Last week, Threshold Ministries was blessed to have participated in the 147th Synod of the Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, in Halifax, NS. Aiming "to participate in God’s mission of reconciling the world to God, through Jesus Christ," the synod representatives participated in a 3-day conference where they shared in times of worship, prayer, deliberations and fellowship.
It's encouraging to see how God is moving in people, across this great land, and mobilizing congregations to transform communities and see lives changed!
