Book time to meet with me

Thank you for checking out growth ideas. My name is Sharon Ballantyne (she/her). I have been serving in the role of growth animator for Atlantic Canada since November 1, 2023. I am part of the national growth department, regionally deployed to serve UCC-East. We have six growth animators across the country. I would love to set up a zoom chat, have a phone call or correspond by email to learn more about the life and work of your community of faith. Whether you are in a place of challenge and uncertainty or thriving and flourishing, or anywhere in-between. Let’s connect.

We might chat about how you are strengthening invitation, what it means for you to be deep, bold and daring, how you are renewing, creating and inviting. How are you getting to know your neighbours? Maybe you want to request a neighbourhood profile.  Where are you noticing God at work? What new things are you exploring? How are you experiencing hope? Share your story and ideas. Perhaps you need some prayer time, or are looking for some resources. Growth has so many forms as we all strive to love one another, take care of creation and be transformed by God’s love.

Dear God,
Put us where we need to be.
Show us what we need to do.
Amen.
