What are the things that separate and unite Indigenous and settler peoples? What can we do to challenge structural racism and repair the broken relationship? Join Steve Heinrichs for an online book club this fall, exploring the new book Canada at a Crossroads by sociologist Jeff Denis. Beginning Oct. 8, we’ll gather by Zoom each Thursday at 7 p.m. (CST) for 8 weeks for a circle conversation, sharing with each other our questions and learnings, our hearts and hopes. Together, we’ll seek to understand how we might nurture Treaty friendships.
Join congregations across Mennonite Church Canada as we celebrate the work of International Witness on October 18, 2020 (or any Sunday your congregations deems appropriate). Online resources including recorded sermons, videos, worship ideas, children’s stories, pictures and information about International Witness to inform and inspire are available at mennonitechurch.ca/IW-Sunday. Ways to give. Ways to learn. Ways to participate.
“Table Talk: Does the Church Still Have Legs?” will examine what it means to be the church and the role of worship. The conference will be held on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020, through Zoom, a virtual-meeting platform.
The conference is intended for pastors, lay leaders and anyone interested in an academic-oriented approach to discerning the purpose and nature of the church.
