Mapping the Ground We Stand On

Covenant Prayer Creator God, from you every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. You have rooted and grounded us in your covenant love, and empowered us by your Spirit to speak the truth in love, and to walk in your way towards justice and wholeness. Mercifully grant that your people, journeying together in partnership, may be strengthened and guided to help one another to grow into the full stature of Christ, who is our light and our life. Amen.

“My truth as a settler has been one sided, from the settler viewpoint “My truth as a settler has been one sided, from the settler viewpoint. The history taught in our schools does not have a First nations, Métis or Inuit perspective. I am here to learn facts and truths I do not know.”
