Star of Bethlehem Party
Just what was the Star of Bethlehem? Recent astronomical reconstruction of the ancient night sky suggests the Star may have involved Saturn and the Pleiades. Come and see Saturn and other starry messengers through telescopes, learn of their importance, and observe projected ancient and recent sky stories under our planetarium.
There will be a presentation by Stephen Jeans (Earth and Space Sciences, Ambrose), followed by opportunities (weather permitting) to view Saturn and other celestial objects through telescopes hosted by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. This year will also feature a planetarium for indoor viewing!
Cost: Free!
Parking is free! This event is kid-friendly. Dress for the weather!

Much of what we view today as universally good — from basic human freedoms, hospitals, schools, orphanages, and charities — has been a direct result of Jesus' followers practically and faithfully living out His teachings in real time. But let's be honest, the church (whether we're talking about an institution or the people within) over the last 2000 years hasn't always had the best reputation, has it?
Knowing how to navigate the highs and lows of the church in history can be complicated, but it is far from impossible! Join us January 30 & 31 for our Apologetics Canada Conference in Burnaby, BC, as we seek to provide satisfying answers to curious questions and present a compelling case for the impact of the church in history — whether that's in the first or the twenty-first century.

This Year’s Theme is “My Love For You”
Our 2026 conference will be centered around experiencing Jesus’ manifest love for us, based on the Apostle John’s life-changing vision of Jesus in Revelation 1. John writes, in the introduction to that vision:
To him who loves us and has set us free from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
from Revelation 1:5–6
Imagine the most gentle and loving person in your life—just by walking into a room they put a smile on your face and fill you with peace. Notice that it’s their presence that shifts something inside you, even before they say a word.
It was the same for John in Revelation 1. Just by seeing Jesus, John immediately experienced the whole culture and ethos of the One who sits on the throne. He felt Jesus’ presence as He drew near.
Having had a similar experience, Paul writes to the church in Corinth:
For the love of Christ compels us, since we have reached th…
