UCC at Pride Parade this Sunday, June 2nd – details
Walkers are officially asked to arrive by 10:00 (but from past experience, as long as you find us by the time the parade starts moving at 11:00, you can still join in). We entered a “float” followed by walkers this year, so we will be in row C – which is the southbound median lane of Memorial Blvd. Look for a truck (a white Ford F150 that may be painted bright colours) that will have a “United Church of Canada – Affirming Ministries” sign on top.
Call Abbey at (204) 230-7046 if you can’t find us.
Dress for the weather and don’t forget your rainbow attire & maybe some candy to hand out!!

Climate justice and financing open monthly meetings
2024-06-22 19:00 - 20:30 | Zoom
Prairie to Pine’s monthly online meeting on climate justice and financing, 22nd of every month, 7:00 PM
Your or your community of faith have received a letter from Prairie to Pine encouraging you to start a conversation with your bank or credit union about where your money is invested. The concern has to do with the billions of dollars that Canadian banks are investing in fossil fuel expansion- and the good those funds could do if invested in sustainable, community-based energy. All the background documents and the latest news are here on our Climate Justice webpage.
We will be offering a monthly Zoom forum at 7:00PM CDT (CST after the time change) on the 22nd of each month over the coming year. This will be your opportunity to discuss actions, ask questions, get support and celebrate action. We want to support you to take action, to express your concerns, to explore what divesting might mean for you or your community of faith. All welcome! You can also contact committee chairperson Lynda Trono at lyndatrono(at)gmail(dot)com

Town Hall on connecting and community in the Region
2024-06-25 19:00 - 20:30 | Zoom
Tuesday June 25, 2024 at 7:00 PM CDT.
All delegates and people of the Regional Council are invited to this conversation on how we connect with each other across the Region and in our areas. Locally, regionally, nationally, and online there are opportunities to gather with others to learn and discuss important topics. However, we have heard that something is missing. Our question to you is: What is missing from the events and opportunities currently available? What would you give time to plan or participate in?
We’ll also discuss: How do we balance the need to reduce our carbon footprint and our need to gather in-person; how can we gather in accessible ways?; in the past, when face-to-face gatherings have been planned and the gathering is expressly for that reason, attendance is low. Therefore, beyond the desire to get together, what other reasons would make it worth your time to get together?
