Important Changes for TILT!!

There are a few important schedule changes coming up over the next few weeks for TILT, so please make note of dates and times!

To begin, Tilt is changing its regular meeting time to 6:00p.m. Sunday evenings and will be meeting in the lounge for the forseeable future, with a few exceptions as noted below. The change in time and place has come about as a result of our conversations over the past month, and we're hoping these changes will addresses some of the desires and concerns expressed. If you have additional feedback, please email tilt leadership at tilt.toronto{at}gmail.com.

Here are specific dates to make note of:

DECEMBER 19 @6:00p.m.: We are having a POT-PLAN meal together (like a potluck, but without the luck part...please email the leadership team to tell them if you're coming and what you're bringing so they can plan accordingly).

DECEMBER 24 @7:00p.m.: As TILT is part of the Spring Garden community, we are sharing a Christmas eve candlelight worship gathering together @7:00 pm in the sanctuary.

DECEMBER 26: NO TILT GATHERING! Most of the community is either out of town or unable to come, so we will not be meeting.

JANUARY 2 @6:00p.m.: From this date on we will be returning to a consistent pattern of meeting every week at 6:00pm in the lounge.

That's all for now. If we don't see you, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

TILT VILLAGE HALL MEETING


This Sunday November 21 @4pm the TILT community will be holding a "village hall" meeting (same as a town hall meeting, just with more letters) in lieu of our usual worship gathering. If you are or have recently been a part of the TILT community, please prayerfully come to participate in our conversation about the future of TILT; what God is doing and where He is leading us.

This meeting is not informational in purpose (ie to give information on decisions already made) but conversational (ie to participate in making the decisions), so if you are planning to come, please take some time this week to humbly pray and seek God's wisdom and heart for our community.

Stations of Holy Week | March 28


Each year on Palm Sunday we gather together to journey with Jesus through the final moments of his life by using an adaptation of the "Stations of the Cross". On March 28th at 4:00pm (note the time change from the usual 6:30) our stations will take us through moments of the last week of Jesus' life leading up to his crucifixion as recorded in the Gospel of John in continuation with our present series "They Saw His Glory"

This year instead of using beads to assist our prayer journey, we will be using 10 knot prayer ropes. If you are not familiar with prayer ropes and would like to know more before you come, click here for more information.

Following the Stations of Holy week, stay and join us at 6:00pm for our first ever TILT Chilli Challenge (for more information, see previous post)
