SUMMARY:Living Generously Stewardship Webinar 3 ~ Who Do They Say You Are?
DESCRIPTION:With LeaderSHIFT and Vicki Nelson\, Community of Faith Stewardship Support\nThis free webinar series is supported by LeaderSHIFT\, The United Church of Canada\, Pacific Mountain Regional Council\, Chinook Winds Regional Council. It’s for church leaders – clergy and lay – to explore ways to encourage\, support\, and talk about church finances and givings. \nAs leaders\, with passion and deep involvement in our communities of faith\, we often think we are putting out clear and welcoming messaging about our theology and culture. But we have found that too often our neighbours do not know us at all. This 60 minute session will allow church leaders to dip their toe into considering your community of faith’s call\, and how best to share that true and awesome spirit with the wider world. \nONLINE ONLY\, VIA ZOOM\nRegistration & Information at Living Generously: A Stewardship Webinar Series

SUMMARY:PMR Anti-Poverty Fall Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:With Regional Minister for Justice\, Rev. Dr. Kendra Mitchell-Foster & First United (Vancouver)\nPMR Anti-Poverty Fall Webinar Series\nOctober 2\, 2024\n6:00pm – 7:30pm\nJoin us in September for a series of webinars focused on education around current issues and actions you can take in your community in preparation for the upcoming BC Provincial Election on October 19th\, 2024. \nOn October 2\, from 6:00 – 7:30 pm\, we will be hearing about two initiatives First United is championing to urge the election candidates to incorporate crucial elements in their campaigns and potential time in office: i) support for accessible housing and vacancy control in BC\, and ii) advocacy and action to ensure safe supply of drugs in BC to counter the public health crisis of toxic drug supply that results in an overwhelming morbidity and mortality burden for those in our communities exposed to contaminated drugs. \nJoin us to learn about the issues\, and what you can do in your own community to advocate for safety\, dignity\, and life for all of our siblings in BC and beyond. \nFirst United Initiatives \nFIRST UNITED has been on the frontlines\, serving the Downtown Eastside community for over 100 years. They are organizing a postcard writing campaign to mobilize communities across the province on housing and drug policy issues. Specifically\, they’re calling for each party to adopt positions supportive of vacancy control and safe supply of drugs. \nThey will be sending congregations packages of postcards with additional instructions and resources in early September and ask that you invite your congregants to participate in signing these postcards. A digital pledge sheet is also available. They hope to have over 2\,000 postcards returned from communities\, and will send them to each party in early October. \nCommunities of faith have incredible power when they mobilize\, and the United Church has a strong history of advocacy. FIRST UNITED hasn’t organized a campaign on this scale in a long time\, and sincerely hope you’ll join them in this important action. Advocacy on these issues will help prevent homelessness and help to end the toxic drug overdose crisis. More information will be available on their website firstunited.ca\, and sent to your congregation in September.

Blair Odney with guests from First Third Ministries\n  \nThroughout the month of October\, four key leaders in the church – Kerry Child\, Ibi Chuan\, Jen Cunnings\, and Deborah Richards are teaming with First Third Ministry to explore a big question: \n“What do Congregations and Communities of Faith want? What do they look for from camping ministry? What do they know/feel about camping ministry? What are their connections? What are their aspirations for the future\, and do they want to be involved?” \nParticipants at the town hall will be divided into break out groups where they will participate in a small research focus group\, hosted by First Third Ministry and the Task Group. \nYour curiosity and participation is an important part of this new and exciting ministry research project. \nTown Hall Gatherings are hosted with Zoom\, but you do not need an internet connection to join the Town Hall!

SUMMARY:Church Planters Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit to D. Sharon Pruitt \nChurch Planting is a broad term that refers to starting new communities of faith for the benefit of those who are not yet part of the Church. These may start in various forms\, and usually have the capacity to develop into ‘mature’ expressions of ‘word\, sacrament and pastoral care’ – though that might look very different then many existing congregations or pastoral charges. We deliberately engage this metaphor of gardening and tilling as a way to express the organic and ecological nature of starting new communities of faith. \nIf you are interested please contact Rob Shearer the Regional Minister for LeaderSHIFT Church Planting Project (LLCP).  He can be reached by email or phone +1-778-977-7562. \n
