Indigenous Day of Prayer Service
The Indigenous Day of Prayer service was held Sunday, June 20th at 2:15 pm was a follow up to the 215 Memorial service that was held on Friday, June 4th honouring the young indigenous lives lost at residential schools across the country, in particular, the school in Kamloops. The service also remembered the United Church of Canada’s 1986 apology to our Indigenous peoples for the part the denomination played in the operation of residential schools and UCC’s continued efforts at reconciliation and partnership with our First Nations peoples. Holy Trinity’s Council has passed a motion to donate $215 to the United Church Healing Fund. This fund is under the purview of the United Church Indigenous Council and monies are disbursed by the Council to indigenous communities and projects.

"Agnus Day (in Latin, "Agnes Dei" means "Lamb of God") is the only lectionary-based comic strip on the planet... Each week, Rick (the sheep with the dark nose) and Ted discuss one of the assigned readings from the Common Lectionary. Their conversation drives at a point and sometimes sparks a laugh... Agnus Day is the creation of Pastor James Wetzstein, a Lutheran pastor."
|
The Agnus Day website provides a discussion on the Bible passage associated with each comic strip. You can even comment on the strip! Archives of past strips can be accessed on the website. Enjoy as a new strip appears each week!

Acknowledgement of the Territory
For thousands of years First Nations people have walked this land. Their relationship with the land is at the centre of their lives and spirituality. We are gathered on the traditional lands of Serpent River and Mississagi people and acknowledge their stewardship of this land throughout the ages. May we live with respect on this land and live in peace and friendship with its people |
