Placing Ourselves in Colonialism

A 4-session workshop for settlers and newcomers to explore our histories and stories. Where do we connect with the forces of colonization? What are our responsibilities to the places where we have “settled” and the people whose lives that has impacted? Where does this lead us in our discipleship?

This series, which includes a panel discussion, a book study, and your own research (we’ll help!) and sharing, is inspired by the work of Elaine Enns and Ched Myers (authors of Healing Haunted Histories: A Settler Discipleship of Decolonization). It will also feature Chinook Winds Indigenous Minister Rev. Tony Snow, United Church of Canada Anti-Racism and Equity Lead Adele Halliday, and United Church of Canada Reconciliation and Indigenous Justice Animator Sara Stratton.

While there is one registration form for the the full series, you may choose to attend only some of the individual sessions."

Learning on the Way (Spring 2023)

These round table discussions provide an opportunity to meet with other Licenced Lay Worship Leaders and to continue learning the art of worship leadership.

In these sessions, we shall be engaging lectionary readings related to three lesser-known Days in the Christian Calendar. These Sundays are often Sundays for which LLWLs are invited to lead worship. The engagement with the scriptures will function as a gateway to a discussion about a related doctrine.

Class Structure:
Self-directed study: 3 hours
Zoom class Sesstions: 4.5 hours

Lenten Study 2023: Good Courage

Every Tuesday, from February 28–April 4
1:00 - 2:00 p.m. ET

In this six-week series, join Rev. Stephen Fetter and people from across the country to explore one of the devotional readings from the Good Courage, the new Devotional Study book from United Church Publishing House. We’ll listen to the devotion’s author read the passage aloud, to hear nuances that can only be communicated by the spoken voice. We’ll push deeper than the words on the page – both with the author, and with each other – and explore how each devotion invites us into deeper spirituality and more daring discipleship.

Participants will receive PDF copies of the six reflections we’ll study together, and a coupon for 20% off the cost of the whole book.

Webinars for Church Treasurers

4th Wednesday of each month, 7:00 - 8:30 pm ET

These programs have proven so popular that we've invited Eric and Clyde back monthly, to keep us up to date on the latest news and advice for treasurers. Each session will provide information that's current as of the day of delivery -- since the government programs continue to change as we move through the pandemic, be sure you stay up to date on the things that could make a difference to your church and ministry.

Offering this program through CHURCHx provides some new options for those who've participated in the past. This year we have links to important documents, powerpoints and recordings all collected together in one handy space, and a discussion forum where you can post your questions and comments between sessions.

Course Format:
Monthly 1.5 hour live webinar
