E-update: Monday, March 8, 2010
Greetings!

March break is coming up. Some churches are heading off on a mission trip (like 5 of our CBOQ churches heading to Montreal this Friday), some will be hosting local VBSs and others will be taking a much needed break after an intense ministry season. 

What is your ministry doing?  We'd love to hear your stories and will post some examples on our website.  Send your submission to Alvin.

PS  If you're interested in getting regular updates about our Montreal Mission team, feel free to follow us on Twitter.

Springforth and Grandview Young Adult Exchanges
 
Date: May 3-5 (Grandview), May 6-8 (Springforth)
Location: Vancouver BC (Grandview); Moncton NB (Springforth)
Cost: approx. $150 per person

CBOQ Youth partners with our other Canadian Baptist affiliates. 

We are returning with 2 interns, led by Steve Elshaw (youth pastor at Central Baptist Church in Oakville and our Avalanche 2010 team captain coordinator) to join our Convention of Atlantic Baptist Churches friends at Springforth, their annual high school event.  This May 6-8 excursion is an opportunity to participate in youth ministry in a different context, and see what is transferable back home. 

New this year: CBOQ is partnering with the Canadian Baptists of Western Canada to visit with Grandview Calvary Baptist Church and their para-church ministry partnerships in Vancouver such as Urban Promise.  This individual will be joining Alvin and an intern from CABC.
