Blue Jays Game Day
Leader: Conrad Huggins

Your reigning World Series finalists are making another run toward the playoffs — and we are absolutely going to be there in person.

Are they still selling peanuts and Cracker Jack at the Rogers Centre? Unclear. What we can promise: the concessions are extensive, and Pastor Conrad has volunteered for thorough quality assurance — visiting them, in his words, “a few times.” (As for whether he ever wants to get back, the song lyrics suggest he won’t.)

Good news: no school bus this year. We’re travelling by air-conditioned coach. Let the church say amen.

The Jays take on the Tampa Bay Rays in a “Work From Dome” afternoon game — bring a laptop and look productive… or don’t.

When: Thursday, July 23 — first pitch 3:07pm Coach departs Central at 11:45am, giving us time to get downtown, watch some BP, and settle in. Cost: $73 — includes game ticket and round-trip transportation.

Led by Pastor Conrad, who will be at the game in spirit and at the concessions in person.

Fellowship of Christian Businesses & Professionals
Leader: Paul Oladipo

The Fellowship of Christian Businesses and Professionals Group (FCBP) is a fellowship of Christians in the marketplace. We gather to exemplify the principles of iron sharpens iron, encourage and build each other up, and practice love for neighbour.

We believe that our jobs, careers, and professions are not just opportunities to deliver on these principles but also to promote the values taught in the Bible as beneficial business and work ethics and practices. Individually, corporately, and as members of the church, we are still bound to make mistakes and hurt each other. But at the end of the day, God’s love and the teachings of Jesus Christ will give us the wisdom and the grace to make and keep things right.

Led by Fausto Victorio and Paul Oladipo.

Knitting Interest Group
Leader: Heather Emmons

Wednesday evenings under the church awning — needles, yarn, and good company on Central’s “concrete lawn” (yes, technically a sidewalk, but it’s our sidewalk). Bring a project, a lawn chair, and a beverage (the café may not be open this time around — though the washrooms will be, which feels like the more important detail).
The vibe is easy: meet people, swap patterns, chat, knit. We usually welcome both beginners and seasoned pros, but since we won’t have a screen available this round for tutorials, this one is better suited to folks who already have a project underway.

When: Wednesdays, 6:30-7:30pm, July 8 – August 12 (six weeks)

Where: Outside under the awning at Central — bring a lawn chair Cost: Free Rain plan: We’re covered, so a little rain won’t stop us. If the forecast looks rough, we’ll email everyone the day of to confirm or cancel.

Kick off your Friday evening with fun, movement, and community at our Line Dancing Interest Group. Whether you have always wanted to try line dancing or you are looking for a welcoming place to brush up on the basics, this group is designed for beginners of all ages. No partner and no prior experience required.

Line dancing is something often found in bar settings, but this group offers a joyful, family-friendly space to learn and connect right here at church. We will learn traditional line dances set to clean and Christian music, creating an atmosphere that is energetic, encouraging, and uplifting.

The first hour will focus on teaching and learning new dances. The second hour will be dedicated to reviewing what we have learned that evening and in previous sessions, helping you build confidence and skill over time.

All ages and abilities are welcome! Wear comfortable clothing and shoes you can move in. Come ready to move, laugh, and build community one step at a time.

Kids ages birth to high school will be joining in each week. Note: Moms are responsible for direct supervision of their children during group time.

PARK DAYS: Meet us at one of the many parks in Niagara! We set up blankets, bring snacks, and go on pinecone hunts together. The kids often find great sticks along the way – many of which make the trip home. Most parks include swing sets, jungle gyms, and slides, and some weeks even a splash pad for extra fun. Free parking is available. Please check the weekly email for the specific location.

BEACH DAYS: Meet us in the middle of Port Dalhousie Beach (Lakeside), under the trees. We set up blankets, bring beach toys and snacks, and enjoy splashing in the water. Our older kids often create a train of water buckets to help our littlest builders make their sandcastles stand tall. Please note: there is a fee for parking in the main lot, with free parking available in the nearby subdivision or at Jaycee Gardens with a short walk over the bridge.

Secret Sisters Group Wednesday Evening Groups St. Catharines
Secret Sisters Group
Leader: Charlene Gains

A women’s group built around something simple and quietly powerful: praying for one another.

Here’s how it works. At our first meeting, every woman fills out a small info sheet — birthday, anniversary, family, anything she’d like the others to know. The sheets get folded up, and we each pick one. The name on your sheet is your secret sister: the one woman you’ll quietly pray for, support, and encourage in the months ahead.

She won’t know it’s you. Only the coordinator will. That’s part of the beauty of it.
Through the season, you can send words of encouragement, drop a card in the mail, or simply hold her in prayer when something from her sheet comes to mind. If a more urgent need ever arises, the coordinator can quietly pass it along while keeping your identity under wraps. In December, we gather, exchange a small gift, and the secret is finally revealed. Then we begin again.
It’s a gentle commitment — no scripts, no schedule. Just steady prayer for one woman who’s quietly doing the same for you.

Format: Monthly gatherings — with most communication happening between meetings, by email or quietly behind the scenes.

Led by Charlene G.

Toronto FC Game  
Leader: Mario Caracciolo

You’ve spent the summer watching your country play football on TV (because, as we all learned, in-person tickets cost approximately one small mortgage).
Now let’s see some live club footy at a much more reasonable price point.
Toronto FC vs. Charlotte FC — Wednesday night, under the lights. There will be chanting. There will be singing. There will (hopefully) be Toronto goals. Bonus: the CNE hasn’t started yet, so downtown won’t be completely feral.

When: Wednesday, August 19 — kickoff at 7:30pm Where: BMO Field, Toronto Cost: $49 per ticket. Transportation not included — arrange your own ride, or jump on the GO train with the group.

Pastors Mario and Conrad will both be there. One of them is statistically more likely to be found at the concession stand buying hot dogs. The other will be watching the actual game. (We’re starting to sense a theme.)

A summer of casual get-togethers for Spanish speakers — and anyone who wants to soak up a little Spanish along the way (though the English-to-Spanish ratio does shift noticeably whenever Pastor Conrad is around).
This summer we’re planning three casual gatherings: a beach day (July 25th), a visit to the farm (August 1) and a pizza lunch (August 15th).
The vibe: come to one, come to all. Pick and choose. Meet up at each event. No pressure, no agenda — just good company. Sign-up for more information.
¿Hablas español? Ven a conocer a otros que también lo hablan. Una temporada de buena compañía, sin presión: únete a un evento, a varios, o a todos. Tú decides.
