About This Series

Extraordinary Nobodies

June 2023 - August 2023

This summer, we bridge the distant ‘back then’ with the not-so-sacred ‘now’ through a study of some of the Bible’s bit players – seemingly insignificant men and women who really aren’t so different from us.

These obscure characters confront, comfort, and inspire.

In-person Saturdays at  7 pm and Sundays at 10 am. Online and on-demand @spac.ca and YouTube – June 24/25 – August 19/20, 2023

Lydia is one of several ‘nobodies’ who encounter Jesus in Acts 16. Their stories remind us that the gospel of Jesus brings people together who otherwise would never be brought together.

The infrastructure within many societies has not been good at supporting or empowering women. When change happens, it’s often the result of women's hard work and courage to make things right.
