What’s in the pretty bag? Dinner from the fab ch What’s in the pretty bag? Dinner from the fab children youth and families team of Molly, Nicole and Caitlin. Molly invited families to dinner with a great recipe so we could gather around a simple dinner! As a working mom, I was extra grateful for this time to connect with our church family and get nourished...#familymeals, #gathering #christstable #churchfamily #youthministy #familyministry

Being around Dawn Pemberton is always a treat and Being around Dawn Pemberton is always a treat and not only because she is a talented choral leader, singer, artist and musician. Dawn is also an example of the kind of powerful discipleship that Jesus spoke about so often. In prepping for this week’s service on the connection between the arts, spirituality and social justice, Dawn prepared a testimony where she said “I try to minister through daily actions.” How perfect! A simple and clear reminder that our life is the creative clay of how we might show God in the world. Sometimes my ideas about what social justice is and what it should look like get in the way of actually doing it. Rather than worrying if what I can offer is large enough, or systemic enough, I wonder if I would be better off in trusting in my heart and my soul a bit more, and offering the testimony of my life. Tapping into our creativity might not result in a Rembrandt or a Susan Point, but this divine creativity is something we all have access to. It not only allows us to make art (great or not so great) but gives us new ideas and ways to address the suffering of the world. We need some extra creativity right now to face the issues in our communities and maybe it helps to remember that God’s first acts in Scripture were creative ones. We can lean on this creative muscle to figure out how to do better in our interpersonal relationships, how to tackle critical issues like climate change or homelessness, or how to unstick ourselves from behaviours that are doing us harm. In doing so, we just might find Spirit guiding us to new things… May it be so, Rhian #dawnpemberton #revrhian #artspiritualityjusticeseries #standrewswesleyunitedchurch

British Columbia saw 1068 deaths from drug use, ma British Columbia saw 1068 deaths from drug use, making it the 3rd highest year for drug-related deaths since 2010. There are many myths, assumptions, and values that make talking about drug-related death so challenging. Join this zoom gathering and have a chance to ask questions and explore this topic with others with guest speakers, Dr. Derek Chang, a physician who works in recovery and addiction, and Deb Bailey of Moms Stop the Harm @momsstoptheharm , an advocacy group created by parents impacted by substance-use.

“Stay in your room!” But they don’t. The th “Stay in your room!” But they don’t. The three friends always find a way to get together. They have a key to each other’s room as well as adjacent doors. No one has told the Chaperone yet. And given that these three have a direct link to a magnificent creative stream, well, let’s just say they have a lot of fun and sometimes get into some really good trouble. Art, Spirituality and Social Justice have been friends for ages, literally. And while the Chaperone – our logical mind – loves to keep them apart for neat and tidy classification, they basically ignore that voice. They’re in each other’s business all the time, which infuriates the Chaperone, mostly because it’s messy and confuses the categorization (but makes the party a whole lot more fun). For the next couple of weeks, we’ll explore this powerful interweaving of beauty, faith and justice. This Sunday, the Rev. Cheryl Bear, recently called to First United Church as the Director of Community Ministry, brings story, song and poem to her reflection on Art, Spirituality and Social Justice. This Wednesday, November 18th, we’ll explore the topic further with Phil Porter who, among many other accomplishments, served for 25 years as the Artist in Residence at the First Congregational Church of Berkeley. (7– 830pm; Register Here) Next Sunday, November 22nd, the amazing Dawn Pemberton joins Curt Allison and Rhian Walker as they playfully and thoughtfully explore the creative arm of God. And on Wednesday, November 25th, Keith Murray will zoom from Calgary where he serves as minister to the LGBTQ community with Hillhurst United. Though Keith is a first-year student at the Vancouver School of Theology, he was the first artist-in-residence at the Institute for Art Religion and Social Justice at Union Theological Seminary in New York. (7– 830pm; Register Here) Whether in worship or in Wednesday evening conversations, we hope you can be part of this exploration of faith. Dan Chambers
