2010 Legacy Fund for Lay Ministry
Where would the Church be without lay people?
Paul reminds us that all are needed for the building up of the Body of Christ, the Church. Gifts have been given to all people who are called to be a part of the body. These gifts are sacred treasures that need to be developed and supported by the whole body. We all depend on each other and by doing so the body grows and prospers. Lay people depend on the Clergy many times throughout their lives for support, advice, spiritual guidance and help of many kinds. The Clergy depend even more heavily on these same Lay people for help in carrying out their vocations. The work of Christ in the Church would not be possible without the gifts and vocation of our dedicated Lay people.
“Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers; then deeds of power, then gifts of healing, forms of assistance, forms of leadership, various kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? Do all possess the gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? But strive for the greater gifts.” (1 Corinthians 12:27-31)
If it weren’t for Lay people who would listen to those interesting sermons? Who would put the coffee on for coffee hour? Who would sing the new hymns? Who would teach the children? Who would raise the money? Who would help plan the programs? Who would take the Church out into the world? Who would mow the grass in the cemeteries? Who would keep our books? Who would create our bulletins and parish newsletters? Who would help the clergy visit the sick and shut-in? Who would help the priest with our new and exciting liturgies?
The clergy are able to develop their gifts and learn new skills through continuing education programs in the Church. Many such programs do exist for lay people but there is little financial support in our diocese to help them take advantage of these opportunities. “2010 Legacy Fund” is an endowment fund set up in our diocese to meet the needs of lay people who would further their skills and gifts for the building up of the Body of Christ. This fund is the legacy project of “300 - A Journey Just begun 1710-2010". It will provide leadership for our journey into the future for ourselves, our children, and the Church in the world.
Programs to enhance the music of the Church, church architecture and design, liturgy and worship, church accounting, new forms of worship, education for children, education for seniors, education for youth, computer publishing skills, etc. There are many gifts but they are all of the Spirit and our people need to feel that the whole body supports them in their callings.
Your gift to 2010 Legacy Fund will provide funding for the future of our mission in our diocese and, thereby, fulfill our Lord’s command to go into the world and preach the good news to all people. Thank you for your vision and support.
PARISH CLERY AND ADMINISTRATIORS - Please include in your bulletin:
BULLETIN ANNOUNCEMENT
THE 300 FUND FOR LAY TRAINING
The 300 Fund for Lay Training is our legacy for the future of our church’s training of lay people. It will be used to help lay people develop their gifts for the work of our church through education. Your contribution will enable our church to move forward with informed and empowered lay people. Please give generously.
Please forward donations to the Diocese, attention: Jana O'Neil.
Deadline for Application is Sept. 15, 2010

Day of Action
For Civil Liberties
Demand an Independent Public Inquiry
Defend Civil Liberties
RALLY & MARCHSaturday, July 10 at 2:00 p.m.
Grand Parade Square, HALIFAX, NS
(Outside Halifax City Hall, between Barrington & Argyle Streets)
Event on Facebook: http://j.mp/civliberThis Saturday, July 10th, a Pan-Canadian Day of Action for Civil Liberties has been called by a broad cross-section of civil society organizations to voice opposition to the excessive use of police force and an unprecedented curtailment of civil liberties during the G20 summit in Toronto. Over $1.2 billion was spent on security that was used to limit the freedoms of people to protest and speak out for social justice during the Summit.
Over 25,000 people marched on Saturday, June 26 to raise legitimate criticisms about the G20 and its agenda. Under the pretext of stopping vandalism, the police descended upon peaceful protesters and confused passers-by with force that was disproportionate, arbitrary and excessive, and that included raids, rubber bullets, tear gas and pre-emptive detentions. In total, More than 1,000 people were detained based on dubious legislation that purportedly granted sweeping new powers to the police.
It was the largest mass arrest in Canadian history and served to stifle dissent and distract the public's attention from bigger questions, including: the economy, jobs, public services, global poverty, climate change, Indigenous rights, migrant and undocumented workers? rights, women's rights, human rights, peace, inequality and social justice.
This Saturday, July 10th, a Day of Action for Civil Liberties will take place in Halifax. The rally will be held at Grand Parade on Barrington Street (by Halifax City Hall) at 2:00pm.
Demonstrate your opposition to the excessive use of police force and the unprecedented curtailment of basic civil liberties such as freedoms of assembly and expression. Demand a comprehensive independent public inquiry. Join the Day of Action for Civil Liberties in Halifax.
