It can be a Sunday School lesson\, a story for worship\, a craft\, a game\, you name it! \nThe goal is to better equip ministers\, lay staff\, and volunteers with creative ideas to minister to the children in our communities of faith. \nThis project is still in the development stage. We are hoping to have a session like this for every liturgical season and develop an accessible regional resource for children ministry. \nNo registration needed: just show up with an open mind and a willingness to share. \nJoin Zoom Meeting: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81254484699 \nMeeting ID: 812 5448 4699 URL:https://nakonhakaucc.ca/event/sunday-school-share-and-swap-first-third-ministries/ CATEGORIES:children and youth,Conversation,Learning Session,ONLINE,Worship ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://nakonhakaucc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/YAYA-CCAH-picto.png ORGANIZER;CN="First Third Ministries Leadership Team":MAILTO:sbernier@united-church.ca END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20240524T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20240524T160000 DTSTAMP:20260419T064445 CREATED:20240506T173701Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240516T172410Z UID:11192-1716555600-1716566400@nakonhakaucc.ca SUMMARY:Learning Opportunity for Communicators: Media Training with Anne Lagacé Dowson DESCRIPTION:Is your community of faith interested in making a splash\, or casting your net a little wider?

It’s for church staff\, clergy\, lay leaders\, volunteers and\, in fact\, anyone! Please feel free to share it with any organizations with whom your church partners. The session is on Zoom to be easily accessible to all\, and it’s free. \nWhen I met with Literacy Unlimited to plan this\, I was astounded to learn that people who do not read or write well avoid any situation where they might feel `less than’ — and that there are simple ways we\, as churches\, can be more equitable and welcoming. It was eye-opening. \nEveryone knows someone who lives with low literacy — even if they keep it well hidden. Anything we can do in our church programmes\, activities\, worship and communications to make them feel comfortable is a worthwhile investment of time. \n– shared by Elizabeth Chown-Lafrenière\, Family Life Centre  \nDownload poster: 2024-02-27 Demystifying Low Literacy-FLC\nLearn more / register: familylifecentre@gmail.com URL:https://nakonhakaucc.ca/event/online-learning-event-demystifying-low-literacy/ CATEGORIES:Community event,Conversation,Growth-Invite,Learning Session,ONLINE ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nakonhakaucc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2024-02-27-DemystifyingLowLiteracy-FLC.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Family Life Centre":MAILTO:familylifecentre@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20240205T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20240205T210000 DTSTAMP:20260419T064445 CREATED:20240109T181427Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240206T185315Z UID:9453-1707159600-1707166800@nakonhakaucc.ca SUMMARY:Learning Session: Grants DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Zoom information session to be held on Monday February 5 at 7:00 p.m.  The session will be hosted by Brian Ruse\, Rev.
