On Thursday, September 30 we will gather on Zoom to screen the film "We Were Children" and engage in discussions about decolonizing, reconciliation, and our faith. Check the Cityview WhatsApp group or contact the church office to get the Zoom link.
Orange shirt day is September 30th and we plan to spend Reconciliation Week listening and learning.
The Cityview community is encouraged to prepare by:
getting your hands on an orange shirt,
self-educating (www.orangeshirtday.org),
and praying (www.sanctuarymentalhealth.org/race-mental-health-and-faith-resources/).
