A Biblical Conversation on Mental Health

Saturday | June 21, 2025 | 9am - 12:30pm

You’re invited to join us on Saturday, June 21 from 9am - 12:30pm for a special seminar on Mental Health. This half-day event, led by Pastor Nathan Penny, is designed to help us understand and engage in conversations about mental health using biblical language and foundation. Throughout the morning, there will be a strong emphasis on personal application — helping each of us reflect, respond, and take steps forward in faith and care. A light breakfast will be served, and doors will open at 8:15am. Please note: No childcare will be provided, and this event is for Grade 12 and up. Whether you’re walking through a difficult season, supporting someone who is, or simply longing to grow in compassion and understanding, this seminar is for you.

Resource Library

Open every Sunday after service

Our resource library, located upstairs, has a growing and diverse range of titles, from picture books to adult guides, catering to both children and adults. Our library is open on Sundays. For the children's safety, during service hours, the doors leading upstairs remain locked. However, after the service, adults and children are encouraged to browse the collection. We've also made it more convenient for you by putting our library catalogue on the Church Center app, allowing you to explore books from the comfort of your home and borrow them when you come on Sunday. When you're ready to borrow or return, simply head over to the Hope Kids registration desk, where our friendly team will be ready to assist you in borrowing or returning books.

What is Child Dedication?
  1. As a Christian parent, by dedicating your child to the Lord, you are acknowledging your need for God in your family. You are inviting God to be active in your family life, submitting your own desires for your child to God’s desires, and making a commitment to raise your child in God’s way. Parents are acknowledging that we believe that God must be a part of our family life if it is to be good and healthy. (Psalm 127:1)
  2. Parents are acknowledging that their child is a gift from God and they are earthly stewards of the life God has placed in their home. (Psalm 127:3-5)
  3. Parents are publicly declaring their intention to raise their child in such a way that they are given an opportunity to know God and to establish a personal relationship with Christ. Parents’ actions in raising their children are important to God. We have a responsibility as followers of Christ to raise our children in a way that will please the Lord.  The responsibilities the Lord has entrusted to parents include continuously praying for their children, instructing them in the way of the Lord, setting a godly example, and disciplining them as the Lord would discipline us. As parents, you are only able to do these things through Christ’s strength. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Ephesians 6:4)
  4. Parents are affirming their total dependence upon the Lord. (John 15:5)
  5. Parents are asking family, friends and the church community to prayerfully support and hold them accountable to these commitments. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
  6. Parents are following the Scriptural example of dedicating children to the Lord given in 1 Samuel 1:11, 26-28, where Hannah vowed to dedicate her child to the Lord if He would grant her one. The Lord honored her request and she kept her vow, dedicating Samuel to the Lord. (1 Samuel 1:11 )
