ICM 10 x 10 Art Auction
2020-11-02 - 2020-11-19 | Online Event
The 10×10 Art Show is back!
In March, ICM launched the 11th season of the 10×10 art project. It draws together artists from many diverse backgrounds, who live in, work in and support Saskatoon’s Core neighborhoods. The show brings together experienced artists and new ones; indigenous, metis and new immigrants; artists with jobs and those who struggle. Together their art is their voice- a glimpse into their diverse journeys.
COVID has forced us to think of new ways to complete the show. Instead of an in-person show, bidding will take place online Nov. 2nd – 19th.
The bidding site will go live Nov. 2nd at 7 am showing the art and comments from the artists.

Ministry Personnel Gatherings
2020-11-10 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Regina) | Zoom
Interest has been raised in having some focussed time during the Ministry Personnel Gatherings (Tuesdays, at 1:00pm). So, for the next few weeks, these gatherings will be 90 minutes, beginning with general announcements, small group check-in (10 mins), and a focussed topic. Ministry Personnel are warmly invited to attend any part of the gathering that will be useful. The schedule is as follows: Today – creative options to connect folks off-line

Upcoming dates:

November 12 – pre-Advent retreat with Marg
November 17 – creating an online worship component exchange (sermon, prayers, music, children’s time, engaging scripture reading, etc.)

Please note there is a new Zoom link that includes a password: [REDACTED]

Entering Advent in a time of Crisis: Bah Humbug or Hope-Filled Anticipation?
2020-11-12 01:00 - 16:00 | Zoom
Ministry personnel only with Marg Janick-Grayston
The advent season takes us on a journey towards Christmas, the ultimate symbol of hope, love and giving. For many of us it has become a time for family gatherings, big feasts around the table, and the exchange of gifts and hugs. But, with COVID, and distancing, and tiny bubbles of contact in our midst, we may feel more like Ebenezer Scrooge whose response to Christmas was “Bah Humbug” because it lacked meaning for him. With everything that is going on, it may feel harder for us this year to enter this season with hope-filled anticipation. In our time together we will be checking into our “internal weather forecast” to see how we, and the communities of faith we relate to, are entering the Advent Season. Secondly, we will consider why this season overflows with hope from a historical perspective, and where hope is showing up today. Lastly, we will review some research information on the negative and positive effects of faith in a time of crisis, and brainstorm ways to acknowledge people’s struggles, as well as embrace our faith in the most positive of ways to reconnect us with hope.
