Good Morning Friends and Church Family,
I received the following correspondence this morning from our Bible College, Master’s College and Seminary (MCS). I ask that you would be in prayer for this organization, Staff and Students. This is the institution that trains and equips leaders for pastoral ministry across our fellowship.Future generations of pastor of North Shore Church will likely be trained here.

In addition to praying, you can donate to MCS and receive a charitable tax receipt to help cover some of this uncertainty. You can donate on our website by clicking on the button below, or you can send an e-transfer to “giving@thenorthshore.church” with the memo “MCS”. Cash and cheques are accepted in-person on Sunday.

Thank you for reading along and praying for a positive outcome.

Blessings,

Pastor Gary Adduono

Dear MCS Family,

I am writing to share an important development affecting students at Master’s College and Seminary, and to invite you to stand with them in prayer.

On October 6th, the Ontario government announced a pause on Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) funding to private post-secondary institutions, following concerns arising at certain private career colleges. We support the government’s responsibility to protect the integrity of student assistance. However, MCS is not a private career college or part of the sector under investigation. We are an accredited Christian post-secondary institution established under our own provincial legislation, yet our students have been affected by the broader pause.

Approximately 45 of our students are affected, representing an estimated $150,000 in tuition funding this fall alone. If the pause continues, we anticipate a comparable shortfall in the winter semester, with further impacts in the spring. Some students also rely on this assistance for living expenses.

Behind those numbers are people preparing to serve as pastors and Christian leaders, the next generation of ministry workers for our churches and fellowship. We are committed to caring for them by absorbing the current tuition shortfall, rather than passing this unexpected burden on to them, but this is not a sustainable solution.

This challenge comes during an encouraging season of growth. Through our partnership with Horizon College and Seminary, combined enrolment has grown 22% over last fall, and our church hub network continues to expand.

We do not want this disruption to interrupt the preparation of future Christian leaders. We are working with other affected Christian institutions and engaging constructively toward a resolution, but with no clear timeline, we must also consider more enduring and dependable ways to make Christian higher education affordable.

For now, would you pray with us?

Pray for the students facing uncertainty, for wisdom as we discern our next steps, and for a constructive resolution.

We will share more as our response takes shape.

Our mission remains unchanged: preparing Spirit-empowered leaders with the church, for the church.

Thank you for standing with our students.

