Community Events

This December, join churches across Barrie as we celebrate the 2nd Annual Christian Heritage Month. It’s a special opportunity to publicly honor the Christian faith and its lasting influence on our community.

Last year’s collaboration among local churches made an incredible impact across the city. Through radio ads, lawn signs, and church outreach, the message of Christ’s love and hope was visible throughout Barrie.

There are five ways that you can get involved:

– Attend Proclamation and Flag Raising at City Hall on December 8 at 1pm
– Pickup a Lawn Sign from a supporting church below or at 128 St. Vincent St. on December, 1 from 2pm to 7pm (Limit of one sign per pickup). Signs will be available for pickup at Flag Raising event as well. One side says, Christmas is about Christ and the other side says Christian Heritage Month.
– Promote this event by accessing our promotional content through link above.

About the Movement:

On November 20, 2019 history was made when Brampton City Council voted unanimously in favour of declaring the month of December, each year, to be “Christian Heritage Month”. Christian Heritage Month is made possible through the partnership of individual churches within each city of Canada.

The Christian Heritage Month Initiative is a dynamic, multi-denominational movement dedicated to celebrating the vibrant cultural, social, and artistic contributions of Canada’s Christian community.

The mission is to have December declared as Christian Heritage Month, recognizing and celebrating the values of love, service, and compassion that define the Christian community.

Together, Let’s Make Christ Known

Let’s unite our efforts once again to celebrate faith, bless our community, and shine His light over Barrie this December.

Our Town is a play about everyday life in the small town of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, at the turn of the 20th century. Through the stories of ordinary people, it highlights the beauty of simple moments and the fleeting nature of life. The play ultimately invites audiences to reflect on the preciousness of daily living.

Star So Bright is a presentation of word and song about a woman who is called by God to go to Bethlehem when woman did not journey on their own. With fear and uncertainty she does as she is asked and discovers not only a miracle but her purpose in life. The story is read by woman and the music is provided by Star So Bright. For more information watch this short trailer.
