After Hours Worship Facilitated by:
Bread We Break Bread we Break started in 2012 as a ministry of The Meeting Place in Winnipeg, Manitoba. They offer bi-monthly worship nights, and though people of all ages are welcome to join their events, Bread we Break events are geared towards the young adult community, loosely defined as people ages 18-30.
They have grown to connect 100+ churches, regularly represented by over 1000 young adults from all corners of Winnipeg and across Manitoba, and are now hoping to see this unity begin in Vancouver as they plant in a new location. When you come to a Bread we Break event, you can expect a vibrant atmosphere, a warm Manitoba welcome, and people excited to connect deeply and get involved. |