With gratitude,

Jeromey Martini, PhD
President, Master’s College & Seminary

Wealth Redefined | Trust the Provider. Live Generously.
Wealth Redefined: Learning to Trust the Provider Our generosity isn't determined by how much we have, but by how deeply we trust the One who provides. When you hear the word wealth, what comes to mind? For most of us, it's probably money. Savings, investments, property, or simply having enough in the bank to feel comfortable. We tend to measure wealth by what we have accumulated, what we can afford, or how financially secure we feel. And while there's nothing wrong with responsible financial planning, I've been thinking about how easily our understanding of wealth can become connected to our sense of security. After all, it's easier to feel generous when there's plenty left over. It's a little more challenging when the bills are piling up, the unexpected expenses keep coming, and we're wondering how everything will work out. But what if generosity was never really about how much we have? What if it's about how much we trust God? Generosity Begins Somewhere Deeper In 2 Corinthians 8, Paul tells us about an extraordinary group of believers in Macedonia. These Christians were experiencing severe trials and extreme poverty. They were not wealthy people looking for somewhere to invest their excess resources. They were struggling. And yet, Paul describes their response as one of overflowing joy and rich generosity. It's a remarkable combination: poverty, hardship, joy, and generosity. How does that happen? Paul gives us the answer in 2 Corinthians 8:5: "They gave themselves first of all to the Lord." That's where generosity begins. Before they gave anything financially, they had already surrendered their lives to Jesus. They understood that everything they had ultimately belonged to Him. Their generosity wasn't the result of their circumstances. It was the result of God's grace working in their hearts. I think that's an important lesson for all of us. We sometimes imagine that we'll become more generous when we have more money, more time, or fewer responsibilities. But generosity isn't something we suddenly develop when life becomes comfortable. It's something God develops in us as we learn to trust Him. Jesus Changes Our Definition of Wealth Paul takes this conversation somewhere even deeper when he points us to Jesus. In 2 Corinthians 8:9, he reminds us that although Christ was rich, He became poor for our sake, so that through His poverty we might become rich. Paul isn't promising that following Jesus will make us financially wealthy. He's reminding us of something infinitely more valuable. Jesus gave Himself for us. He entered our broken world, carried our sin to the cross, and opened the way for us to experience forgiveness, reconciliation, and new life with God. That's wealth we could never purchase. And when we begin to understand what Jesus has given us, it changes how we think about everything else. Our possessions still matter. We still need to pay bills, provide for our families, and make wise decisions. But money no longer needs to define our identity or determine our worth. Our greatest treasure is found in Christ. Generosity Without Pressure One of the things I appreciate about Paul's teaching is how practical and compassionate it is. In 2 Corinthians 8:12, he explains that a willing gift is acceptable according to what someone has, not according to what they don't have. Then, in 2 Corinthians 9:7, he reminds believers that giving should never come from reluctance or compulsion. God loves a cheerful giver. I think the church needs to remember that. Generosity should never be driven by guilt, comparison, or manipulation. We don't measure someone's faith by the size of their offering. Some people are in a season where they can give substantially. Others are struggling just to make ends meet. Sometimes we're able to help someone else, and sometimes we're the ones who need help. That's part of what it means to belong to the family of God. And generosity extends well beyond finances. A meal delivered to someone who is struggling. A few hours spent helping a neighbour. An encouraging phone call. Hospitality around a kitchen table. Giving someone your attention when they desperately need someone to listen. These are all expressions of a generous life. Trusting the Provider As a pastor, I've seen God's faithfulness through many different seasons. There have been times when resources were tight and we had to trust God for what came next. There have also been wonderful moments when we've been able to celebrate His provision. Through both, I've wanted our church to maintain the same posture: gratitude. We thank God when things are difficult, and we thank Him when things are going well. Because our confidence isn't ultimately in the balance of a bank account. It's in the One who provides. In 2 Corinthians 9, Paul reminds us that God provides what we need so that we can abound in every good work. Notice the purpose of God's provision. It's not simply so we can accumulate more for ourselves. It's so we can participate in the good things He is doing. And ultimately, our generosity produces something beautiful: thanksgiving to God. That's the kind of wealth I want us to pursue. Not simply bigger accounts or greater possessions, but lives that reflect the grace, faithfulness, and generosity of Jesus. So perhaps the question isn't, "Do I have enough to be generous?" Perhaps the better question is, "Am I learning to trust God with what He's already placed in my hands?" Because our generosity isn't determined by how much we have, but by how deeply we trust the One who provides. Trust the Provider. Live Generously.

