Shining Waters Regional Council Prayer Cycle:

Today we pray for:   Emmanuel United Church, Brampton Lemonville United Church, Stouffville Burton Ave United Church, Barrie Weston King Neighbourhood Centre, Toronto    

Minute For Mission:

 We have learned that intergenerational trauma runs deep. The legacy of Indian Residential Schools continues to affect every generation as Indigenous parents struggle to educate their children in the ways of their people. In spring 2018, six youth travelled from Winnipeg to Sagkeeng First Nation in Fort Alexander, Manitoba, to attend a Zam-mi-nan aki (“Touch the Earth”) cultural retreat at the world-renowned Turtle Lodge
