Music with Frank Ezinga
2026-02-11 20:00 - 21:30 (America/Toronto) | Online Webinar
The course format will be a lecture (3/4) followed by a class discussion (1/4). A PDF handout will be provided in advance. I will use PowerPoint and supporting media, such as images or video fragments.

The course is helpful for any church member, as knowledge of music is not required. The course provides a framework for music within the church and Christian life. The course will not address specific musical instruments, accompaniment, requirements for accompanists, worship songs, etc., but it will provide a context that participants can apply to these topics. Music discussions often focus on the “what” and “how” without addressing the “why.” The course will unpack the “why” as a context for the “what” and “how.” The topics will provide a foundation for a church music discussion, where the practical outcome for a particular denomination or even a local congregation may differ.

Intergenerational Church and Confronting Ageism
2026-02-14 09:30 - 12:00
Join the ElderCare Network for a webinar discussing how churches can bridge generational divides and challenge ageism in Canadian congregational life. The landscape of what has been happening in many churches will be discussed. Moreover, we will take a look at a model of churches that are intergenerationally integrated, and explore what the impact of ageism has on a lot of churches. There will be ample time for discussion. Come and discover practical ways to strengthen intergenerational relationships and affirm the dignity and spiritual vitality of older adults.
