A Message From The Board:
February is Staff Appreciation month at Ebenezer, and we'd like to take this time to show how much we love and value our Staff Team. We are so blessed to be led by such a committed, hardworking, and Godly group. Please spend some time this month praying for our staff, and showing them your appreciation through a note, text, or a creative encouragement. They'd love to hear from you! You can find a full list of our staff team on our website.

Women's Ministry-Going Deeper
A new 10-week study Tuesdays from 10:00am - 11:30am.
We will be using a DVD/Study Book format for our study called, The Problem of Jesus by Mark Clark.
Jesus upends everything we ever thought about God, ourselves, and what life is all about.
From demons to miracles, heaven and hell, and the purpose of our lives - Jesus speaks to every area of life, even the topics we don't want Him to talk about.
This study will both challenge you and give you confidence in sharing Jesus with others. Study books are available for $20.
Mom's Friendship Group
Find yourself needing to connect with other moms?
Thursday mornings (10:00am - 11:30am) there will be an opportunity to do just that at Ebenezer in the new Chapel.
This will be a casual time of building current friendships and starting new ones.
We will provide a comfortable space, some toys (or bring your own for babies), and coffee (no childcare will be provided at this time).
Any questions or suggestions? Contact grace@ebenezerbaptist.ca
