DESCRIPTION:In line with our United Church call to ‘Bold Discipleship\, Deep Spirituality\, Daring Justice’\, the theme of this year’s UNJPPI Gathering is “Responding to a Cry for Hope”. That is the Call which was issued in 2019 by Kairos Palestine and Palestinian Christians. \nThe UNJPPI Gathering will be in London\, Ontario from May 6 to 8\, with a community event at King’s College on May 5. \nWorking in the spirit of decolonization\, most of our leadership will be Palestinian as we try to decolonize our work and listen to Palestinians talk to us out of their experience. They include:\n• Yara Shufani – a Palestinian Canadian on “Unity Uprisings 2021 – A Year Later”\n• Shadia Qubti – whose home is Nazareth and who has been studying in Canada since 2020. “Peace-building beyond dipping humus”.\n• Amal Alhaddad – who lives in Victoria and has recently emigrated from Gaza.\n• Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac\, from Bethlehem\, in via technology speaking on “Jesus’ call to be peace-builders”\n• Dr. Gabor Mate will also address our gathering by zoom on “Would you rather be illusioned or see things as they really are”.\n• Mariam Barghouti – a journalist from Ramallah on “What is happening right now?

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Trauma-Informed Ministry (Practically Prophetic Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to Trauma-Informed Ministry (Practically Prophetic Webinar)\nThursday\, May 12\, 2022\n\nMichele’s Presentation Slides: Trauma Informed – Michele’s slides (May 2022)\nVideo of Presentation (Living Skies YouTube Channel): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84aOFqWEw4U\n\nOver the last two years\, the topic of trauma has made its way into the public conversation in new ways. Once thought to be a concern only for military veterans and first responders\, the impact of trauma on ‘ordinary’ people is being recognized as we move through a global disaster together. In this session we will explore what constitutes trauma and how it impacts our lives in community.\n\nMichele Rowe previously worked as a Corrections Worker\, in community development in the core of Saskatoon\, and as an educator and curriculum developer in Indigenous and non-Indigenous colleges before Jesus ruined her life in the best possible way and she answered the call to ordered ministry. A lifelong learner\, Michele has completed training related to mental health and addictions recovery and support\, grief and loss recovery\, and trauma support. She is grateful to live in God’s country and minister alongside the grace-filled people of Maple Creek United Church and the surrounding community.\n\n“Practically Prophetic” is a webinar series focused on tools & tips for our UCC ministry together. Think of it as Com-Ed (Community Education) for all: speakers\, presentations\, and panel discussions related to just about anything & everything in the vibrant faith-life of the church.  Practically Prophetic is a cool collaboration of Living Skies Region Faith Formation (UCC)\, St. Andrew’s College\, and the Centre for Christian Studies.
