Minutes for Mission 2019 - Singing for Inclusion - Duration: 3:01.

In St. John's Newfoundland, Stella's Circle has a mission to transform lives

through a number of outreach programs that are helping people overcome

barriers to successful inclusion in the community. One program now in its 11th

season is the Stella's Circle Inclusion Choir. There are no auditions for the

choir. It is composed of circle participants, staff and volunteers. The

choir has taken the stage for close to 100 performances. Everybody needs to feel

connected and it doesn't matter if it's a small group in St. John's Newfoundland,

it's everywhere. We're all the same that way, we flourish, we grow, we change, we

be our best, we can be our best selves when we're connected to other

people, connected to ourselves, connected to other people, feel accepted and

respected and certainly not judged. It's really important to have people be

included in their communities and a lot of the individuals that avail the

services of Stella's Circle sometimes feel as though they're excluded so it's

it's really special what's happening in the Inclusion Choir. To help

people feel included actually helps you in the process as well to realise that

you're not alone in any kind of struggle you might have.

Just sang of hope and pardon where you come from and just that everybody, we face

our own challenges and we overcome if you speak out against it. Don't hold it

inside because it doesn't get better like that. We have been given a gift, this song is

our song now and the contents of the song are a little bit about our choir.

It's part of you know where I've been, what I've been through and where I'm

headed to because no I'm not perfect today.

I may not be perfect tomorrow or the next day but hey, there's hope. That's

kind of what I've hung on to, is hope and that's, that's kind of what the

Inclusion Choir and Stella's Circle gives to me is there's hope.

First and foremost at Oak Table we offer a community of compassion and hope

for our guests. The one thing that we want to do is give people respite from

whatever troubles, whatever problems they have outside of here. And on top of that

we provide a very nutritious lunch for people, we want to make sure that their

stomachs are full when they leave here, and that they have someone to listen to.

For me I love that it's not just about the food and it's not just about

people being really hungry, or having nowhere else to go being homeless.

There're all kinds of different people who come here, and they come here for,

just for camaraderie. People who volunteer here and work here know

people's names when they come in the door. We have activities for people to do

and resources if they need it. Steven and I realized, okay maybe people on

the street, they're just... we're just all people, right? Everyone's so friendly

here, I've really gotten to know people, and it opened my eyes a lot too. I mean

even things like mental illness, there's so many people that need help and just

don't have access to the services they need, so it's really opened my eyes to a

lot of, I guess, social issues here and Winnipeg as well. I think it's important

for everybody to give back if they can. When they're in a position that they can,

then why not? And believe me, I get more out of this than I give. And so they need

somewhere that they can go and visit with their friends, and see their friends,

and talk to people, and make new friends, and so this is that place for them. The

support of the Mission and Service Fund is pivotal to Oak Table's survival and

success. We couldn't do it without knowing that we have that amount of

block funding available to us.

Minutes for Mission 2019 - Love what you do, Do what you love - Duration: 3:00.

My name is Sandra Nicholas. I'm the Executive Director of the Brunswick

Street Mission. The organization attempts to address people who are struggling

with poverty in various ways. We have a very, very small number of staff, four

people counting myself and as many as 100 volunteers, most of them fairly

consistent coming in on a regular basis to help in various roles. We have

volunteers in our breakfast program who help to make breakfast, serve people, wash

dishes. We have folks working in our clothing centre, receiving, sorting

donations and stocking a room where our visitors are able to look for what they

need. We have a food bank contingent, three or four of those once a week who

are really solid at getting that food in, sorted, shelved, distributed and assisting

people that way. We have volunteers assisting those who are experiencing a

financial crisis to look for support and things from that. Our tax return program

also uses volunteers and that's pretty important because without a tax return,

people could not access a lot of social services. Our trustee program has been

something we've been working on for the past 20 years. We have piloted that

program in partnership with Community Services. The concept is that it's for

people who are on Social Assistance, who are challenged to pay their bills,

challenges are many, there's not enough money for everything, the decisions made,

