SUMMARY:Jeffery Straker Concert at Eastside United\, Regina
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Jeffery Straker Concert at Eastside United Church! \nDoors will open at 6:30 pm\, and the concert begins at 7:00 pm. \n3018 Doan Drive\, Regina The Living Spirit Centre \nThe Living Spirit Centre is a scent free facility \nJoin us for this Eastside United fundraiser \nLimited tickets will be available at the door if not sold out. Scan the QR Code or contact us to purchase tickets for $30! eastsideunited@sasktel.net or 306-761-0556. \nSinger-songwriter pianist Jeffery Straker serves up a rootsy-storytelling brand of song that has been said to transport listeners – out onto a northern Canadian Lake or to the main street of a prairie town. \nWith critical comparisons to the likes of Kris Kristofferson\, Jackson Browne and Murray McLauchlan\, he was awarded the 2025 Canadian Folk Music Award for ‘Contemporary Canadian Folk Singer of the Year’. Back at home in Saskatchewan he’s twice been named ‘Roots-Folk Artist of the Year’. \nStraker released his ninth recording “Great Big Sky” in 2024 – steeped with themes of the Canadian prairies. AmericanaUK praised it saying “With emotional and sonic depth\, this is an album we’d thoroughly recommend”. Some additional unexpected praise came in the form of royal recognition from His Majesty King Charles III who was moved by a song on the album after it made its way into Buckingham Palace. The King’s message to Straker made the national news. \nPerformances of the new recording have taken Jeffery to listeners across Canada (including shows inside prairie grain elevators!) and he was also chosen to represent the nation in a week-long residency performing in Osaka Japan at Expo 2025. \nWherever he performs his audience connections are stand-out and CBC Radio has said: “He has a way of drawing us into his world and making us feel like we’re an old friend he’s ready to catch up with”.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Engaging with Children in Worship
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nWhatever your congregation calls it\, many worship services include a moment when children are invited to gather at the front of the sanctuary. They settle onto the stairs\, a special quilt\, or the floor\, look up at you expectantly… and then what? \nJoin Rev. Lindsay Mohn and Rev. Sarah Giles for a practical and engaging workshop on making the most of this unique time in worship. Together\, we’ll explore ways to connect meaningfully with children\, share stories of God’s love and welcome for all people\, and create moments that are authentic rather than performative. We’ll discuss common challenges\, offer simple tools and approaches\, and encourage one another in the sacred work of engaging children as full participants in the life of the church. \nWhether you’re experienced in leading children’s time or feeling uncertain about where to begin\, you’ll leave with ideas\, confidence\, and inspiration for connecting with the children who gather before you each Sunday. \nClick here to register and receive the Zoom link.
