Paradigms

Published on // Written by

Considering Paradigms within our Relationships

We all have paradigms (concepts, thought patters, theories & standards) when it comes to how we relate to each other. Some are healthy but some can create the pain and hurt we feel. Many times we don’t even realize we have a paradigm until things go wrong, and then we’re left to pick up the pieces. 

This January, we explored three paradigms with Stella Mfoafo-M’Carthy (Therapist) that hold us back from God and unity with others – Shame, Power & Control, & Boundaries.

Week 1 – Resources on SHAME

Week 2 – Resources on POWER & CONTROL

Week 3 – Resources on BOUNDARIES

Please reach out to Pastor Andrew if you would like to discuss any of these resources further and how you might be able to implement some of these principals with the people in your life.

One thing we value at WPA are families worshipping together. Worshipping together can be an impactful moment amongst families, but it can also be a real struggle. Pastor Andrew will be holding a one hour zoom call about why families worshipping together is so important and ways you can help your child stay interested and invested on Sundays.

Photo Scavenger Hunt

Published on // Written by

At Waterloo Park // July 15, 7-9pm

We are running our annual Photo Scavenger Hunt in Waterloo Park!

How it Works

  • This is a self-guided scavenger hunt. You will need to co-ordinate your own drop off/pick up locations/times as well as who you wish to do this scavenger hunt with. 
  • We encourage you to play this game with your family, with a group of your friends, OR with one of our leaders by choosing that option when registering. Please be aware that leader groups will be limited & capped at 8 people, so if you plan to choose this option be sure to register early.
  • Everyone MUST register for this event. Each participant needs to register separately and indicate how they plan to participate (leader-led group, group of friends, family) on the registration form. This allows us to have individual contact information in case of emergency.
  • The Scavenger Hunt list and the link to upload your photos will be sent to the email address you registered with on Friday afternoon. 
  • You will need at least one device per group capable of taking photos and uploading to the link. 

P. Andrew will be available at any time during this event near The Old School House & by cell phone.
