Well, the weather outside is indeed frightful, or wonderful, depending on your perspective. We'll keep you posted throughout the day and what's happening...Light of the World is tonight - so hopefully the snow will ease up and people will be able to drive safely!
Good morning! Here's what's new:
:. Prayer for the week is posted. Please add your own requests and also note all the prayers from Sunday night! (And would still love to add people to the prayer map...)
:. Devotional resources have been updated and uploaded for the whole month (let me know if you prefer the whole month at once or weekly)
It's been a long day at the office, or in the classroom...you come home and that lengthy TILT Dialogue form is still sitting on your desk/kitchen counter. Grrrrr....we know it's long, so don't feel like you have to fill out the ENTIRE form. Just block out a bit of time to answer the questions you feel most passionate about and go from there...Read here for more details.
We would appreciate having all the forms in by Sunday so we can compile people's responses, pray through it all and figure out how to proceed from here!
Good morning! Here are the latest updates:
:. Resources for Dec. 1 - 15 (sorry they're late). These are resources for our collective devotional life. Journeying through Scripture together and with the church worldwide. For advent, check these out.
:. Community life and prayer - continue praying through the newspapers of our city!
:. Light of the World is coming! Invite your friends. Matt Adams will be returning with a Stuart McLean special.
:. TILT Dialogue - they are trickling in! If you could please fill them out by Sunday, December 9, that would be fantastic. Click on the link for more details. That way, we can compile the input for a town-hall meeting in January.
If you want a better link to invite people to the upcoming Light of the World, send them to:

Resources for this week - continued from last week's posting here.
This week's prayer posting is also here on the urban monks blog. Post anything we can pray for on this posting - in your own life, your friends, this city, this country and beyond.
Myrna Frost, a long-time and beloved member of Spring Garden, has written daily devotions for the season of Advent. They begin on Sunday, December 2. Check it out here. Here's what the Spring Garden site says about Advent and the devotionals:
The tradition of marking the seasons of the church year first began as the desire to celebrate every aspect of Christ’s life. The early Christian Church celebrated the birth of Christ in mid-winter to mark the coming of His Light into the world and subsequently established the period called “Advent” (Latin for Arrival) in order to prepare for the Christmas season. In writing these short Advent Devotionals, it is our desire that each day we may set aside a few moments to consider with intentionality, our role in creating community. We have endeavored to use simple language in the hope that these daily readings can be enjoyed by the whole family.Painting by Roger Hutchison
Each week will have a different focus:
Week One
December 2-December 8
Creating Community in our Church
Week Two
December 9-December 15
Creating Community at School or in the Workplace
Week Three
December 16-December 22
Creating Community in the Neighbourhood
Week Four
December 23-December 24
Creating Community in the Family
CBC's Metro Morning, hosted by Andy Barrie, is doing a week of morning shows on poverty in Toronto. Some interesting interviews this morning about the working poor and pay day loans. Metro Morning's website is here - read each clip, or go to the five day archive.

