Meet the Early Adopters!

It takes time to consider and embrace new ideas and directions.

On May 31st, we at Sunnyside voted in favour of establishing a Sunnyside Downtown congregation, with plans to gather a launch team of 60-80 people by mid-fall 2009 and have our first official worship service downtown on Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010.

I’d like to introduce you to 18 ‘early adopters’ who have already discerned that Sunnyside Downtown is where God is taking them.

  • Andrea H.
  • Andrea M.
  • Chris C.
  • Debbie B.
  • Elizabeth P.
  • Ellen K.
  • Greg J.
  • Josh K.
  • Joy K.
  • Karen C.
  • Kerry K.
  • Kirsten P.
  • Kyle B.
  • Louise B.
  • Lynn M.
  • Matthew M.
  • Paul K.
  • Tara K.

If you are not on this list, but would like to be, please let me know.

You will hear a number of stories, written (Sunnyside Up!) and spoken (Sept. 27 services), explaining how some of these people made the decision to go downtown. Feel free to talk to them directly. There are 22 others, not ready to ‘go public’, who have expressed significant to tentative interest in the downtown site.

Families, would you consider talking with a few other families (especially your closer friends) about taking the risk to go together downtown? Keep in mind that there will Sunday School and nursery services offered at Sunnyside Downtown as they are at Sunnyside Grosvenor.

We have only just begun! I am amazed at your positive interest and response. You are welcome to jump in at this point in the journey. If you want to talk further, please give me a shout at kronberg@sympatico.ca or call 613-730-9411. It would be good to see at least 40 names on this list by our first Launch Team meeting, Sept. 27 at 12:45pm (over lunch) in the church basement.
