Trisha Hope – How God can Use us in the Midst of Suffering
Trisha is a proud Mom of four boys, three here in the Edmonton area and one in heaven. She is the gramma of five grandchildren, four here and one in heaven. She has worked as a Massage Therapist for twenty years and the last ten have been in contract to Covenant Health at the Edmonton General Hospital. In conjunction with her massage career, Trisha is employed by Capitalcare as a Spiritual Care Coordinator. She leads the Single and Parenting group at Heartland Alliance Church and is passionate about the work that is going on in the Edmonton inner city at the George Spady Center. Having a Masters of Theology has given her the skeleton in relation to suffering but life experience and journeying with others has put flesh on the bones.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE – Tuesday, March 12 noon
Please note: At this time, Connecting Streams’ Volunteer Training is open to anyone – at no cost. Volunteers and those with a participatory interest in Connecting Streams will be given preference in the event that registration fills and space is limited.
*Cross Pollination, and Why it is a Good Idea
Just as in the plant world, where new life arises from the introduction of pollen from other plants, we believe our volunteer teams have much to offer one another by the exchange of ideas which are rooted in a common ministry purpose. As you listen to those from other teams share their successes and their challenges, may you be encouraged and challenged to return to your area of ministry with fresh vision and strength.
