SUMMARY:VST - Save the Date - January 30\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:For years\, the Vancouver School of Theology has been organizing VST SUNDAY – a day where students\, faculty\, staff and alumni all head out into the worshipping communities and share in worship. VST folks blend into the church service as clergy wish – a faculty member may preach\, a student may offer a prayer\, and during pre-pandemic times the VST person would stand at a table with VST Swag during coffee time to chat about the school and give away pens! \nThe Pandemic has given us the opportunity to share pre-recorded options (faculty and student sermons\, student testimonials and prayers) and do live zoom! \nPlease let me know if you’re interested and we can talk about how something might work. \nRev. Julie Lees\nRecruitment\nWant to know all the latest news?

SUMMARY:Lenten Study: Death of Jesus for Progressive Christians
DESCRIPTION:Lenten Study: Death of Jesus for Progressive Christians\nThe Manitou Intentional Learning Community invites you to participate in a three-week Lenten study\, The Death of Jesus for Progressive Christians published in 2019. Donald Schmidt’s study guides participants through the Biblical stories about the death of Jesus “invit[ing] us to ask the larger question hanging in the background. Why did Jesus die?” Schmidt suggests that “Jesus’ theme of God’s involvement in the world on behalf of the marginalized . . . was a major challenge to the religious order of the day. It had to be stopped.” The ideas explored in this text resonate with people of faith in the modern world. In the introduction\, Schmidt writes: “The point of this study is to help you . . . analyze\, celebrate\, incarnate\, and try to live out the powerful story of the events leading up to Jesus’ death and burial.”\nLeadership will be provided by Rev. Dave LeGrand\, Rev. Erin Todd\, and Rev. Dawn Vaneyk. Sessions will take place via Zoom on Monday\, March 21\, March 28 and April 4 from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.\nTo register\, please go to www.manitoulearning.com and click on the registration link for this event.\nIf you have questions or would like more information\, contact Gillian at manitouintentionallearning@gmail.com

Pam Cullen\, London Community Chaplaincy\nRev.
