Services
“Where can I go to meet with God?”
(Psalm 42:2).
Over 1000 people find weekly that Waterloo MB Church is a place where everyone, regardless of where they are in their spiritual journey, can meet with God. Our worship services are casual, inviting and relevant to where people are in their lives.
The MUSIC is predominantly contemporary but the best of classical and traditional hymns are sung regularly – with passion! We value worshipping God in a variety of styles.
Short DRAMAS that portray the realities of our spiritual journey through life are used regularly. DANCE, VIDEO, and MEDIA are a part of our services and aid us in our worship of God.
MESSAGES are Bible-based and apply the timeless truths of scripture with relevance in ways that challenge, encourage growth, renews hope, and restores faith.
Our corporate Sunday worship service is a key part in our establishing the priority of worshipping God in the whole of life. We hope you will come join us!
Sunday Services are at 9:00 and 10:45 am.

 "What this city needs is...", "I can't believe...", "If I were you, I would..."
Our society is ripe with gripers, complainers and arm chair quarterbacks. It is easy to scrutinize and talk about all the problems in the world, but what we really need is less talk and more action - people who would be willing to do something about it!!
In the Bible, the Old Testament talks about such a man. His name was Nehemiah. When he became aware of a desperate situation, he was driven to tears, driven to his knees in prayer and then driven to take action! He left his well paying, prestigious job and followed what God wanted him to do - lead the Jewish people in repairing and restoring the walls around the city of Jerusalem. But we have to wonder: was it really only about a construction project, or did God have something more in mind for Nehemiah and His people?
Come prepared to be surprised by what God may have in store for you, for His church and for our cities.

A Room with a View
What's your perspective of the cross this Easter Season?
March is a busy time in our Canadian society. The weather is warming, the clocks turn ahead an hour and the chocolate eggs and bunnies have made their annual appearance in malls and grocery stores. Easter has arrived early this year and churches in our communities prepare to mark this most holy remembrance in the Christian calendar.
So, what is our perspective of the Cross of Jesus this Easter Season, 2008? Join us for this three part series, "A Room with a View", as we explore some of the biblical texts that journey with Jesus and those around him just before his crucifixion, at his death and after his resurrection. How did those who were with Jesus view his life and death then? How do we view it today? What is our perspective of Easter in "A Room with a View"?

CommonUnity
Everyone wants to be "happy", and it seems that in our culture we make chasing this ideal of happiness our life long pursuit. We spend money, collect things, search for newer, more exhilarating experiences but if happiness is all about circumstances, what happens when the new cars rust, the cruise ends, loved ones die, our health deteriorates, our money is stolen and the party ends? Often happiness flees and despair sets in.
In contrast to happiness is joy. It runs stronger and deeper in our lives - and as Christ followers, joy comes from the assurance that God is at work in our lives. The book of Philippians in the Bible is the Apostle Paul's Joy Letter to the church at Philippi.
Join us in this series as we explore together how Paul could be joyful and content no matter what the circumstances in his life, and what we can learn and glean from his letter today as individuals and in the broader church community.

Journey with Jesus
a 7-week Sunday Morning Adventure!
As you read the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, have you ever tried to “jump” into the story to really seek to understand and experience all that is going on? How does Jesus’ life, teaching and interactions with others impact you as you journey through your life? We believe that when we look at scripture in this way, it helps us to recognize that Jesus is in our midst even now, breaking down barriers, offering freedom in the place of oppression so that we may understand the fullness of his mission.
Join us during our "Journey with Jesus" series as we follow Jesus into some of his interactions with people described through the gospels, are invited into His mission and experience the kingdom of God coming near to us.

The Altered Call
September 9 - October 14
Change. Why is it that we seem so adverse to change? In the Bible, we see Jesus sending his followers into the world with a certain set of instructions - in Luke 10, and then the instructions are tweaked a little bit in Luke 22. Why? Things have changed. The culture has changed in the three years Jesus ministered, and some adjustments needed to be made.
The winds of change continue for the Church as we head into the third millennium. There is a growing awareness that we can't keep doing the same old things and expect the results to be different. If we are going to continue to be "salt and light" to the world as Jesus called us, the Church will have to do something different, we have to be something different! Join us in this series as we study scripture and our culture to discern how we, as Christ followers, can continue to make a significant and sustainable difference in our neighbourhoods, our cities and our world.

Staying the Course...
Keeping the Faith
In the New Testament of the Bible, there are a series of letters written by the Apostle Paul to churches and individuals. Second Timothy is a tender letter written by Paul, now imprisoned for his faith and near death, to one of his most devoted followers - Timothy. It is a letter of encouragement and support to a young follower of Jesus to stay the course even in the midst of opposition. Paul reminds Timothy of all that he has come to know as truth, and gently and passionately implores him to keep the faith in his teaching, preaching and living. It was a timely letter to Timothy in his context and it continues to challenge and encourage Jesus' followers in our faith today. Join us as we open this letter and explore the premise for "Staying the Course and Keeping the Faith" in our lives today.

Great Expectations |

 Perhaps you have found yourself in a circumstance where you were expecting a certain outcome and were surprised to get something completely different than you anticipated. Maybe it was a disappointing outcome or maybe a pleasant surprise-either way, it was different than you had conjured up in your mind beforehand.
