SUMMARY:Breaking the Gender Binary One Word at a Time
DESCRIPTION:Conversations about gender diversity and the power of language\, 6:00PM in AB and SK\, 7:00PM in MB and NW ON. \nWhat is gender inclusive language and how does it have the power to embrace or exclude non-binary\, Two Spirit\, trans\, agender\, and gender queer people? Join us for a practical discussion about evolving language and personal perspectives on its importance. All welcome.\nThe Zoom link is here. Need to phone in? 1-855 703 8985 (Canada Toll-free) and enter meeting ID\n940 3191 7505\nPassword: 492676 \nThis gathering is especially recommended for Regional Council delegates who will be voting on Remit 1 this fall. In the fall of 2020\, delegates to the regional annual meeting will be voting on a remit to make a small but important change to the Basis of Union. Current wording about eligibility for ministry uses “men and women”\, and the wording would be changed to “all people”\, to reflect a diversity of gender identities. (Further background is here.)

SUMMARY:Regional Worship Service on June 14
DESCRIPTION:We are not alone\, we live in God’s world! \nThese words are a gift and a challenge to us. As we celebrate that we are surrounded by the love of our Creator and that it is through our relationships and community that God’s love is manifested\, we are also invited to see how we too can reveal God’s love. This Sunday\, our congregation\, Grace United Church in Edmonton\, is using the magic of technology to provide a regional worship service. Folks from northern Alberta and the northeast tip of BC\, comprising our Northern Spirit Region\, share their leadership to explore how in these strange and challenging times God is calling us to be seeds of hope. May this coming together of community remind us that surely God in this place in ways we didn’t expect. Help us notice!\nBlessings\, Anna and Chelsea \nWorship Service: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HCiCWJzuPGZBdxPLHDQw1MU–Ju4UVNn/view?usp=sharing \nWorship Bulletin: https://northernspiritrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Regional-Worship-Bulletin.pdf \n
