Seeking: Energy on Youth Council

justgeneration.ca Seeking: Energy on Youth Council

The youth network of The Primate's World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF) needs your help! We are a national Council of young people who are passionate about justice, faith and the work of PWRDF. We are young adults aged 16-30 from all across Canada, full of energy and passion, and we are looking to fill some vacancies on Council starting this Spring! Are you the kind of person who is responsible, committed to justice work, loves to travel, works well in a group setting and wants to make a difference? Do you know someone who is all of those things?

Youth Council is made up of representatives from all 4 of the Ecclesiastical Provinces of the Anglican Church of Canada, as well as reps from PWRDF's partners, like the ELCIC (Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada), Development and Peace, and the Student Christian Movement. It is a very diverse crowd, and we need to get even more diverse with fresh new faces. Currently we are seeking:


• two (2) representatives from the Province of British Columbia/Yukon,
• one (1) representative from the Province of Rupertsland,
• one (1) representative from the Province of Ontario, and
• one (1) representative from the Province of Canada.

Members of Council are appointed for one term of two years, with the option to renew their term for another two. We meet face-to-face twice a year in locations all of over Canada, once in the fall and once in the spring. In between meetings we all work hard promoting the work of PWRDF where we live, helping to run local events and educate congregations. The Council has occasional teleconferences in between the face-to-face meetings.

Many members of Council have had the opportunity to go on Partner visits to places like Burundi, Bangladesh and Brazil. Others have gone on to sit on the PWRDF Board of Directors. The Council has been represented at Justice Camps and youth ministry forums, and is building a very good reputation within Primate's Fund and the wider Anglican Church.

It also goes without saying the Council is a lot of fun! Members really enjoy the time we spend together working hard towards goals and developing our shared passion, but we also have a great time when we're not working – you'll find yourself making fast friends with members.

Do you see yourself working with 15 other young people your own age to help make the world a better place? Well then, fill in the questionnaire below before March 4th, 2011!

A new bible study designed to help parish communities consider their gifts and vocation in God’s mission is now available.

 

Created by a small group of lay and clergy from the Diocese of Montreal as an initiative of the Ministry Action Plan (MAP)  implementation team, this 5-week study uses the Marks of Mission along with biblical text to encourage us to “go out in the world to share God’s Good News, in action steeped in love”.

 

Perfect for lent, Eastertide or even at the beginning of the working year in September, the study is flexible, dynamic and enriching.

Attention Lay Readers!

A Seminar on Preaching

with The Rev'd Canon Herbert O'Driscoll

Saturday, March 5th starting at 10am at Trinity Anglican Church, 321 Main Avenue, Halifax

Registration upon arrival

~ lunch provided ~

 

From one preacher to another...

These few lines are really an invitation to spend a few hours on Saturday March 5th thinking about the preaching ministry we all share. I find there is a difference between the demands of preaching as a full time priest in a parish and those of preaching from time to time as a Layreader. I have always felt that if we are asking men and women to take on the work of a Layreader, and if this work entails preaching from time to time, then there should be as many opportunities as possible given to them to do so, if only because the more frequently we preach the more we have a chance to develop our preaching.

I know that circumstances vary widely and that it is often not possible to give a Layreader regular, or something approaching regular, opportunities. All I am saying is that the more we can so the better for everyone.

All of this is by way of introducing a couple of thoughts about our Saturday. Rather than look at particular lections of the season (Lent and Easter) - as I'm going to do with clergy on the Monday - I think we will best use our time together on Saturday by thinking about preaching in general, about ways of doing it, about demands and challenges we face today as we try to communicate Christian faith.  Perhaps we can also give a bit of time to sharing about what we find satisfying about preaching and what we find stressful.  

Maybe we won't cover all this, but we'll try. Meanwhile if you wish, feel free to send me a few lines saying what you might hope for from this Saturday.

Blessings

Herb.

WORSHIP & CONCERTS IN OUR PARISHES

 

Re: Cancellation of Dartmouth Three Cantors Concert

 

With the deepest of regret and with concern for the safety of all persons and in consultation with the performers I, as chair of the Pastoral Ministry Committee, made the decision to cancel the concert which was to have been held on Wednesday, February 2.  I wish to thank all people who bought tickets for themselves and for others as gifts – a tremendous disappointment for all concerned.

 

Each year our Pastoral Ministry Committee sponsors one event for the ‘Outreach Portion’ of our mandate and this was the event. The principal beneficiary of the event was designated The Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF) - a celebration of 50+ years of this program which began following and in response to the Springhill Mine disaster in the late 50’s.  Christ Church shared in this venture of bringing the Three Cantors to our diocese with two other parishes – St. John’s Church, Lunenburg and the Parish of Three Harbours, Antigonish. You will appreciate that part of the ticket price was pre-designated for airfare, accommodations, meals and travel to the various concert venues which we still have an obligation to honour.

 

It was our hope that the concert would be rescheduled in the near future and thus all ticket holders were encouraged to keep their tickets. However, at the moment a concert will not in all probability happen this calendar year for the Cantors are completely booked for the remainder of 2011. For those who wish to consider the $20.00 as a donation we thank you and for those who would wish a 2011 Income Tax Receipt we request you to return your ticket(s) with your address to the parish office: Christ Church, P.O. Box 473, Stn M, Dartmouth, N.S. B2Y 3Y8.

 

After all expenses have been paid any remaining funds will be forwarded to PWRDF as was the original intention of the event.

 

Many thanks for so enthusiastically supporting this cause,
