St. Andrew’s and the Road to Reconciliation
Please join the Mission Team at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 23, 2022, in welcoming back Ernie Poundmaker, Wallace Alexson and Perry Agicotay.
These Indigenous elders and neighbours first visited St. Andrew’s on October 13, 2021, to talk about their experiences with Residential Schools. They are returning to participate with us in a Sharing Circle as the first steps on the Road to Reconciliation.
This is an important event marking the beginning the healing process between the people of St. Andrew’s and our Indigenous neighbours.
Sharing Circles often are known as Healing Circles and are led by First Nations elders as a way to allow people to share their feelings and ask questions in an intimate and caring environment. The elders who lead these circles have many years of experience and knowledge in First Nations customs.
They have put their trust in us to follow through on our good intentions. We would be grateful to have Session’s and the Congregation’s support at this event.
Our Sharing Circle will be a hybrid time of sharing, with people invited to participate in person in Trinity Hall (proof of vaccination, masks and distancing are required) or by Zoom.
