Forge Canada invites you to join the journey of becoming Backyard Pilgrims this February as we enter into the Lenten season. Starting the week of February 19 (Tuesday or Thursday), we will be running two book study groups that will be walking through the book, Backyard Pilgrim, by Matt Canlis. The groups will be led by Deb Judas and Bob Baumann, who are both pastors and members of the Forge Canada team. Groups will meet once a week, over the course of 6 weeks to discuss what they are learning and how they are seeing God at work in their lives and in their neighbourhood.

Being part of one of these groups will give you an opportunity to go on this pilgrimage for yourself, while also seeing if this is something that you might want to take your church through at a later date. Each day there is a reflection (the Bible path) and a time to get out into your community (to walk the parish path). It will give you new lenses in which to see both the scripture passages as well as the people and places in your neighbourhood.

For more information on the book or the Godspeed video, visit their website, or take some time to watch an interview that Cam did with Matt in 2021.
