Season of Kingdomtide
During these weeks the Church around the world seeks God’s glory and powerful presence to renew the earth. The colour green on our altar table reminds us that Christ’s Kingdom continues to grow. We pray that you will choose to enter His blessed Kingdom as you worship with us.

Thank You to everyone who assisted with the Halloween Supercharged Event last Wednesday evening. We estimate that well over 250 people passed through the building for the activities and fun. Let us pray that this will continue to open doors for the Gospel in our neighbourhood.

Toronto, Ontario
Revs. David & Olivia Phillips are building relationships with residents in the Bloordale Village neighborhood of Toronto. They wrote this week with an exciting update…
Dear Milliken Church Friends,
Last Saturday we hosted our first “event” for friends and neighbours. It started at 11am and continued until 7pm. Everyone was very impressed. Those who came asked us to do more events in the future. More importantly, everyone at the event is following us on Twitch, where we are leading Bible studies, as well as following our other social media platforms. We were also able to enter into conversations about faith with four different people. Each conversation lasted about an hour.
Afterwards, we were invited to go to dinner with the players and asked to connect and meet up with them in November. This is a huge first step! We have filled the role of creating a “community” that we wanted. People are embracing and interested in the fact that Waypoint is a church for gamers. While all are still quite a ways from knowing Christ, the fact that they are following us on social media, and want to connect more is huge in the gamer community – which is normally skeptical of any church.
We will be following up with people later this week and inviting them to an on-location Bible study in November and December. In the meantime, they will track with us on Twitch for our online Bible study. Thank you for your interest, prayers and support.
– Dave & Olivia
