Faith
Enrichment Session
MMICC Faith Enrichment Team October 2022 - June 2023 Saturday June 3rd
Welcome everyone to this, our last Faith
Enrichment session for the season.
We will be focusing on the ongoing, everlasting presence of the Spirit in our lives and communities, all over the world. We hope to renew our own spirit of love and reconciliation, of joy and of peace. And we want to acknowledge that the same spirit which showers us with gifts, also drives us to denounce injustice, to serve the needy, to protect the earth, to push for women’s place in our Church (among others), to walk with our Indigenous brothers and sisters, and make some noise. A ritual: If you wish, please bring with you an oil (or lotion) suitable to anoint with, and you will be invited to trace the cross in each palm, during the reading of the Gifts of the Spirit. Hope to see you there! Your team

Let Justice and Peace Flow: Celebrating the Season of Creation You are invited to a free webinar on June 22, 2023, at 3 pm, on ways to prepare our congregations for the Season of Creation. Our panel consists of Rev. Dr. Jennifer Janzen-Ball, Executive Minister for Theological Leadership, United Church of Canada; Very Rev. Ken Gray, retired Dean of St. Paul's Anglican Cathedral in Kamloops; and Dr. Carl Bear, Music Director, St. Mark's Anglican Church, Ottawa. The Season of Creation begins on September 1, the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, and culminates on October 4, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, patron of ecology and animals. This Season offers a holy moment in the midst of our day-to-day lives to contemplate the fabric of life into which we are woven, to rejoice in the good gift of Creation, and to reflect on how we can better respect it. Parishes and congregations can participate in myriad ways. Summer is an excellent time to learn and prepare. Resources are available at https://seasonofcreation.org and through denominational websites. Begin your preparations for the Season by joining the June 22 webinar.
