What if We Never Open the Gift?	December, 5, 2009
	Nancy wins! Awe, isn’t it nice to give away $100? It must be nice to get $100! After competing in a skill-testing, game-show-like contest, Nancy was awarded a $100 gift certificate to the Pembroke Mall. But what if she never uses it? ... more.
*Are You Lost in the Crowd?*	October 17 , 2009
	Have you ever travelled on a Toronto subway? Have you looked around at a multitude of tired, silent individuals and wondered if you knew anyone? Or if anyone knew you? Perhaps you’ve walked by yourself through a large mall, saw everyone laughing with each other, and wondered if there was anyone in the whole world who cared about you. Have you ever felt lost in the crowd? ... more.
*We're Taking This Outside!*	August 22, 2009
	Ahhh … the great outdoors! What do you bring outside? If it’s raining, you probably have the forethought to bring an umbrella. If you’re heading to the beach, you should bring your towel. On Saturday, August 22nd, Uturn held it’s second outdoor event. The band, the dramas, everything … we took it outside ... more.
*The Fork in the Road*	June 27 , 2009
	Wonderful Summer time: sunshine, swimming, and many many choices. What will you do with your summer? Most of us have jobs. Some of us are free to make the most (or least) of every moment. We’re always faced with choices. Some are small, such as what we’ll eat for breakfast. Other choices are huge. What do you do when your life hits a fork in the road? ... more.
*Fireproof*	March 14 , 2009
	Many people gathered at Festival Hall on Saturday night. There was no band playing; but somehow, Uturn was the same. The movie Fireproof lead us through the pain of an abandoned marriage. The main character, Captain Caleb Holt, had no love for his wife. They fought over everything and nothing, and divorce seemed like the only possible road. Through the guidance of his father, Caleb began a Love Dare, a 40-day challenge that added one principle a day ... more.
*Star Search Pembroke*	December 20, 2008
	White snow, friends, old carols, gifts, laughter, and a star—Uturn brought Christmas to Pembroke 5 days early. The snow came early and shows no sign of stopping this year. The friends also came early and braved the cold weather to spend an exciting evening together. The carols were sung, along with new songs, to rock the night away. The gift was a new iPod nano and was given to a new shining star ... more.

*Were You Made in China?*	October 18, 2008
	Stop for a moment. Check the tag on the shirt you are wearing. Where was it made? Where was your computer made? Where was you bike, or glasses, or favourite electronic toy made? Every thing in this world was made somewhere and made by someone. True, some things are made with more quality than others. You can usually tell the quality of an object simply by looking to see who made it. ... more.

*Mirror, Mirror on the Wall ...*	August 2, 2008
	Mirror, mirror, on the wall … Uturn was rockin’ at Festival Hall this past August 2^nd. Who do you see in the mirror? Every day, we look into a mirror. At first glance, we’re still looking exhausted. We look deeper. What are we looking for? ... more.

*Where is Your Hope?*	June 7, 2008
	Where is your hope? Some of us are pretty. Others are pretty stong. A few people have more money then they know what to do with. Some have more talent and others are a little more kind. What will help us most in life? Where is your hope for today and for tomorrow? ... more.

*Find Freedom From the Porn Box*	April 19, 2008
	Why do people come out to Uturn? For some it’s the great music. For other’s it’s the dramas. For others, it’s a chance to hear about freedom in a way they’ve only hoped for. This past Uturn event launched into the freedom from porn that Jesus can bring to people who are trapped in the porn box ... more.

*FREEDOM!*	January 19, 2008
	What comes to your mind when you think of FREEDOM? War movies like Independence Day or Braveheart? Maybe it’s something simpler, like getting a car or getting out of your parent’s house. On Saturday, January 19^th 2008, people got together at Festival Hall for some music, friends and yup, freedom ... more.

*What's Distracting You?*	November 24, 2007
	How do you spend your day? Many of us spend hours and hours in front of some type of electronic screen. On average, Canadian teenagers, from age 12 to 17, spend 12.9 hours a week in front of a TV ... more.

A New Beginning:	September 22, 2007
	What would you do if you could have a new beginning? What would you change? Most people I know would want to make changes so that they would have less stress, feel excepted and be just a little more happy ... more.

*Uturn #4*	June 16, 2007
