Our time of weekly prayer took place over Zoom today with First Hamilton CRC. We were able to spend some time reflecting and recognizing some of the good things that God has been up to in the midst of this difficult season, which proved to be a beautiful reminder that God is with us and that He will continue to be with us as we keep on keeping on. We pray that you would be encouraged and reminded today of God’s presence with you as you stop to think about the good things that He is doing in your own life. ...bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father ... (from Colossians 1) #forthegoodofthecity #truecityhamilton #HamOnt #hamiltoninprayer

We grow in Christ as together we engage in his work. Jesus meets us and takes us deeper in our walk with him as we get involved in the work that He is doing. #truecityhamilton #HamOnt #forthegoodofthecity

We recognize both that God is concerned for the whole of Hamilton and that there is an interconnected system that does not allow any neighbourhood to exist in isolation. For both of these reasons, we are committed to engaging the whole of Hamilton. #truecityhamilton #HamOnt #forthegoodofthecity

There is something so rich and powerful about being able to spend time in prayer for each other, and it was so great to be able to gather with a few people from Immanuel CRC earlier today to do just that. It was a real privilege to be able to hear stories of what God has been up to and to hear how this church has been able to practically look after different needs in the community during the pandemic, as well as to be able to pray for those who have some difficult challenges ...ahead of them. Please continue to pray for wisdom and discernment for this church family as they continue to look for ways to be a blessing and encouragement to each other and to their neighbours. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. (Ephesians 3:16-17a) #forthegoodofthecity #truecityhamilton #HamOnt #hamiltoninprayer

Plans are being made for our first-ever ONLINE TrueCity Conference in February 2021. Because we will be online, we have a unique opportunity to invite some speakers to consider joining us virtually who would otherwise be challenging to book. If you have an idea of a speaker or a pastor for us to consider, please message us or leave a comment below. We’ve already got some ideas but we want to hear yours. #truecityhamilton #HamOnt #forthegoodofthecity

"Active presence among those on the social margins who are regularly overlooked and wronged by our society will bring real health and vibrancy for our churches and our city. We take seriously Jesus’ challenge that ‘what you have done to the least of these you have done to me.’ This is the prophetic challenge of TrueCity. #truecityhamilton #HamOnt #forthegoodofthecity

... being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6) #truecityhamilton #HamOnt #forthegoodofthecity
