Search Team Training
Has your church begun searching for a new minister? Has a search team been formed? If so, they will need to be trained. Training can happen in two ways:

With your liaison
Online with Micol Cottrell, Pastoral Relations Minister (if you have a liaison, please invite your liaison to attend with you)

Training is mandatory for all search teams.
The online training is two hours and during this time we explore:

The search process
Working to understand and overcome the impact of bias
The various types of ministry personnel you will find on ChurchHub
Where to find resources for using ChurchHub
And more.

If you are interested in taking the training online please register at Search Team Training – Formstack.

Strawberry Thanksgiving and Communion - Online
2025-09-24 10:00 - 11:30 (America/Toronto) | Online via Zoom
Join us online Wednesday, September 24th at 10:00-11:30 AM for Strawberry Thanksgiving and Communion, and take your acknowledgement of Territory to the next level by considering the Spiritual Covenant.
Many congregations who have been acknowledging the territory for the past few years are asking what meaningful action they can take to move their acknowledgment from words to actions. You are invited to Strawberry Thanksgiving and Communion, an online opportunity to begin the conversation about making a spiritual covenant.
You’re warmly invited
to this special event featuring Adrian Jacobs of the Turtle Clan, Cayuga Nation, sharing on the Spiritual Covenant—a reflection on land, relationship, and reconciliation on Wednesday, September 24th, from 10:00-11:30 AM.
Adrian Jacobs will offer a leadership in this workshop and communion service that will inform and inspire the discernment of churches on any traditional territory who wish to consider concrete action to live into their acknowledgment of territory. The workshop and worship will be grounded in history and scripture, and will invite you to deeper relationship with the land and the peoples on the land, and the Creator, Christ and Spirit. (For more information about the Strawberry Thanksgiving and Communion and the Spiritual Covenant, see below.)
The road to a decision about a faithful action by your community of faith is an ongoing journey. Come prepared to engage and to learn, and then bring your reflections to your home church for prayerful consideration.
Bread and Juice for Communion
This workshop will include an online communion service, so have your own juice and bread ready. For juice, you are invited to honour Indigenous tradition with strawberry juice, a local Indigenous medicine. If you would like to make strawberry juice, here is a simple recipe you can use:
