SUMMARY:Church Websites (Practically Prophetic Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Church Websites…maybe it’s time to ditch the fax machine?\nTuesday\, September 28th\, 2021\n7pm (Online Zoom meeting) \nRegister: https://form.jotform.com/212507183299258\nDownload Poster (pdf): https://livingskiesrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Church-Website-Description-Practically-Sept-2021.pdf \nAccording to entirely un-scientific poll results that we just made up\, just over 117% of all people check out churches online before they ever walk through the sanctuary door. But really\, websites are the primary way for churches today to communicate\, connect\, and invite people into a faith community. Not having a website today is like not having a phone. \nThe problem is that most of us are intimidated by idea of developing and maintaining websites for our church communities. That’s why we hired Alicia as a summer student with the Region. Alicia helped to develop a simple\, very inexpensive\, standardized Worspress template for church websites. We want to show it to you. \nSo\, for the first part of the evening\, we’ll talk about general tips & suggestions for church websites. What needs to be there\, what people are looking for\, and a few common mistakes to be avoided. \nThe second part will be an introduction to the pilot project Living Skies Church Website Template. It’s already up and running for a few guinea pig communities of faith in the Region. We’ll walk through an overview\, and hopefully answer questions for other congregations interested in using it to set up their own website. \nQuestions?: contact Kent at KMohn@united-church.ca 306-221-5529.

SUMMARY:Taste of Palestine 1: cooking\, living\, eating under blockade
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy learning (virtual) hands on about Palestinian traditional food\, and the realities of living and eating under military occupation or blockade. Haneen AbdAlnabi will be our first host on October 12 at 10:30AM. She is a teacher and translator living under blockade in Gaza\, and\, we hope\, will come to us live from Gaza. \nPlease register here to get the Zoom link\, which will be sent automatically. Remember to check your email spam folder! \nWhy this event? Fall is harvest time throughout the Northern hemisphere\, and in Palestine and Israel\, the October olive harvest is a deeply important time for community\, culture\, and traditional food for the coming year. But it’s also a time where violence directed at Palestinian farmers spikes to new levels\, as radical Jewish settlers target olive trees and harvesters. The World Council of Churches offers extensive videos and photos in a special project launched last year\, and you can use these freely in your community of faith. \nNew for this year\, and accompanying our Taste events: The Palestine Service for Peace was created by the Saskatchewan and Ontario Taste of Palestine Group\, and compiled and edited by Ineke Medcalf. It’s available on YouTube- use freely in your worship services.

SUMMARY:Preaching Tips - Structures & Forms (Practically Prophetic Webinars)
DESCRIPTION:Preaching Tips When the Sermon Isn’t Coming\nTuesday\, October 26th\, 2021\n7pm (Online Zoom presentation) \nRegister: https://form.jotform.com/212764711572052\nPoster for Download: https://livingskiesrc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Preaching-Tips-Description-Practically-Oct-2021.pdf \nRev. Brian Walton is a gifted pastoral minister and spiritual counsellor desperately trying to retire after offering his entire ministry in Saskatchewan.  He is an honorary degree recipient from St. Andrew’s College and has provided sessional instruction at the College in the areas of Preaching & Worship.  He wouldn’t say this\, but he’s kind of “United Church famous” and deeply respected for his insightful\, personal preaching and commitment to Spiritual Care. \nBrian believes that many sermons are the product of ‘holy inspiration’ and almost write themselves.  For those Sundays when that doesn’t happen he offers some tips for shaping the creative process.  In particular this month\, Brian will focus on structural forms\, explaining some of the structures and practices that can support and enhance our sermon writing. \nThis is first in what we hope will be an ongoing series of “Preacher’s Corners”\, offering creative insights and practical tools for everyone who happily finds themselves leading worship.  Regardless of your experience or background in worship leadership\, ministry personnel and lay people are all invited.  We’re pretty sure there’s something here for everyone! \nQuestions?: contact Kent at KMohn@united-church.ca 306-221-5529. \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 an ongoing collaboration of Living Skies Region Faith Formation (UCC)\, St. Andrew’s College\, and the Centre for Christian Studies.

SUMMARY:Treaty in SK: exploring Treaty Elders of Saskatchewan together
DESCRIPTION:Save the dates! \nOn October 27 and November 6 we will be hosting a discussion of the important book\, Treaty Elders of Saskatchewan\, by Harold Cardinal and Walter Hildebrandt.

