SUMMARY:Strawberry Thanksgiving and Communion – Online
DESCRIPTION:Join us online Wednesday\, September 24th at 10:00-11:30 AM for Strawberry Thanksgiving and Communion\, and take your acknowledgement of Territory to the next level by considering the Spiritual Covenant.  \nMany congregations who have been acknowledging the territory for the past few years are asking what meaningful action they can take to move their acknowledgment from words to actions. You are invited to Strawberry Thanksgiving and Communion\, an online opportunity to begin the conversation about making a spiritual covenant. \nYou’re warmly invited\nto this special event featuring Adrian Jacobs of the Turtle Clan\, Cayuga Nation\, sharing on the Spiritual Covenant—a reflection on land\, relationship\, and reconciliation on Wednesday\, September 24th\, from 10:00-11:30 AM. \nAdrian Jacobs will offer a leadership in this workshop and communion service that will inform and inspire the discernment of churches on any traditional territory who wish to consider concrete action to live into their acknowledgment of territory. The workshop and worship will be grounded in history and scripture\, and will invite you to deeper relationship with the land and the peoples on the land\, and the Creator\, Christ and Spirit. (For more information about the Strawberry Thanksgiving and Communion and the Spiritual Covenant\, see below.) \nThe road to a decision about a faithful action by your community of faith is an ongoing journey. Come prepared to engage and to learn\, and then bring your reflections to your home church for prayerful consideration. \nBread and Juice for Communion\nThis workshop will include an online communion service\, so have your own juice and bread ready. For juice\, you are invited to honour Indigenous tradition with strawberry juice\, a local Indigenous medicine.  If you would like to make strawberry juice\, here is a simple recipe you can use:\nhttps://tworowtimes.com/healthy-roots/jihsodahk-the-leader-of-the-plants/. If you are not able to use strawberry juice\, feel free to bring any fruit juice of your choice. \nRegister in advance for this event:\nhttps://united-church.zoom.us/meeting/register/2BNM7atZRhKNuAGAeO_1nA\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead More Here

SUMMARY:Prayerful Decision Making
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday April 22 10:30 AM-12:00 Noon on Zoom \nAs Christians we pray\, “Thy will be done.” But\, how can we know what God’s will is? \nFor hundreds of years\, principles and practices developed by Ignatius of Loyola have helped Christians discern what God is calling them to do and be. While we may never be 100% sure of what God wants\, prayerful discernment can help us make choices that bring us as closer to the abundant life that Christ offers. \nThis workshop offers a basic introduction to time-tested Ignatian discernment methods. Grounded in Christian faith\, spiritual discernment can help us make small and large decisions in our lives\, and can even be adapted to use in groups such as church boards\, working groups\, families and more. \nFacilitator: Rev. Thérèse Samuel\, Minister\, Right Relations and Social Justice. Thérèse previously completed the Jubilee Program in Spiritual Direction and is currently completing doctoral studies in Spiritual Direction. She sees value in spiritual discernment for all aspects of personal and church life\, including our efforts to seek justice\, love kindness and journey humbly with God. \nAdvance registration required: \nhttps://united-church.zoom.us/meeting/register/PyGErHonSHOQTyWSHj3V3A \nIf you have accessibility needs for online participation\, or if you have any questions\, please contact Thérèse Samuel tsamuel@united-church.ca
