CCS Friday - An Ecology of Faith Formation
2024-03-15 12:00 - 13:00 | Zoom, Canada
Join the Centre for Christian Studies (CCS) on Friday, March 15 (noon Central, 1pm Eastern, 11am Mountain, 10am Pacific, 2pm Atlantic) for an online conversation about the eco-system of faith formation in congregations. Our special guest will be UCC Growth Animator Greg Smith-Young.
Within creation, ecosystems form as different and diverse creatures (living and non-living) interact together. Each part plays a vital role in making the whole. Ecosystems are about interdependence and integration. What can happen when we bring an “ecosystem” way of thinking into the faith formation work of congregations? Join us as we imagine the possibilities.
Greg Smith-Young (he/him) is a Growth Animator with the United Church of Canada. He serves alongside existing and newly-forming communities of faith in southwest Ontario, helping them to share in what Jesus is already doing in their places: inviting, welcoming, engaging, forming disciples, and sending to share in God’s Presence.
CCS Fridays are free. Please register to receive a zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwsceGsqzIuHtcJfObCM1xhPf4sRLMj18nC#/registration
CCS Fridays are online conversations to help us all to respond faithfully to emerging issues in local contexts. These workshops are open to anyone who might be interested. Each session will be on a Friday from 12:00 to 1:00 CT and in the form of a Zoom workshop. There will be a presentation that will be recorded for future viewing, plus opportunities to engage with the ideas in small groups.

Edmonton‛s 44th Annual Good Friday Outdoor Way of the Cross “ Journeying Home"
2024-03-29 10:00 - 13:30 | Alberta
Good Friday, March 29, 2024, 10 a.m. (99 Street and 107 Avenue, Edmonton AB)
The 44th annual Outdoor Way of the Cross invites people to think about the relevance and importance of the Gospel message in our world today. This year’s theme, “Journeying Home,” is based on Isaiah 58:6-7: “Is not this the fast that I choose. . .to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless into your house.”
The walk will once again take place in person, along the streets of Edmonton’s inner city. It will include six stations, and each station will offer a reflection on an aspect of the overall theme that highlights both a challenge and a source of hope, woven together with music.
People of all faith traditions are welcome. The 1.5-kilometre walk is reasonable for most ages and levels of fitness and ability. Free street parking is available near the start location. Light refreshments will be provided at Hope Mission (106 Avenue and 99 Street) after the final station.
For more information, contact Marguerite Watson at marguerite.watson@telus.net or visit the Way of the Cross website here.