For our gathering on Sunday, we're having our approximately bi-monthly communion potluck where we receive and celebrate communion together over a meal. So, we'll be downstairs in the Multi-Purpose Room instead of up in the sanctuary. 6:30 pm per usual!
We don't assign food by name or anything like that, so if you are able to bring anything, please do. However, if you don't have time/money/whatever to prepare anything, don't worry about it! We always make extra and often those who need to take food home, we send some with them!!
If you haven't been at a communion potluck before, a little background...the early Christian church celebrated communion over an entire meal, rather than just as part of a worship gathering. So, that is what we are doing at TILT - framing a meal together through the celebration of communion, so that the entire meal is communion.
See you Sunday! Everyone's welcome.
Sorry for the late posting...
:. Check out this new prayer from Cheryl on the daily.
:. Listen to Gene's teaching on the teaching blog.
:. Participate in the resources for devotion on urban monks.
:. Keep praying with the prayer map.
:. Please participate in the TILT dialogue!
:. And invite your friends to Light of the World - it's a grand time!
The TILT community has been meeting weekly for two years. It has flown by! We’ve
journeyed through the Stations of the Cross, explored the mysteries of the Incarnation
and looked into the glory of God’s Kingdom. We’ve prayed for one another, our city
and our world. We’ve shared stories, struggle, joys and our art. We’ve spent a week at a Native Reserve, loving kids. But many questions persist surrounding this community. It’s time for an honest look at ourselves and to earnestly seek God’s will for us. It is our hope that this is the beginning of a conversation—between one another and God—about TILT. We are starting this conversation with a series of questions. It is our hope that we can hear everyone's voice in this - whether you've been to TILT once and never returned, or you've come every week for the past two years. The 'questionnaire' (for lack of a better word) can be found here. Fill it out and bring it to TILT, or scan it and send to tilt.toronto {at} gmail.com. If you'd like an interactive form in which you input the data and email it back, email tilt.toronto {at} gmail.com (this is preferable for collecting data too).
Scott's teaching from last night is posted on the teaching blog here. Of course, you can subscribe to the TILT Teaching podcast and listen to it there.
Virtually all of the photographs and images used during our worship gatherings are taken by people from the TILT community. We are always looking to use new photos. If you have any you would like to share, just email tilt.toronto {at} gmail.com. Another concept we are working on is integrating images from our every day lives. What do you see every day? How is that linked to your life, worshiping God and proclaiming Jesus? We'd love to come and take pictures. Just last Sunday, I was talking to Nick about following him as he windsurfs on Lake Ontario - capturing the power of the wind, just as we see the power of the Spirit moving in Acts.
November? It's already November? Anyhow, here's the latest from the TILT community. Ride the Rocket!
:. Greg's preaching is posted on the teaching blog.
:. Resources for meditation/devotion are on the urban monks blog.
:. The Psalm from Sunday's lectio is posted on the daily blog.
:. Community Life & Prayer is on the urban monks blog.
:. Have you seen the revamped prayer map? Check it out! Get on it!
:. Did you hear that Sarah P and family could use our help? Or need a car? Check it out.
Just a reminder that this Sunday is the first Sunday of the month, which means we will have our Caring and Sharing Offering. This means two things: (1) An additional offering where 100% of the money goes to people within our community who are in need. If you know of anyone who is in need, whether it be friends, family and the people living next door, please let us know! (2) We also bring basic grocery and personal care items to stock up the Spring Garden food cupboard, which supports people in the area who are in need of these things.
Greg will be preaching from Acts 11:1-24. Pete & Jan will be leading communion and Jer will lead us in prayer!
Things have been a little random on the blog the past couple of days...so here's one post where you can see a bunch of stuff (or just scroll down for more detailed enjoyment):
:. Sarah P and family continue to need our prayers, but also some practical assistance. More details here.
:. Rodway pointed out an interesting show on CBC Radio about suffering. Listen to it here.
:. Sunday night's teaching is on the teaching blog - the audio and images have been combined into one video. Watch it here.
:. The lyrics to the song Nick talked about on Sunday night are posted on the TILT art blog. Read them here.
:. Community life & prayer is posted on urban monks. There is a NEW prayer map. Check it out here!
Sarah P and her family are in need of some assistance around the house. Here's the plan...every Saturday a couple of people are needed to (1) help rake and (2) help carry junk up from the basement. People are need for November 10/24 and December 1/8/15. It'll take about 2-3 hours and it's a one-time thing only. Email either tilt.toronto {at} gmail.com or Sarah directly at sarah_parke {at} yahoo.ca. Continue to pray for the family as they care for Sarah's dad in this difficult time.
_______________________________________________________
Also!! Do you need or know anyone in need of a car? Sarah's family has a grey 2007 Ford Focus Sedan with only 1300kms. The lease is $325.01 a month, and it's allowed 25 000kms a year. Anybody who wants additional details can get in touch with Sarah (sarah_parke {at} yahoo.ca)
Note: not exact car shown!
Rodway was listening to CBC Radio last Sunday and stumbled upon the show "Tapestry". This particular Sunday featured a professor from Wycliffe College in Toronto discussing suffering. Listen to it on the daily.
Sunday night's teaching is posted on the teaching blog. If you weren't there, four of us read from Acts 10 while the images you see were on the screen. We've combined the two into a video for the web. Leave your thoughts! What images struck you? Where can we as TILT show grace where it isn't being shown?

Did you get a chance to read Jan D's story? Check it out. We'd love to have stories from everybody's life here...just email tilt.toronto {at} gmail.com...
'Tis the night to dress up, eat out and hit the lanes! Details are on the Vocation blog.
If you'd like to get to know your neighbours, why not invite them over for some pumpkin carvin'? All you need is a pumpkin ($1.99 at Loblaws), a serrated knife (you probably have one), a spoon, and your green bin. If you want to get fancy, print out some of these cutouts.

