complete package consists of a DVD, which provides engaging onscreen graphics and a sound track for the rap, and detailed printed curriculum resources for each session.
This is a program that it has been thoroughly road tested and has proven its appeal and effectiveness. Rappin' Up the Bible began as the teaching resource for Chedoke Church's highly successful "Kids Roc" program. The really exciting thing is that kids remember the "rap" years after they have been through the program.
Details, demos and order information is available at rappinupthebible.com
