How do we find space to step away from the anxious voices to be held by the calm places that can grant us rest? \nOver four sessions\, Sylvia Keesmaat will delve deeply into the wisdom of the biblical story to explore how those who lived in the shadow of empire in biblical times created communities of lament\, resistance\, and hope. Each session will weave together biblical texts in dialogue with a current crisis: environmental collapse\, genocide\, abusive political power\, and the oppression of the marginalized. \nDrawing also on the wisdom of Indigenous writers and Palestinian Christians\, we will dare to dream of a community where lament helps to carry our grief\, hope enables us to imagine a healing future\, and resistance binds us together in love. \nFor Further Information about the Conference\, Workshops\, How to Register to attend either in person or on line\, and other details\, see: annualconference.ca URL:https://ecorcuccan.ca/event/annual-theology-conference-2/ LOCATION:Bells Corners United Church\, 3955 Old Richmond Road\, Ottawa\, Ontario\, K2H 5C5\, Canada CATEGORIES:Annual Theology Conference,Call for Interest,Clergy,Educational ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://ecorcuccan.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Screenshot-2026-06-22-122246.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20261008T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20261008T150000 DTSTAMP:20260715T124906Z CREATED:20260715T124906Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260715T124906Z UID:137160-1791448200-1791471600@ecorcuccan.ca SUMMARY:East Central Ontario Region UCW Leadership Workshop DESCRIPTION:Women from across the region will gather to learn and share ideas useful for leadership in their local settings.\nMorning Speaker: Fiza Kalhoro: Advocacy work for Sindhi Women’s Rights in Pakistan.\nAfternoon Speaker: Jackie Harper: insight into why we use pronouns.\nRegistration and refreshments – 8:30\nProgram begins – 9:30\nLunch included.

Ruhnke DESCRIPTION:‘Singing 4 the Love of It’ workshop with Dr. Mark W. Ruhnke! \nJoin us at Faith United Church in Courtice\, ON on Saturday May 2nd\, 2026 from 1pm – 3pm to for this incredible opportunity to work with Dr. Mark.\nIf you’d love to sing\, but have been told “you can’t sing” or you “just mouth the words\,” this workshop is for you. Dr. Mark created the ‘Sing 4 the Love of It’ program for non-singers who wanted to sing\, but didn’t feel comfortable or safe doing so. He created a safe environment for people to come together and sing without fear of judgement or any performance expectations. Over time it led to a noticeable increase in the confidence of his congregation’s singing during Sunday worship. If you are interested in becoming more comfortable with your singing\, or to encourage members of your congregation to sing\, come join us for a workshop with Dr. Mark Rhunke. \nTo guarantee a spot\, please e-transfer $15 to ‘donations@faithunited.ca’ with ‘Music Workshop’ in the memo area.

Dr. Ingram will be present and will answer your pressing questions and concerns following the viewing.