Good morning everyone! As we speak, our very own Laura A is running the Toronto Half Marathon (this pic is from the start of the race!). She is doing it to raise money for Elisa Linton, who is an important part of the Spring Garden family. Here's what Laura has to say about Elisa:
My friend, Elisa, as many of you know, has had a profound impact on my life. She was born with Sanfilippo Syndrome, which is a mucopolysaccharide disorder and falls within a broader group of genetic disorders known as the Lysosomal Storage Disease. MPS sufferers like Elisa are missing an essential enzyme that breaks down a complex body sugar called heparan sulfate. This sugar will slowly build up in the bones, the brain and other organs, stopping normal development.
While development is normal in the first three or four years, sufferers lose the ability to speak at around the age of 7. By the age of 10 they are confined to a wheelchair, and then bedridden by the age of 14. This decline will be accompanied by hyperactivity, sleep disorders, mental regression and dementia, and will finally lead to an early death. Elisa is 13 and has now lost her speech. This year, her regression has been quite noticeable. Her family courageously watches her fade, yet rejoices in the joy that she brings into their lives and everyone’s life who she meets.
Elisa's amazing family, the Lintons, began a Foundation to raise money to fund research projects so that children born with Sanfilippo one day might have hope of a longer life and treatment.
This year donations from sponsors can be made on-line towards your run with a credit card by logging onto the website www.alifeforelisa.org. Click on, “Donations” listed under “Other Links” on the left side of the home page. Then, click the icon “Donate Now”. Next, enter the donation amount, check the Fund Designation as being “Marathon Event” and under “Message” type in the runners name being sponsored. It’s very easy to follow from there!
Any donations from the run will go towards the Foundation. If you would like to find out more about Sanfilippo Syndrome or my friend, Elisa, you can visit http://www.alifeforelisa.org/.
Tony Campolo says, "It scares me that we have a generation of Christians who know what Jesus would do and yet will do the opposite". This is from a new documentary called Prince of Peace-God of War. Check it out here. The documentary looks at the Christians and their view of war...however, to me it poses the broader question of how culture influences Christianity...

Just a friendly reminder that every week people prepare delicious snacks (I mean, Colin Chapman's chocolate cheesecake brownies..COME ON!!!) and although we usually finish them by the end of the night, which is fantastic, there is also an intentional time of gathering together before 6:30 to catch up with people, see how the week was, see how we can continue praying for one another, etc. Lately, the sanctuary has been a very lonely place even past 6:30. If we desire to be a welcoming community, it's a little intimidating for people to walk into an empty sanctuary expecting a worship gathering at 6:30!
We confess as leadership we are often not ready to go on the dot of 6:30. We will endeavour to be 'ready to go' just after 6 pm as we have always intended to. Then it would be fantastic to gather and eat from 6:15 to 6:30!
Thoughts welcome by clicking on comments.
Yes, here it is...your faithful weekly updates:
:. Listen to Greg's teaching (or get the podcast).
:. Download the weekly resources for prayer and meditation. Or view them online!
:. Reflect on the confession liturgy from Sunday night.
:. Opportunities for prayer on the community prayer posting and its associated comments.
Check out the Vocation blog for more information about a potluck THIS Thursday, October 4thTOMORROW at Scott and Kate's house.

Hey Everyone,
Here you are in all your glory: http://tiltart.blogspot.com/2007/09/tilt-outtakes.html
This Sunday afternoon from 2 - 4 pm at Spring Garden, there will be a shower in celebration of Erin and Colin's upcoming wedding. Any and all women are invited to attend. I am not fluent in the happenings of showers for women only, so I have no idea what you are supposed to wear, what to bring or how to act. Perhaps, like yourself?
The VW is in honour of Erin's last name, just in case you were wondering. There was talk of a simultaneous men's only event during the afternoon, to which Gene would really like to be invited. Please post any further planning under the comments!
Also, see below for the small groups form link
As we have announced for a couple of weeks, we are joining in the whole Spring Garden community on a journey through Deuteronomy (and Acts too!), exploring what it means to be a community. This starts NEXT WEEK! It is our hope that everyone be in a small group, even if just for these next six weeks. If you aren't in a group, fill out this form (it's not linked because I can't get on the Spring Garden website right now, but check out springgardenchurch.ca and it should be there. It is now linked - here again), or email me at tilt.toronto@gmail.com.
I'm running out of town here, but key posts are up:

