Chinese-English Corner
UPDATE: Milliken has started a new outreach called “Chinese-English Corner” Tuesday evenings at 6:30pm. Our mission is to connect with members from our Chinese-speaking community and our Church family will have an opportunity to learn English and in a three-part education experience. For now, we are currently offering English lessons to our Chinese-speaking community, taught by English teacher, Mr. Colbert Dennis. Later on, we will have a Chinese-speaking teacher who will teach Chinese to interested Milliken members. The goal is to then have a Chinese-English exchange where we can learn from each other through conversation and fellowship. We will keep you posted when Chinese classes begin.
Teen Challenge
This morning we will have the honour of hearing a dynamic presentation by Teen Challenge Canada, featuring testimonies and stories of finding freedom from addiction in God.

Training will begin at 11:00 am, and will last an hour and a half.
