SUMMARY:Churches Caring for Creation: Idea Exchange (Hamilton\, ON)
DESCRIPTION:What can churches do to care for creation?\nJoin A Rocha Ontario\, True City and St. Cuthbert’s Church on Saturday\, October 18th for our joint event “Churches Caring for Creation – Idea Exchange.” \nBuilding from last year’s event\, we are inviting you to join us to explore and discuss how Christian communities and their leaders can get involved with creation care. More people are becoming interested in making creation care part of the way they serve God and neighbour\, but sometimes it can be hard to know where to start or where to go next on this journey. So join us for an afternoon of inspiration\, conversation\, and encouragement!  At this event\, we’ll hear stories and insights from experienced panelists from different congregations. Click here (or scroll down) to learn more about our speakers/panelists: Cindy Stover\, Marcée Lane\, and Rob Miller. We’ll also have the opportunity to ask our panel questions and engage in smaller group discussions to share creation care tips\, ideas\, and challenges. \nThis event will be hosted at St. Cuthbert’s Church (Hamilton\, ON) from 1PM – 3PM\, and is open to adults. Light refreshments will be served. \nAnyone interested is welcome to attend. Whether you’re in a leadership role or not\, a member of a church or not\, please come and join the conversation. Register (for free) below. \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n            \n\n    \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n\n\n\n    \n    \n\nChurches Caring Creation: Idea Exchange Event - Registration\n\nRegistration for the Church's Churches Caring for Creation - Idea Exchange event is free!

Cindy seeks to empower people to bear the image of Creator God as we enact justice in every area of our lives\, from how we shop\, to how we talk to our neighbours\, to how our communities respond to the most vulnerable. She can often be found reading a good book around a campfire\, or watching a BBC miniseries with her cats and a cup of tea. Her favourite colour is sparkle. \nMarcée Lane\nAs a pastor at Forestview\, Marcée and her church want people to meet Jesus and become more like him. One of the ways that they seek to do this is by loving creation better. In the past\, Forestview had a beekeeping ministry and currently\, they partner with A Rocha Ontario by hosting three bird boxes as part of Project NEST. Forestview also founded an outreach in Burlington called Next Door Social Space (NDSS) that includes Rolling Horse Community Cycle and Next Door Community Kitchen. NDSS is an expression of Forestview’s creation care because it refurbishes old bikes\, promotes green transportation\, and uses rescued food & community gardens to create meals for the community. \nRob Miller\nRob Miller is an Anglican Missioner-Priest to the city of Hamilton. He works with ecclesial communities to nurture their appreciation of place and capacity for presence. The beginnings of both The Community of Common Prayer and the Saint Luke’s Mission are associated with his leadership. Presently\, he is interested in the phenomena of repentance\, mercy\, and gratitude; movements of the heart he considers essential in the pursuit of hospitality. Living in the North end of Hamilton with his family\, Rob spends his days walking\, reading\, and playing the fiddle.
