The New Chapter

Sep 7, 2025    Garry Firth

1. Share why you came to be at TMP. What was your first impression? 


2. When you think about the word “home,” what comes to mind first - comfort, safety, people, or something else? Why?


3. Garry compared the church to the Island of Misfit Toys. How does that image resonate with you? Where have you experienced church feeling more like a “club” than a “home”?


4. Jesus went out of his way—even to places like Caesarea Philippi—to reach people who didn’t know him. What might it look like for us to do that in Nanaimo today?


5. Who in your life first shared the Good News of Jesus with you? How did they go “the extra mile” to show you God’s love?


6. As TMP starts this “new chapter,” what excites you most? What step could you personally take to help make TMP feel like home for someone new?