some, many folks have mental illnesses and addictions that they struggle with

and so handling money can be a really big challenge for folks and that can

result in homelessness when you don't pay the rent and power, so our first job

in that program is that we receive the person's income, we pay the rent and/or

power. We're able to negotiate with vendors like landlords in Nova Scotia

power to allow payback schemes that are very spread out as little as just a few

dollars a month to pay back an old, outstanding rent, allows the person to

remain in a rental situation with less risk of homelessness. We're able to coach

people around behaviours, a lot of folks struggle with anger management and other

issues. We can help them to find ways to approach different services

and supports for what they need. We help people with forms and applications such

as applying for CPP and help to find and access different programs from health

care to training programs. In all, we carry about 150 clients at a time and it

has made a difference in that those 150 or at very high risk of homelessness do

have a roof on their head and a stable home. When you support Mission and

Service, you are supporting the Brunswick Street Mission.

Minutes for Mission 2019 - Support for Women in Africa - Duration: 2:38.

The organization of African Instituted Churches was founded in 1978 in Cairo,

Egypt. The African independent churches is starting to work on reaching out

other churches in the ecumenical movement, and the interactions now and

fellowship with mainline churches is very cordial. If the founding of African

independent churches was a protest first of all for local control of access to

divine, and also for independence of African states learnt, and also economy

of the countries. But more importantly, propagation of culture. Now, when I look

and compare with the First Nations Aboriginal Ministries there is a lot of

similarity, because these are people who are rising up to reclaim their space. And

talking about the space is not just a space which we can call a place to feel

at home, but a place to feel that you belong.

A place to feel that you are where you are supposed to be, and you are

interacting with the divine as yourself. When I look at the relationship between

the United Church of Canada and the Aboriginal Ministries I see a lot of

solidarity from United Church of Canada to the Aboriginal Ministries, and that

seems also to have strengthened the Aboriginal Ministries' willingness, you

know, to give their stories without fear.

Your gifts to the Mission and Service of the United Church of Canada help to

support programs like this one. Thank you, and please continue to give.

Minutes for Mission 2019 - Five Oaks - A Sacred Place - Duration: 4:21.

The United Church of Canada's Five Oaks Education and Retreat Center was the

vision of Bev Odin in the 1950s. The first programs began in the summer of

1952. Five Oaks has gone through many changes over its 67 year history. In 2016

when the center was planning to close, a new vision rose from the ashes of the

past and Five Oaks was transformed into an Intercultural Center. Continuing its

partnership with Six Nations on whose sacred land Five Oaks sits, the center

has recently added a new partnership with the Muslim community. My name is

Michael Schuberg and I am the Operations Manager here at Five Oaks and I came to

be in this place because I have loved it for a long time and when the opportunity

came to join the team, I jumped at it. So programming that has happened continues to

be United Church focused so we still continue to offer our NEOS youth

ministry training programs, confirmation weekends, Avodah work camps, all sorts

of events for a variety of church organizations but as well

we have begun to offer programs for Indigenous community groups so we've had

warrior camp which is a training program for Indigenous youth. We have our native

peoples retreat coming up. We have grandmothers teas and water ceremonies.

We're about to build a purification lodge in the traditional Haudenosaunee

style.

We were afraid of losing the vision of what Five Oaks really is, a sacred place. It

was a hard way to get on a new journey but it was the best thing.

I'm Cindo Peterson, I'm part of the Board of Directors here at Five Oaks. You can't

smell me through the camera but right now I smell like campfire because we're

doing a youth retreat and burning lots of scrub brush to get ready for our next

season and new visitors here at Five Oaks. I became involved with the board as

a chapter was being written that Five Oaks may close and there was a group

of us ragtag group that came together and thought that perhaps Five Oaks could

live to write another chapter and maybe even a different book. We might have to

close one book and create a new book, a whole new story. This is sap, that is the

juice, that's the bloodline of the tree. You know the maple syrup that you like, that's the

beginnings of maple syrup. The sugars remain and the water boils

off to have the maple syrup but we're gonna go have lunch today. So at Five

Oaks, it seems to be this beautiful sacred space where people just come and

they listen to each other and that sharing in that space just permeates you

I don't know how else to describe it but there is something about the energy

of the land and the energy of the people that when we come together here, it

permeates a good word for it. You seem to be carrying a lot of wood today,

thank you. There you go enjoy. I just, I take a

little bit of you and you take a little bit of me and we take a little bit of a

land and we leave a little bit of ourself in one another and in the land.

