    St Paul’s United Church 10206 – 100 Avenue, Grande Prairie, AB T8V 0V6 In February and into March we had a number of people that took time to reflect on and share why they go to church. Some shared why this church family is important to them, some why this denomination feels right for them and some just why they need a church family wherever they may be. One Sunday, we switched it up and sang favorite songs that reminded us of someone – and shared a little bit about that special someone). All of these stories reinforced that we are not alone, and relationships matter. (See some of the stories on pp 6,7,8) At the Annual meeting and over the next few weeks we are asking each person who attends St Paul’s to reflect on their passions and say where they want to spend their time and effort to help us make a difference in the lives of the people around us. I hope you find a place to feel needed and loved in this church family and build some new relationships and passions that feed your soul. Let’s all be courageous! PLEASE take a set of coloured stickers and write on your name and phone number. Then paste it where your passions lie to show where you are currently / continuing to serve or where you wish to try something new in the mission and ministry of St. Paul’s for the immediate future. Communications - Stewardship – Pastoral Care – Christian Development – Council – Ministry Teams. Feed your passion and your soul.

    Immanuel United Church March 24/25, 2000 “The Long Journey Toward Healing: Reflections on the United Church of Canada and First Nations Communities” Marion Best, Naramata B.C. What I propose to do in these two sessions, this evening and tomorrow, is to share personal reflections of my own steps on this long journey, to share some historical material, to tell about some healing initiatives and give theological reflection on the matter. There will be opportunity for discussion of the material presented as well as time to share your own experience in small groups and plenary time for you to share stories and points of view or to ask questions. These reflections involve each of us members of Canadian society as much as members of the United Church of Canada. There is so much more to the story than Residential Schools: racism, unemployment, land rights and land claims, the penal system and issues of self government to mention a few. Oka, Gustafson Lake, Burnt Church the Nisga treaty have caught the attention of many Canadians. But it is the residential schools and their legacy that has brought the attention of the churches into focus on matters related to First Nations peoples. Of the over 6000 law suits commenced across Canada arising from operation of the schools, so far about 300 have implicated the United Church along with the federal government. After two years, the Port Alberni case in B.C. which involved a conviction of sexual abuse by a dormitory supervisor, is still before the courts, and is at the stage of assessing damages.
