Seeking God and Adapting
One of the themes this past year of 2021 has been “agility,” adapting to changes and unknowns. It seemed that 2020 was difficult because there were many questions about the pandemic. This past year, it seemed more unexpected issues came up, like the COVID variants, heat dome, wildfires, atmospheric rivers and floods. Just hearing about these extreme conditions and issues raises anxiety, whether they directly affect us or not. read moreCategories: Elder Submission -

Together Again!
Sunday October 3, 2021 marks an incredible milestone for Resonance Church. Not only was it our first in-person worship service since the pandemic lockdown of 2020, but this service also marks our first meeting at our new church location at Lansdowne Mall! It was an incredible sensation to greet real people and welcome them to church once again. Seeing people’s faces, bumping elbows in greeting, marveling at how much taller all the children have grown, and sharing in the joy of gathering in the name of Jesus Christ filled my spiritual fuel tank to its maximum capacity! I didn’t realize how much I had missed this aspect of our weekly church service during our pandemic suspension of live services. read moreCategories: Elder Submission -
A New Beginning for Our Res Family
Since the launch of Resonance Church with our first public service on Easter Sunday 2007, we've seen how the Lord has provided, guided and blessed our church. After an unexpected 18-month pause of in-person worship services, due to the global pandemic, we are now preparing for in-person gatherings again. Not only are we working on ensuring that government health guidelines are followed for the safety of the Resonance community, but we are also using a new facility for Sunday Worship. read moreCategories: Elder Submission -
Post-Quarantine Church: What I Learned during the Pandemic that I Can Apply in My Life
Despite significant changes to our lives during the pandemic, our spiritual journey did not stop during the COVID-19 crisis. Even though there were challenges, we persevered with the help of God. We saw God working in our lives. We learned. From my own journey through the pandemic, God taught me lessons and experiences that I am grateful for. God helped me reflect and realize who He is. He revealed to me the importance of human relationships and how we are designed to relate to one another. He brought focus in my life on what is important. read moreCategories: Elder Submission -

Think About Such Things
Watching the news nowadays can be so disheartening. Daily charts showing the pandemic's toll. Yet another gang shooting. Political conflicts and threats of escalation. Systemic patterns of discrimination. Ignorant, prejudiced "Karens" in our grocery stores. And the list goes on. And then we remember that as God's people, we have been called out of darkness into God's wonderful light. Called to live our lives here on earth different. Holy. Separate. As "sojourners and exiles." But what makes holy people holy? read more
