Annual Events

Throughout the year aside from our regular weekly worship services and bible studies we conduct several annual events. 

March/April:  Good Friday service.  An opportunity for extended family, friends and guests to gather with the church at Covenant to reflect on the glorious resurrection of Christ.  This is a gospel service with a pot-providential feast.

Summer/Fall:  Church Cabin-in.  In a post-modern culture many non-Christians are intimidated by the whole "church building" experience.  In an effort to reach the unchurched population and friends and family with the gospel we "move the church" to a campground for a weekend.

 

Camp Kahquah: Site of several Covenant Cabin-ins.

 

Our next cabin-in is scheduled for the Fall of 2007 and will be held at Camp Shalom-by-the-Lake in Minden, Ontario.  Contact us for details.

August:  Usually on the Civic Holiday we hold the Outreach Church Picnic.  Church members are encouraged to invite family, co-workers and friends for a celebration on the church lawn or at one of our member's houses. 

October 31st: Reformation Day.   This could also be called church history day for Covenant as we gather to learn about the men and women who have been used by the Lord in history.  Over the past number of years we have looked at Martin and Kate Luther, John Calvin, John Knox and William Tyndale.   Each year a short play is produced starring our own members and friends based on church history.  There is also the famous "Who wants to win a Chocolate Eclair" Reformation edition game show for adults and children.  And, of course, fellowship and good food at a pot providential supper following the festivities.
 

Some of the Reformers we've celebrated: Luther, Calvin, Knox and Tyndale.

Last Friday in November:  Annual Church Supper.  Each year our intrepid Social Committee plans the annual church "turkey dinner."  This outreach event is designed to once again enable members and friends to invite family, friends and acquaintances to dine and have fellowship with a short Gospel message and carol sing.

Missions

At Covenant, we have always believed that our primary mission and focus is here in Toronto where God has placed our members and friends.  In many ways, Canada is a true mission field with a great need for the Gospel.  As a church we pray that we will continue to be used by God as instruments to fulfill this need according to the Great Commission.

Although we are a small congregation with limited resources we manage, by grace, to be able to privately and individually give some support to Cubao Reformed Baptist Church in Manila, in the Phillipines.  We have been greatly encouraged to see how their ministry has grown to encompass a seminary, Grace Ministerial Academy, and a mission to the homeless and the street children of Manila called Christian Compassion Ministries.
