SUMMARY:Alpha - In Person - Evening
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a safe space to discuss life’s big questions? You’re at the right spot! Alpha is a series of interactive sessions exploring the basics of the Christian faith\, meaning and life. \nEach session looks at a different question\, and is designed to create conversation. There’s no pressure\, no follow-up and no charge; it’s just an open\, informal\, and honest space to explore and discuss life’s big questions together. \nOffered IN-PERSON weekly for 11 weeks\, this course starts on Wednesday September 27\, 2023 from 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm at NBUC \nA light dinner will be served followed by the video and small group discussions. \nVideo.\nThe videos are designed to be engaging and inspire conversation. Usually around 30 minutes long\, they explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity\, addressing questions like “Who is Jesus?”\, “Why and how do I pray?” and “How does God guide us?” \nSmall Group Discussion.\nProbably the most important part of any Alpha: the chance to share thoughts and ideas about the talk without being corrected or judged. There’s no obligation to say anything; it’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective. \nCheck out the first session to see if this is something you would like to explore! \nAll are welcome!

SUMMARY:A Christmas Carol- Dec 8th 2023 @7pm. Tickets $10.
DESCRIPTION:Originally written in 1843\, “A Christmas Carol”\, the story of Ebenezer Scrooge\, is a popular and timeless story of transformation and love set in Victorian England. This production is delivered in period costume by experienced “readers” who have been successfully delivering this message for over 20 years. This was originally co- produced with the CBC and presented throughout Simcoe County and York Region. \nWritten in five “staves” or chapters\, the individual readers have an opportunity to deliver this ghostly tale with humour\, wit\, and their own personal touch. The Principal Readers are two veterans of this production\, Laurie Lang\, Past President of the Literacy Council of Simcoe County and Rob Murdock\, the Director of Adult Programs-Collier United Church . They will be supplemented by three community members who have an opportunity to “let their creative juices flow”. \nThis production will take place over approximately 2 hours with an Intermission and a chance to sample some Christmas Goodies! We will finish the evening with a rousing chorus of two or three well-known Carols to put us in the festive mood for this holy season. \nCOME JOIN THE FUN! \nFRIDAY\, DECEMBER 08 2023 7:00 p.m. \nCOLLIER STREET UNITED CHURCH- 112 Collier St. Barrie \nTickets $10 per person.

SUMMARY:Alpha - On-Line  - Evening
DESCRIPTION:Alpha is a series of interactive sessions exploring the basics of the Christian faith. \nEach session looks at a different question\, and is designed to create conversation. There’s no pressure\, no follow-up and no charge; it’s just an open\, informal\, and honest space to explore and discuss life’s big questions together. \nOffered ONLINE weekly for 11 weeks\, on Wednesday evenings from 7:00pm – 8:30pm starting on September 27\, 2023 \nVideo.\nThe videos are designed to be engaging and inspire conversation. Usually around 30 minutes long\, they explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity\, addressing questions like “Who is Jesus?”\, “Why and how do I pray?” and “How does God guide us?” \nSmall Group Discussion.\nProbably the most important part of any Alpha: the chance to share thoughts and ideas about the talk without being corrected or judged. There’s no obligation to say anything; it’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective. \nCheck out the first session to see if this is something you would like to explore! \nAll are welcome!

SUMMARY:Rimbala Classes for Seniors
DESCRIPTION:Rimbala is an evidence-based falls prevention program that uses music as the principle means of intervention. Based on the work of visionary Swiss composer Émile Jaques-Dalcroze\, Rimbala enjoys one of the highest falls prevention results in the world\, with a 54% reduction in falls for community-dwelling seniors. \nOlder adults improve their gait (walking style)\, mobility\, cognitive skills and social intelligence in a relaxed but joyous setting. The improvised music brings fresh neuroplastic experiences that improves the connection between the body and brain in ways that conventional exercise cannot. Because music is broadly distributed in the brain\, there is a hypothesis that gentle exercise with cognitive components can prevent participants from the ravages of dementia — including Alzheimer’s. \nFor more information\, please visit: www.rimbala.com \nClasses are held at: \nRosedale United Church 159 Roxborough Dr\, Toronto Wednesdays 11:30 AM-12:30 PM $20.00 per session \nand online at various times throughout the week. \nPlease contact Dr. Daniel Rubinoff: 416.709.8381 doctor.rimbala@gmail.com
