About the course:
The Sanctuary Course is an eight-part course for small groups designed to raise awareness and start conversations in local churches regarding mental health. It offers communities a base of shared knowledge and the opportunity to discover a common language for talking about mental health.

Topics covered include: mental health and mental illness, stigma, the recovery journey, companionship, self-care, and the role of community. Each theme is covered from a psychological, social, and theological angle, and each session includes a short film that tells the story of a person of faith with mental health challenges.

There is no homework, but it’s recommended that you read the short sessions in the course book before each group gathering.

Because there is limited space, please only sign up if you are available to attend a minimum of 6 out of the 8 sessions.

Cost: $10 for printed course book  (or download the PDF for free)

We have set up a new email address for the Elders Board to help make it easier for you to get in touch with them.  Please email elders@nsac.bc.ca if you have any questions or comments you would like to share with the Elders.

Another Operation Christmas Child season has drawn to a close, with 1,463 shoeboxes collected! Thank you for participating this year!

As the shoeboxes are being shipped and distributed, please join us in praying that God will put each shoebox in the hands of just the right child, so that every boy and girl can experience His love in a speacial way.  Pray also that the shoeboxes will open doors for the Gospel to be presented and for the Christmas Child to be made known.  Our hope is that many children will come to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour!

Shoeboxes can still be packed online at www.packabox.ca if you missed the in-person collection and would like to participate!

Please bring your own reusable mug on Sunday mornings to help us reduce the number of disposable cups being used each week.

Thank you for giving to the ministries and mission of North Shore Alliance Church. If you have any questions please contact accountant@nsac.bc.ca
