WINNIPEG, Man.—The Many Rooms Church Community seized the opportunity to participate in Come and See, a season of spiritual renewal for our conference.

For this special season Many Rooms held several mini-retreats. Our retreats focused on the following themes: Advent, prayer and fasting, worship and songwriting, spiritual direction, and prayer for children. We also enjoyed being in God’s beautiful creation and being together with each other in person!

A couple of study groups formed during the six weeks of Lent. One group followed a Lenten devotional and another group met to read and discuss the book Leading a Church in a Time of Sexual Questioning.

Just before Pentecost we participated in a week-long prayer room in our neighbourhood that ended with a creative neighbourhood worship service on Pentecost Sunday.

Our Come and See finale included a 20-mile pilgrimage done by 15 people who trekked from our neighbourhood in downtown Winnipeg to a farm outside the city where we had a baptism and renewed our church covenant together.

We have enjoyed the journey together through this season of spiritual renewal.
