DAY EVENTS
Harvest On-Farm Dinner: Sunday October 1, 2023
Fall is the perfect time to celebrate the abundance of the earth.

You might even get to take a chicken selfie!
After a walking farm tour, we will gather around a harvest table to enjoy the best flavours of the season. A leisurely, four-course plated meal prepared by Chef Matthew is the perfect prelude to Thanksgiving. Be sure to dress for the weather, including sturdy footwear.

Where have all the people gone?
We all know that church attendance is in decline across North America. Each week we look at emptier pews and wonder, “Where is everyone?” Trevor's deep appreciation for the power of storytelling will help you delve into the ‘lost’ stories from the Gospel according to Luke in the New Testament. Explore who is missing from your community, where they are now, and how your faith community might find ways to connect with them.

Rev. Trevor Brisbin lives in the heart of Toronto Canada with his partner of 22 years, and their 3 children. Trevor is the lead minister of Humber Valley United Church after transitioning from a different denomination, convinced Christianity requires equality for all sexual orientations and gender expressions. Trevor’s drive to influence hope and flourishing in the world expands well beyond the church walls. Believing in the transformational power of stories, Trevor has production credits on two films: Saint Judy (a true story about an LA immigration attorney who fights for the rights of women refugees), and Broken Courage (a documentary about a former child soldier struggling to find healing with the help of a transwoman). Trevor holds a doctorate from Claremont School of Theology and a master’s degree from Tyndale Seminary. When looking to connect with Trevor, you’re likely to find him at the local hockey rink where he volunteers for youth hockey development or at the dog park, with the family bernadoodle, Millie.
