This year, Aboriginal Ministry Sunday is on June 17th. We're celebrating 40 years of ministry at the CRC's Indigenous Christian Fellowship in Regina. Celebrate with us!
This year we're celebrating 40 years of ministry at the CRC's Indigenous Christian Fellowship in Regina.
This year's bulletin cover and insert provide more history about this ministry (formerly called the Indian Metis Christian Fellowship):
Here's a sneak peek:
"At the ministry, unity in Christ has been promoted through the daily weekday prayer ceremony which includes prayers in Christ’s name, smudging, Bible readings and reflections on Biblical teachings. The format of a healing circle for the prayer ceremony encourages each participant to be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry (James 1:19).
There have been many expressions of reconciliation that have come out of this ministry in Regina."
Aboriginal Ministry Sunday provides an opportunity for everyone in Canada to learn more about Indigenous peoples, their cultures and to celebrate the gifts and richness that Indigenous people bring to life in Canada. The CRC dedicates one Sunday both to recognize National Indigenous Peoples Day and to celebrate the Aboriginal Ministry of the CRC.
