Monthly OutreachDuring the month of May your Social Justice and Outreach Team [SJOT] will be bringing focus on the North Island Ministries. This was the focus of Bishop Ana during her December Fund Raising Dinner. The Bishop spoke about what she had seen in her travels across the Diocese. She shared some stories about churches in the north of the island, which have a particular charisma for outreach and reconciliation. All funds raised from that evening were directed to ministry in the north of our diocese. Following are a couple of sites to visit on the Diocesan website: https://faithtides.ca/gwasala-nakwaxdaxw-nations-building-hope-for-the-future/ https://bc.anglican.ca/diocesan-ministries/reconciliation-beyond “As a Diocese we seek to live out our baptismal covenant to respect the dignity of every human being and to safeguard the integrity of God's Creation. We understand ourselves to be at the beginning of the long road to Truth and Reconciliation. Our churches seek to welcome all of God's children as beloved.” St George’s Social Justice and Outreach Team asks for your support and prayers for this Diocesan Ministry. |
