Going the Extra Mile
Going the Extra Mile is our annual fundraiser for our mission to Rachel’s Home. Rachel’s Home is an orphanage and community school for the child victims of Lesotho’s ongoing HIV/AIDS crisis. Rachel’s Home is more than just a shelter. It’s a loving Christian home and it’s also a school. Located on the outskirts of Maputsoe, Lesotho, it has offered a safe haven and a place to grow, for more than two decades … and Central has been there, supporting it’s efforts almost from the very beginning.
We have sent teams to Rachel’s Home twice. Through your generosity, we fund the salaries of the teachers as well as providing funding for nutritious meals, vitamin supplements and clothing. We also fund secondary and post secondary education, for the children of Rachel’s Home, where possible.
All of this is made possible through your contributions.
So, how can you help?
Well, you can participate in our Going the Extra Mile fundraiser. Get a pledge form. Commit to run, walk or ride 5km sometime between October 12 and November 17 and find sponsors for your run. Can’t run? No problem. Sponsor one of our participants. Every “penny” raised goes directly to supporting our mission in Lesotho. There is no overhead. Every single penny.
So please, get involved. Run, walk, ride … or, and this is the most important one, sponsor.

Explore life, faith and meaning together.
Alpha is a multi-week course that creates a space, online or in person, where people come and discuss life’s big questions in a friendly, open and informal environment.

What is Alpha?
We believe that everyone should have the chance to explore faith, ask questions, and share their point of view.
Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation.
Alpha is run all around the globe, and everyone’s welcome. It runs online, in cafés, churches, universities, homes—you name it. No two Alphas look the same, but generally they have three key things in common: connection, content, and conversation.

What does an Alpha Session look like?

Connection
At each 2-2.5 hour session, there is a time of connection over refreshments and/or drinks, where possible.

Content
The time of connection is followed by a talk on a subject central to the Christian faith. They explore the big issues of life and faith and unpack the basics of Christian belief, addressing questions like “Who is Jesus?”, “Why and how do I pray?” and “How does God guide us?”

Conversation
After the talk, participants divide into pre-arranged small groups, in which they remain for the duration of the Alpha course. The groups provide participants with opportunity to discuss the talk in an environment where each person is free to ask or say whatever they wish.

Elijah - Living Securely in an Insecure World
2025-11-14 10:00 - 11:00
Elijah: Living Securely in an Insecure World
Nearly every day we encounter something in the news we’d rather forget. As 1 and 2 Kings proves, Elijah’s world was no less distressing. In these 8 studies on Elijah’s life written by Douglas Connelly, we’ll be encouraged to look beyond the insecurity of the world to our sovereign God who reigns forever.

Join us this fall for 8 sessions of study taking a close look at Elijah and what we can learn about our Lord from his life and example. There are no books to buy, just bring your own Bible if you have one.

For more information or to register your interest, contact Carolyn at womensbiblestudy@cpcmail.ca or visit in the hall after church.
