SUMMARY:Town Hall Info Session and Regional Meeting to Vote on Remit
DESCRIPTION:Town Hall Info Session\nJoin us on Tuesday\, September 19 starting at 6 p.m. for our town hall information session\, when we will gather on Zoom with our friends from Canadian Shield Regional Council to review and discuss the remit to remove structural barriers to developing and sustaining an autonomous Indigenous Church. Special guest the Rev. Michael Blair\, General Secretary\, will be with us to join in the discussion. \nThis information session is open to all those interested in learning more about the remit vote\, both for your own community of faith’s vote or our regional response. Please register below to attend. \n  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Regional Meeting to Vote on Remit\nFollowing the information session\, Shining Waters regional members will stay online and vote on our regional response to the remit. We anticipate ending by 8 p.m. \nThis is a Category 3 Remit\, and so requires a vote by every regional council and each pastoral charge’s governing body. If a regional council or a pastoral charge does not register a vote\, that is considered a vote against the proposal. \nThere is one question to be voted on\, as follows: \nDoes the regional council agree to amend the Basis of Union to reflect: \n\nThat The United Church of Canada will be organized as follows (1) a three-council structure\, consisting of communities of faith\, regional councils and a Denominational Council*; and (2) an autonomous National Indigenous Organization; and\nThat once the new autonomous National Indigenous Organization is established within The United Church of Canada\, it will have its own mechanisms to make any future changes to its structure and processes\, and\, therefore will not be subject to the remit process under section 7.4.1 of the Basis of Union**; and\nThe changes required for the establishment of the autonomous National Indigenous Organization.\n\n  \nOnce the regional vote has been completed we will submit the regional response form to the General Council Office. \n  \nFor more information and to register please see our website here.

SUMMARY:Alpha - In Person - Daytime
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a safe space to discuss life’s big questions? You’re at the right spot! Alpha is a series of interactive sessions exploring the basics of the Christian faith\, meaning and life. \nEach session looks at a different question\, and is designed to create conversation. There’s no pressure\, no follow-up and no charge; it’s just an open\, informal\, and honest space to explore and discuss life’s big questions together. \nOffered IN-PERSON 11 weeks course starting on Wednesday September 20\,2023 – November 29\,2023 from 10:00 to 11:30am at NBUC \nVideo.\nThe videos are designed to be engaging and inspire conversation. Usually around 30 minutes long\, they explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity\, addressing questions like “Who is Jesus?”\, “Why and how do I pray?” and “How does God guide us?” \nSmall Group Discussion.\nProbably the most important part of any Alpha: the chance to share thoughts and ideas about the talk without being corrected or judged. There’s no obligation to say anything; it’s an opportunity to hear from others and contribute your own perspective. \nCheck out the first session to see if this is something you would like to explore! \nAll are welcome!
