SUMMARY:Church Redevelopment & Reconciliation: An Indigenous & Settler Perspective
DESCRIPTION:First CRC Vancouver is hosting a Reimagining Church Properties Conference on Tuesday\, March 12 and Wednesday\, March 13. Tuesday evening\, 7 pm\, is also a stand-alone lecture called Church Redevelopment & Reconciliation: An Indigenous & Settler Perspective with Keynote lecturer Adrian Jacobs\, Senior Leader for Indigenous Justice and Reconciliation (in the CRC Canada). Resonate Western Mission is also a sponsor. \nI know this seems much more like a big city issue then some of the other places CRCs are located across BC\, but with BC’s Bill 44 on Housing Statutes coming in June\, there might be some churches all around the province who are located nearby transit hubs and might be impacted by new questions around stewarding our spaces. So\, any interested leaders across BC are invited to attend. \nNote: people can register for online or in-person. \nFacilitator: CityGate

SUMMARY:Conversations on Hopeful Citizenship in a Divided World
DESCRIPTION:God’s call to justice\, and our walk as faithful citizens in this world\, inspires passionate debate. Sometimes these debates descend into polarization that sounds like: “Its Us vs. Them… and them are “no-good-evil-doers.” \nIn this workshop we’ll discuss mutual respect as salt and light Christian witness in today’s political climate. We’ll share stories\, draw on some CRC Justice and Reconciliation ministries resources and remember that hope is action we take in community.

SUMMARY:Circle of Grace Training
DESCRIPTION:Circle of Grace is a Christian safe environment curriculum used and promoted in the CRCNA that helps teach the value of positive relationships with God and others. Circle of Grace educates and empowers children and young people to actively participate in a safe environment both for themselves and with others. \nIt is never too early to help children understand how they are created in the image of God and how\nrelationships in life are called to be sacred. Understanding this can help children and youth protect\nthemselves\, while at the same time be respectful of and toward others. \nCircle of Grace helps children and youth know how to: \n\nIdentify and maintain appropriate physical\, emotional\, spiritual\, and sexual boundaries.\nRecognize when boundary violations are about to occur.\nDemonstrate how to take action when boundaries are threatened or violated.\n\nKey Concepts of Circle of Grace: \n\nGod gives each of us a Circle of Grace where God is present.\nGod is present because God desires a relationship with us.\nGod helps us know what belongs in our Circle of Grace & what does not belong in our Circle of Grace.\nGod helps us know when to ask for help from someone we trust.\n\nNote: Circle of Grace is intended to supplement a K-12 church education curriculum for 1-4 weeks per year. Teachers can often draw from the concepts throughout the year embedding them into your child/youth ministry. \n*Safe Church ministry will support each church in establishing Circle of Grace into your current curriculum. \nView the CIRCLE of GRACE Introduction Video \nContact info: \n\nLiz Tolkamp: ltolkamp@crcna.org  604-996-3183\nFaye Martin: Faye@bcsafechurch.com 604-850-5137