The teaching from tonight is posted on the TILT teaching blog here. It is, of course, the video made up of much of the TILT community! Check it out here. Well, I may as well put it right here too:
The Scripture reading/teaching/preaching/all-in-one for this week is coming together. Thank you everyone for sticking around afterwards to do some fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants filming.
Other than that, this Sunday should prove to be not unlike any other Sunday at TILT - always different!
Good morning, one and all!! This is your latest goin' on web-update post (in contrast to the newly formed 'bulletin post' for the latest happenings within the TILT and at the TILT worship gathering). Now that you are confused, here's the usual:
:. Gene's teaching on Acts 6:1-7 is up. Get the podcast if you dare.
:. Community Life & Prayer is posted - post your prayers here!
:. The Thomas Merton prayer from Sunday night.
:. And of course, weekly resources for meditation, prayer, praise and communing with God and one another.
Trying a new post here just to keep people in the loop about Sunday gathering happenings...This graphic will always be associated with it!
:. Please keep filling in the Toronto poster board prayer map! There should be a marker and pins by the map at all times. Simply pin-point a place where you are throughout the week, mark your name and how we can pray for you/that place/the people there.
:. Gene will be preaching on Acts 6:1-12:
1 But as the believers rapidly multiplied, there were rumblings of discontent. The Greek-speaking believers complained about the Hebrew-speaking believers, saying that their widows were being discriminated against in the daily distribution of food.
2 So the Twelve called a meeting of all the believers. They said, “We apostles should spend our time teaching the word of God, not running a food program. 3 And so, brothers, select seven men who are well respected and are full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will give them this responsibility. 4 Then we apostles can spend our time in prayer and teaching the word.”
5 Everyone liked this idea, and they chose the following: Stephen (a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit), Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas of Antioch (an earlier convert to the Jewish faith). 6 These seven were presented to the apostles, who prayed for them as they laid their hands on them.
7 So God’s message continued to spread. The number of believers greatly increased in Jerusalem, and many of the Jewish priests were converted, too.
On Sunday, September 23 at TILT we’ll be covering Acts 7, which is when Stephen addresses the council. We thought it would be fun to do a collaborative scripture reading and hence this posting. Here’s the idea – to have as many people as possible reading various parts of the scripture and then cut it together into a video scripture reading. If you’ve ever seen the music video for Michael Jackson’s Black or White, you’ll sort of know what I’m talking about (near the end when all the different people are lip syncing and it just keeps cycling through people). Watch the video here. The part I'm talking about is in the last minute of the video.
I hope to be able to ‘film’ this on this Sunday night after TILT and would only need a few minutes of people’s time. It will just be a head and shoulders shot with you reading the Scripture that I tell you to read!
If you are interested and can let me know ahead of time, that would be great because I can then coordinate who will be reading what. So, please email me at scottgmoore@mac.com and let me know either way.
Thanks,
Scott M
Check out the Vocation Blog for info on an upcoming meeting.
If you have no idea what Vocation is, perhaps this wordy sentence can help (or not?!):
Vocation is an authentic community (of those in post-secondary education and early careers) journeying together to solidify our primary calling to God and discover our secondary calling, the adventures God has in store for us, corporately and individually. Vocation's core values are community, authenticity, mobilization and creativity and we seek to live these out in everything we do.

