Alcris Limongi \n\nThe Rev. Alcris Limongi was born in Venezuela and has been a member of the United Church of Canada since 1996. She has served the Church in different capacities. She was a Th.D. candidate in NT at Emmanuel College and the Racial Justice\, Gender Justice and Sexual Minorities Program Coordinator at the General Council Office. She also was the Liaison to the UCW National and to Affirm United. She was the staff lead for the GC40 Commitment to Inclusion\, and has served as facilitator of the UC Racial Justice Mandatory training since 2009. As an Ordained Minister she served at Parkdale United Church in Ottawa for five years and currently is part of the Center for Christian Studies in Winnipeg staff team as Program/Educator. \nShe offers both experience and perspective from our national denomination structures a well from a local-congregational community and based ministries. \nRev. Alcris trained in Courageous Conversations about Race with the Pacific Educational Group. The focus has been identifying systemic racism and racial differential gaps\, as well as facilitating Courageous Conversations. \nHer own identity as a racialized woman in Canada\, her life experience between marginality and privilege in different ways\, combined with a sound theological education\, and personal and theological commitment to justice\, have helped her develop a particular lens\, what she calls “the gift of her brown eyes” to the Church. Her passion is to encourage racial majority and minorities to engage together identifying\, naming\, interrogating\, interrupting and dismantling racism. She is a teacher/preacher/facilitator with creativity\, flexibility\, and openness to respectfully listen and learn from cultural differences. She adds “English is not my native language\, which is both strength and weakness. It is a strength because with language I also bring different perspectives of defining and understanding reality”. \n\nThis is not an introduction to anti-racism\, but is intended for people who have engaged in some previous anti-racism training. If you are not sure if your previous anti-racism work has prepared you for this session\, contact Thérèse Samuel tsamuel@united-church.ca  \n  \nRegistration information coming soon.

SUMMARY:Strawberry Thanksgiving and Communion – Online
DESCRIPTION:Join us online Wednesday\, September 24th at 10:00-11:30 AM for Strawberry Thanksgiving and Communion\, and take your acknowledgement of Territory to the next level by considering the Spiritual Covenant.  \nMany congregations who have been acknowledging the territory for the past few years are asking what meaningful action they can take to move their acknowledgment from words to actions. You are invited to Strawberry Thanksgiving and Communion\, an online opportunity to begin the conversation about making a spiritual covenant. \nYou’re warmly invited\nto this special event featuring Adrian Jacobs of the Turtle Clan\, Cayuga Nation\, sharing on the Spiritual Covenant—a reflection on land\, relationship\, and reconciliation on Wednesday\, September 24th\, from 10:00-11:30 AM. \nAdrian Jacobs will offer a leadership in this workshop and communion service that will inform and inspire the discernment of churches on any traditional territory who wish to consider concrete action to live into their acknowledgment of territory. The workshop and worship will be grounded in history and scripture\, and will invite you to deeper relationship with the land and the peoples on the land\, and the Creator\, Christ and Spirit. (For more information about the Strawberry Thanksgiving and Communion and the Spiritual Covenant\, see below.) \nThe road to a decision about a faithful action by your community of faith is an ongoing journey. Come prepared to engage and to learn\, and then bring your reflections to your home church for prayerful consideration. \nBread and Juice for Communion\nThis workshop will include an online communion service\, so have your own juice and bread ready. For juice\, you are invited to honour Indigenous tradition with strawberry juice\, a local Indigenous medicine.  If you would like to make strawberry juice\, here is a simple recipe you can use:\nhttps://tworowtimes.com/healthy-roots/jihsodahk-the-leader-of-the-plants/. If you are not able to use strawberry juice\, feel free to bring any fruit juice of your choice. \nRegister in advance for this event:\nhttps://united-church.zoom.us/meeting/register/2BNM7atZRhKNuAGAeO_1nA\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRead More Here
