Camp Dragonfly
2023-08-25 - 2023-08-27 | Southminster-Steinhauer United Church, 10740-19 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB, T6J 6W9
Camp Dragonfly is a summer camp based in Edmonton, Alberta with a goal to create a safe and welcoming space for trans* and gender-creative youth where they can be their authentic selves, meet trans* role models, and have fun. We are a summer camp for trans* and gender-creative youth age 6-13.
Over the past 6 years, Camp Dragonfly has provided this opportunity to over 160 families from Alberta and beyond. This year, our team wants to increase the number of families and youth that we reach, and invite them to take part in the impactful experience that is being known and loved exactly as they are.
Our campers have given us feedback that while at camp, the stressors and pressures of their day-to-day life seem to fade away. Through the connections, confidence, and skills they build at Camp Dragonfly, they are able to maintain that resiliency throughout the year.

About our speaker and conversation facilitator:
Chris Pullenayegem is an immigrant from Sri Lanka specialized in law (specializing in refugee and Immigration law and policy), psychology, leading change and innovation and in adult education. Chris grew up in a multi-religious and multi-ethic context among communities fractured along these lines. In Canada he worked as a Refugee Policy Analyst which adds to the wealth of knowledge and experience he brings to the area of migration and Diaspora.
His current work as Director of Congregational Vitality at the Vancouver School of Theology includes building a vision for a new and emerging church in Canada co-created by established and migrant communities of faith, which involves researching and developing resources to facilitate this evolution. His interest in inter-faith work motivated him to lead an Ontario inter-faith coalition on social reform for a while. He is a trainer in cross-cultural competencies and multi-faith awareness and is a keen observer of people movements. Chris has decades of experience working with the Church in matters relating to church renewal, leadership and new ministry development and discipleship/faith formation.

Advent of Generosity: Inviting giving and participation during Advent and Christmas
2023-11-14 10:00 - 11:00 | Zoom
December tends to be a very busy month in the life of the church. It is also a busy month for individuals—there is extra baking, shopping for family and friends, Christmas parties, and more. Most charities save their biggest appeals for this “giving season”. Does your community of faith talk about generosity during Advent? Many people want an invitation to give. This can be a time to invite generosity or deeper participation. And it’s an opportunity to tell visitors about your ministry, and invite their support.
This 60-minute session will talk about different ways that church leaders can bring conversations of stewardship into Advent, Christmas Eve, and beyond. Let’s help make this Advent the beginning of a church year full of deeper generosity.
November 14, 10 a.m., via Zoom
