Thank you to everyone who attended our Darby Strickland Author Meet & Greet event at Learning Centre Ontario last night.
We were blessed by Darby's thoughtful insights on trauma and suffering. She helped us consider how, as churches, Christian communities, and the body of Christ, we can wisely and compassionately walk alongside those who are suffering, reflecting Christ in our interactions by studying and learning from the various examples He has set forth in Scripture for us that reveal His character and compassionate approach to those who are suffering. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience with us, Darby.
We pray the evening was an encouragement and blessing to all who attended. Thank you for joining us!

Our final Transform class of the 2026 Spring Season came and went last night, finishing off our “What Does It Mean to be Human?” course.
A special thank you to Crossway who offered to partner along with us and Reformed Book Services to provide copies of “A Little Theology of Exercise“ by David Mathis to all course participants.