On Sunday night, we will be sharing about the week at Moose Deer, with lots of pics of course :)
Sorry for the lack of updates on the last two nights - time was limited and energy virtually nil for web updates on dial-up...we are now back in Toronto, and all of us are definitely changed by this experience. God has broken our hearts not only for the people of Moose Deer Point but also for all of the lost - as Jesus wept for Jerusalem when he journeyed to the cross, we too, weep. But we are thankful for the hope in Jesus' Resurrection!
Thursday and Friday were both challenging days. By Friday, I think we were seeing what was "normal" behaviour on the reserve - meaning the kids were no longer as respectful, etc. In one-on-one situations, these kids are all precious, but as a larger group, destructive behaviour brews--learned patterns and cycles from their community relationships. It was challenging! On Friday, one of the tougher kids decided to come for the day - as Greg had been praying, this was but a glimpse of the true spiritual warfare that is happening every day in this place. This one addition to the group completely changed the dynamics and showed us just how dependent upon God we are, and how much God is fighting for all those beautiful moments we had throughout the week.
Thursday night baseball was fun, and pretty low-key, which was probably a good thing. Congrats to Barb on her first softball game and her stellar play from behind home plate! A bunch of the older youth showed up and we were able to interact a bit with them, although perhaps not as much as desired (they ended up at one table and us at another eating hot dogs after the game...).
We had a very intense time last night as we shared with each other from the week and spent the bulk of our time in prayer. Tears were flowing in abundance! We do not want this to be a one week relationship, but we also have to entrust these people to God because it is only He who can do a good work there. There are also Christians on the reserve who need prayer and encouragement, and of course the DayStar ministry as well, under whose umbrella we were operating.
We look forward to sharing more in person! You can few some of the initial photos in this photo album. It includes the "passport" labels of where we travelled each day!
Another good day at Moose Deer!! Staying with mostly the same strategies as yesterday and continuing to recognize it is God alone who gets us through this, it was great. The relationships you can form with kids in three days just blows my mind. We have had opportunities for great conversation, and especially building into kids who clearly have been told they are not of much value to their world. Today we were in a "far country" for the story of the Prodigal Son. We thought we were in trouble this morning when we couldn't locate the puppets, but they were found and all was well in the world :). Tonight we are going into the reserve for the church service there which should be interesting - not sure if how 'populated' it will be, but that is of no consequence anyhow! Tomorrow night we'll be playing softball with everyone! (I think half of our team has never played so it should be interesting...)
Thank you for your prayers! I would upload pics but am on long distance dial-up here so it's expensive AND slow!
Sorry we missed yesterday’s update. We were hosted by the Simmons family from Spring Garden for an incredible meal at their cottage – two very different worlds in one day!
On Sunday night, we headed to Moose Deer to hand out flyers (yes, you hand out flyers for a weeklong camp the night before it starts). We were able to meet many children and their parents and were all excited, yet quite nervous for the next day.
Monday was an incredibly intense day – having no idea what to expect and no experience at running a camp! We have about 25-30 children aged 4 to 15 – they are all amazing in their own ways and are already teaching us so much. Yes, there may be behavioural problems at times, but more clear are the multitude of things we can learn from our time with them. Our day starts with “boarding” our plane and starting the weeklong journey. The puppet shows have been a hit, telling the Bible stories and “Big Bible Bill” delivers a rip-roaring message in about 3.5 minutes. The rest of the time is filled with snacks (very important), sports, crafts and ‘bible time’ (which varies depending on age from playing in the park to a chillin’ conversation). Day one was chaos!! By about 1 pm, we were exhausted and I think most of us were feeling that the day was less than successful. However, Shirley from DayStar reassured us that it had been a good day and God was already clearly at work. The evening was a great time of refreshment at the Simmons home – thank you thank you thank you!
Tuesday was amazing! We did some revamping in terms of organizing groups and leaders and it went swell. I personally (Scott) had the pleasure of hanging out with “da boys” which was encouraging and we had some great discussion. Greg and Michelle W lead the ‘middle’ group who enjoy nothing more than climbing all over them. The young ‘uns are with Barb, Lindzie and Milan. Jen-Mai led the elder girls today and said they were fantastic. Michelle D tends the special needs kids with great compassion and care. The rest of the team leads the various activities with vigour (Becki, Mel, Bill). A highlight was swimming in the afternoon with all the kids. The reserve is split along two forks and so the group split into two to swim with the kids from each “split”. It was a great time, and a great time of connecting.
We were greatly encouraged after today and incredibly grateful for God’s providence in so many ways. To see the ‘difficult’ kids be less difficult today was a miracle – to know valuing, caring and loving these kids makes a tangible difference is a simple yet profound expression of the power of God’s love.
Well, tonight we might actually get to bed on time for a good sleep. Prayer: another day like today ☺, continued energy and compassion for the leaders, for the reserve itself especially – for the spiritual warfare that is evident here, for the hurting kids and families…
We leave for Moose Deer tomorrow!

TILT seeks to serve our city by fostering a growing, authentic, diverse community that will holistically encounter the mystery and healing of God together through worship and mission.
TILT is part of the wider Spring Garden Church community and we met here.