Strength Redefined - Don't Miss Out, Step Out
Don’t Miss Out. Step Out. Have you ever looked at something in front of you and thought, I don't think I can do this? Maybe it was a responsibility you weren't sure you could handle. A conversation you didn't want to have. A difficult season that seemed to stretch on longer than you thought you could endure. Or perhaps an opportunity came along, but instead of feeling excited, you immediately started thinking about all the reasons you weren't qualified. I think most of us have been there. We live in a world that celebrates strength, confidence, independence, and success. We're encouraged to believe in ourselves, push through our limitations, and keep everything together. And while there's certainly value in perseverance and personal growth, sometimes all that pressure to be strong leaves us feeling even more inadequate. Because what happens when we reach the end of our own strength? What happens when we simply don't have enough left? We're All a Little More Fragile Than We Think In the Bible, the Apostle Paul uses an interesting illustration to describe our lives. He says we're like jars of clay. In the ancient world, clay jars were ordinary household items. They were useful, but fragile. They could crack, chip, or break. Nobody considered them particularly impressive. Yet Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 4:7 that God has placed an extraordinary treasure inside these ordinary vessels. That treasure is the message and life of Jesus Christ. I love that picture because it reminds me that God has never required us to be extraordinary people before He can work through us. He knows we're fragile. He knows we have limitations, insecurities, fears, and weaknesses. And He chooses to work through ordinary people anyway. Sometimes I wonder how many opportunities we miss because we're so focused on what we lack that we forget what God has placed within us. We convince ourselves that someone else would be better suited, more experienced, more gifted, or more confident. But don't confuse your limitations with God's limitations. Your weakness doesn't automatically disqualify you from His purposes. Pressed, But Not Crushed One of the things I appreciate about Paul's writing is that he doesn't pretend life is easy. He speaks openly about suffering, hardship, uncertainty, and moments when he felt completely overwhelmed. In 2 Corinthians 1, Paul describes experiencing pressure so intense that he despaired of life itself. Think about that for a moment. This is Paul! A man whose faith and ministry continue to influence Christians thousands of years later. And yet he had moments when he didn't know how he would make it through. His faith didn't eliminate his struggles. But those struggles taught him something important: to rely not on himself, but on God. Later, in chapter 4, Paul describes being hard pressed but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not abandoned, and struck down but not destroyed. Those words don't mean Christians never experience heartbreak, failure, suffering, or loss. They remind us that difficult circumstances don't get the final word over the hope we have in Jesus. Maybe you need that reminder today. Being overwhelmed doesn't mean you've failed. Having questions doesn't mean you've lost your faith. And needing help doesn't make you weak. God hasn't asked you to pretend everything is fine. He invites you to trust Him right where you are. When God's Answer Isn't What We Expected There's another moment in Paul's life that I find especially meaningful. In 2 Corinthians 12, he describes a persistent struggle he calls a thorn in his flesh. Three times he prayed for God to remove it. And God didn't. Instead, God gave Paul this promise: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." — 2 Corinthians 12:9 Sometimes we pray for our circumstances to change, and they do. Other times, we're still waiting. The difficulty remains. The relationship is still complicated. The responsibility still feels overwhelming. The road ahead remains uncertain. But God's grace is not limited to the moments when everything works out as we'd hoped. Sometimes His strength is revealed in the courage to face another day, the peace to endure a difficult season, or the faith to take the next step. God's strength doesn't always remove the struggle, but His grace is sufficient within it. And that changes how we understand strength. It's no longer about proving we can handle everything ourselves. It's about learning to depend on the One who can sustain us. Don't Miss Out. Step Out. Here's the challenge I've been thinking about. How often do we miss out on what God wants to do in our lives because we've convinced ourselves we're not enough? We hesitate to serve because we don't feel qualified. We avoid difficult conversations because we're afraid of getting them wrong. We resist change because the unknown feels uncomfortable. Sometimes we even struggle to ask for help because we think we should be stronger than we are. But what if the next step isn't about finding more strength within ourselves? What if it's about learning to trust God more deeply? Don't Miss Out. Step Out. For you, that might mean saying yes to an opportunity you've been avoiding. It might mean choosing forgiveness, making a phone call, asking for help, or being honest about something you've been carrying. And if you're exhausted and barely hanging on, stepping out might simply mean trusting Jesus enough to take the next small step today. That's not insignificant. God sees you. He knows your limitations, your fears, and the circumstances you're facing. And He isn't waiting for you to become someone else before He can begin working in your life. The good news of Jesus is that we don't have to earn God's love or prove ourselves worthy of His grace. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus offers us forgiveness, new life, and a restored relationship with God. That's where everything begins to change. So whatever you're facing today, remember this: True strength isn't found in our ability to hold everything together, but in God's power at work through our weakness. You may feel like an ordinary, fragile jar of clay. But don't forget the extraordinary treasure. Don't Miss Out. Step Out. Because God's grace is sufficient, even when your strength isn't. This reflection is based on Week 7 of our Redefined series at North Shore Church, exploring 2 Corinthians 1:3–11; 4:7–18; and 12:7–10. Watch the Live message HereStrength Redefined Sermon

Schreiber Campus Official Launch
The Wait is Over It is time to get going. Walt Disney once said, “The best way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing” That is exactly what we are doing. We did a few practice runs in September and October but now we continue building on those experiences and building on what we have learned to make this dream a reality. Sunday November 8, 2026 at 6:00 pm is our official launch date at the Schreiber Rec Hall, 100 Langworthy Street (right next to the Arena). Pastor Elizabeth will be there with a great message, our team will make some good food, and the best part is, you will have the opportunity to experience the incredible life-changing presence of God. Additionally, we are excited to welcome Pastor Wendy Payne from the “New Church Network” (NCN). Pastor Wendy has started a new church herself and she knows what it takes to plant a new congregation. She serves much of Ontario as the Director of NCN, helping others just like us put their best foot forward in God-given dreams. If you are searching for a place to belong, if you are looking for positive change in your life, If you need a safe place for your kids, Come on out to North Shore Church Schreiber with your family.

Thank you for committing to pray for Lake Superior High School "Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.

Multiply the resources so that students may have access to healthy food which will in turn improve their ability to learn. Amen. More about this Initiative atWe Are Made For This