Everyone who is interested in joining the conversation is welcome\, and no prior participation is necessary. \nJaved Sommers from KAIROS Prairies North will be guiding our exploration of the book. In the first Zoom session on Wednesday Oct 27 at 7:30pm\, we’ll focus on understanding the history of treaties. In the second session on Saturday Nov 6 at 1:00pm\, we’ll turn to the future of treaty relations. You can attend one or both! \nOptions for getting the book:  Your local library; order a copy through the Office of the Treaty Commissioner here; Turning the Tide bookstore in Saskatoon \nLink for October 27: \nhttps://uregina-ca.zoom.us/j/99867756264?pwd=YUNYSHZkQUVwWTFtMU45M0t4Sld2Zz09 \nMeeting ID: 998 6775 6264\nPasscode: 855660\nFind your local number: https://uregina-ca.zoom.us/u/adcG84h7b

SUMMARY:Taste of Palestine 2: traditional food under occupation
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Gatsi\, via Canva. \nEnjoy learning (virtual) hands on about Palestinian traditional food\, and the realities of living and eating under military occupation or blockade. Claire Anastas will be our second host\, on November 2 at 10:30AM. She lives under military occupation on the West Bank and\, we hope\, will come to us live from there. \nPlease register here to get the Zoom link\, which will be sent automatically. Remember to check your email spam folder! \nWhy this event? Fall is harvest time throughout the Northern hemisphere\, and in Palestine and Israel\, the October olive harvest is a deeply important time for community\, culture\, and traditional food for the coming year. But it’s also a time where violence directed at Palestinian farmers spikes to new levels\, as radical Jewish settlers target olive trees and harvesters. The World Council of Churches offers extensive videos and photos in a special project launched last year\, and you can use these freely in your community of faith. \nNew for this year\, and accompanying our Taste events: The Palestine Service for Peace was created by the Saskatchewan and Ontario Taste of Palestine Group\, and compiled and edited by Ineke Medcalf. It’s available on YouTube- use freely in your worship services.

SUMMARY:Western Intercultural Network conversation and AGM
DESCRIPTION:Encountering the Intercultural Iceberg: the Clergy Collar! Speakers Rev Lee Spice\, Rev Piotr (Peter) Strzelecki VDM\, and resource people from the WIMN executive\, followed by conversation and a short AGM for the Network.\n\nJoin the Western Intercultural Ministry Network as we explore the cultural iceberg –specifically\, the clergy collar. What values\, histories\, stories\, power dynamics lie below the surface and the water lines of our lives when we see the clergy collar? Let’s talk Intercollartural Ministry together! (Scroll down for a fuller introduction.) \nAll welcome- all identities and all people on the intercultural learning journey. Click here to see the mandate and terms of reference for our network. \nOur network crosses many time zones. Here’s our timing: 11:30AM – 1:30PM (PDT)\, BC\n12:30PM – 2:30PM (MDT/ CST)- AB and SK\n1:30PM – 3:30PM (CDT)\, MB and parts of NW Ontario\n2:30PM – 4:30PM (EDT) ON and QC \nZoom link here.\nMeeting ID: 961 7898 5162\nPassword: 279621 \n+1 647 558 0588 Canada\n+1 778 907 2071 Canada\n+1 438 809 7799 Canada\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada\n855 703 8985 Canada Toll-free \nIntro to our topic: In intercultural work\, we often refer to the cultural iceberg.  With icebergs\, only the top of the iceberg is visible on top of the ocean\, while under the waterline the iceberg may be vast\, deep and wide.  Often\, the most important parts of ourselves may be hidden beneath the waterline\, and encountering those can bring us into richer and more respectful relationship with each other. Sometimes\, icebergs that look far away from each other on the surface can bump into each other under the water – sometimes gently\, sometimes causing damage. \nFor our coffee and chai conversation this month\, we are going to explore the cultural iceberg that we call the clergy collar.  On the surface\, it might seem like a small thing\, a symbol of office that some clergy intentionally wear and others do not.  Some church members and people in the general public are comforted by it\, others are puzzled by it\, others are traumatized by it.  Some clergy are comfortable wearing it\, and others are not.  All of our responses to this visible symbol of office are informed by our values\, our histories\, our stories\, our power in society – those often unseen things that exist beneath the water lines of our lives.  Let’s get together for meaningful conversation\, and explore who we are as an intercultural community\, through the lens of the cultural iceberg we call the clergy collar. Here’s one suggested reading\, which may reflect the views of many in the church. And we’ll explore more views together.
