March is here and we have so much to look forward to as we anticipate the beginning of Spring! Please scroll down for a preview of events happening during the month of March, 2023.

Wonderfully Made Dress Drive 

We are Collecting Dresses until March 19 (Mon-Fri 9am - 5pm; Sundays 9am - 12 pm), Lobby or Church Office
'Wonderfully Made' Dress Drive is part of an initiative in collaboration with our Young Adults Ministry, where we are collecting dresses of all sizes, jewelry, and accessories that will be gifted to young women in our community to help them prepare for prom, weddings, or other special occasions. Do you have some gently used special-occasion dresses, accessories, or costume jewelry you won't wear again? Would you like to be a part of helping young women? Then please consider helping with this opportunity! (The dress/accessories giveaway for young women will take place on Sat. Apr 1). Donations can be left with office staff during the week, or on Sundays with Ruby Isaac, Marilyn Spagnolo, Theresa Catania, or Solange Werners. For further inquiries, email church@rexdalealliance.ca.

Quiz-Meet

Saturday, March 4, 9:30 am - 6:30 pm, Quinte Alliance Church, Belleville 
The RAC quizzing team will have their third quiz-meet on March 4 in Belleville. Please pray for safe travel, for great connections with the wider quizzing community and most importantly, for the lives of the quizzers and leaders to be impacted by what they are learning about God and the early church. As we learn we have been tracking on a map where and how the Word of God spread and how the early church grew. It has been inspiring to see the obedience and courage of the first disciples and believers. Keep an eye out for our fundraising efforts later in March!

The Praxis

Sundays, March 5, 12, 19 & 26, 8:15 am, Fireside Chapel
All are welcome to join us at The Praxis happening on Sunday mornings throughout the month!

Men's Dinner & Fellowship

Please join us for our monthly RexMen dinner. All men are welcome to take part in the fun, food and fellowship. We will be hearing a special message from Maurice Gillard who is a home grown product of Rexdale Alliance Church. He attended with his parents for about fifteen years, and participated in the children's and youth programs, eventually serving as a youth leader until he left for Bible College in Regina. After graduating he served in several churches, and he recently retired from Westburne Alliance Church in St. Catharines, ON. He is currently serving in a leadership role at Hockey Outreach, Ontario. It is a great pleasure to welcome him home at the Rexmen meeting. Please register for this event, here.

Women's Morning Bible Study

Weekly, Starts Thursday, March 9, 9:45 am, RAC Youth Centre
We are beginning a new women’s Bible study on "Live No Lies" by John Mark Comer. The cost is $25 for a book. “Live No Lies is a brilliant, deep, scriptural, and will equip you to face the enemy and fight.”―Jennie Allen. Ancient apprentices of Jesus developed a paradigm for this war; they spoke of the three enemies of the soul: the devil, the flesh, and the world. John Mark Comer combines cultural analysis with spiritual formation. He identifies the role lies play in our spiritual deformation and lays out a strategic plan to overcome them. Register: cguinness@rexdalealliance.ca.

He has experience and the insight from thousands of encounters with men in their habitat and church community. Men, this is a timely topic.
