Of Values and Identity Part 3

May 22, 2023

Hey folks – This week is an “Online Exclusive” Sunday. We’ll gather on our Facebook page here at 10:45 a.m.  If you have anything you want to share with the community (it seems like several of us are dealing with the challenges of providing care for aging parents these days, for instance), please post it to our Facebook page (same link as above) so I can share it on Sunday morning. We’ll go from that to the Talky Bit, which will also be recorded and podcast later in the week. You can always find the podcasts here.

We continue our efforts to raise the necessary funds to operate and welcome any and all contributions. Gifts are eligible for a donation receipt. Information about ways to donate online or to set up a regular auto withdrawal can be found here. Options include Paypal, etransfer and good old fashioned cheques. If you have any questions pertaining to this part of our life together, please don’t hesitate to ask. Transparency is a high value for us, and we welcome your inquiry.

Next Sunday (May 28th) is a Full Circle Sunday. I’ll send out more info about that in the blurb next week.

The week after that (June 4th) is an alt.Sunday. As usual, we have something completely different lined up. We’re planning to meet at the Kapabamayak Achaak Healing Forest that morning. This is how the keepers of this space describe its mission:

Kapabamayak Achaak Healing Forest honors Indigenous children lost to or affected by the residential school system, and offers a place for learning and teaching about all injustices from colonialism and racism, past and present. The sharing of our collective stories is a pathway to understanding All Our Relations.

 

You can learn more and get a look at the space here. The forest is located in St John’s Park, near the corner of Fowler St and Anderson Ave – across from St John’s Cathedral. Here’s the location on Google:

I would encourage you to mark this date and attend if possible. It might also be an excellent occasion to invite someone who is unfamiliar with The Table. I’ll send out more info in upcoming blurbs.

In the meantime, I’ll see you on Sunday!
Peace,

Tim Plett
