Jesus centred.
We're meeting every Sunday in November at the Bora Laskin Bldg on LU Campus! New Here?Sunday MorningsSo… church, eh? ๐ฌ
We get it. Walking into a spiritual space with a bunch of strangers can be overwhelming and super awkward. You’re likely wondering if we’re weird and if your kids will be safe and probably a million other anxiety-inducing questions. That is totally fair.ย
First off, Grassroots isn’t weird ๐คช and we absolutely prioritize your kids’ safety, ensuring all volunteers are vetted and have vulnerable sector checks. We invite you to keep exploring and/or connect with our pastor.
Spiritual nomad?
If you feel like a spiritual nomad and that you just don’t fit in with the larger church landscape of Thunder Bay, and yet aren’t ready to give up on Christian community and want to be a part of reimagining what church could look like in our current moment – welcome. This space is for you.

A Tool for Navigating these Polarizing Times
Unless you’ve been living under a rock the last while, you’re aware there was a relatively important election south of the border, in fact. Like me, you’ve perhaps had a political convo or two with friends or family that may have revealed a perspective that left you confused and bewildered. Like, “How on earth do they see reality like that?” There are a number of reasons for this utter disbelief, but maybe at the top of that list is the collective media each of us consume on a daily basis. Because don’t kid yourself, the goal of the media will always be to make bucks even at the expense of truth. The more division they sow, the more dollars they make. Whether it’s social media or a favourite news source, our media now weeds out anything that might cause us to stop viewing or consuming, giving us only what we want to hear and thus making it exceptionally challenging to attend to any unbiased take on what the other side might say.
This week I wanted to just share the story he tells of this girl and the waterfall. I could tell the story but instead I’ll just paste the video here and you can watch.