Your gifts to the Mission and Service of The United Church of Canada help support

programs like these. Thank you and please continue to give.

Minutes for Mission 2019 - A Heritage of Welcome - Duration: 2:19.

My name is Kristen Hollery with St. Paul's Family Resources Institute. Right

now we're in our garden which has been in existence for 25 years. The mission of

St. Paul's Family Resources Institute is to undertake a Christian outreach

ministry of love and caring, for people whose needs are economical, social, or

educational, until they are more self-sufficient.

Some of the programs that we offer are: a community volunteer income tax program,

we have a summer camp for school-aged children, we run a soup's on program, and

we have a community garden, and we run a food bank.

Well we actually run two food banks in the community, and then we have a food

bank cafe as an aside to that. The community garden just celebrated its

25th anniversary. We have about 31 plots with about 40 to

45 gardeners. We have people from many cultures, many economic backgrounds here,

sharing the land and growing food together, which we think is a skill that

has been... that needs to be enhanced again, as we're losing that skill in the

community. The purpose of it is to provide space for those who do not have

space. Maybe they live in an apartment dwelling or right in the city and they

don't have an outside space in which to grow. Or maybe they are somebody who

needs help and there's others around who are committed to help them. It connects

us to the community of Spryfield, it provides a setting in which we have

functions two or three times a year, and all the community members/people of the

community are invited, so it helps us to show who we are and to show the

produce that we grow. And to be able to share that, it's a wealth

all of its own, a wealth far beyond money.

The beautiful way that he delivers his service, and the wonderful way in which he engages

the congregation, you know, sharing in that good news, having everybody equally participate

and contribute.

It's a beautiful thing; I love that about that church.

And then the discussion, the freedom to speak and share.

Programs we've had, like an out of school care program that we've had in the basement,

and they also have access to the upstairs as well... it's been around for over 25 years,

and so we've enjoyed them as one of our chief tenants.

Barry has a variety of programs and services he provides; 12 Step programs, there's AA,

Alanon, Children of Alcoholics, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and they have a Talking Circle.

All the people in the neighbourhood come, at one point or other.

A lot of the folks from downtown, because it's a native church, they're aware that we're

here.

We try to provide a weekly lunch after our service, and people aren't obliged to come

to the service to join us for lunch, simply because we're encouraging people to sit down

and talk to one another.

Although that's not mandatory either!

Sometimes it's just over as soon as people can gobble down a bowl of soup and/or a full

course meal.

Well the Mission & Service grant to the Longhouse Ministry has always been important.

Definitely grateful for the funds received, because, as we say in our yearly application

for that, our yearly grant submission, we probably couldn't exist without it, certainly

not for very long.

Minutes for Mission 2019 - Hope Under the Rainbow - Duration: 2:27.

The goal of Rainbow Camp would be to save space for the kids, to educate them

and to make them feel a part of something. You know these are our young

people who've gone through hell and back 51 weeks out of the year. Because so many

of our kids are coming to us from broken homes, are lonely, are isolated whether in

the city or rural areas these kids are feeling alone and the one thing that we

can give them even if it's only for five days is a sense of community. It makes me

wish that I was still young enough to be here 2012 when the camp opened. If

you're under the LGBTQ2+ umbrella then you're gonna meet people that you

can relate to and talk to and support you and if even if you're not, you're

gonna meet people that are gonna have so many stories to help you come out as a

more educated and just more well-rounded person. The more society grows hopefully

the less we will need Rainbow Camp. You're coming out with support group no

matter who you are. It's incredible, it's giving LGBTQ2+ kids an

opportunity to experience camp and to feels safe and to feel comfortable and

to enjoy one of those things that many kids get to enjoy without being worried

about judgement or being mistreated or bullied because of who they are.
