TRC Call to Prayer
Father God,
We pray for open hands and willing hearts as records relevant to the history and legacy of the residential school system are collected. We pray that those collecting the records will understand the significance of the work they are doing. Please ensure all voices will be heard and preserved, so that the full story will be remembered and that a similar atrocity will never occur again. Amen

“Begin Anew”
Time will be spent in fellowship, sharing, praying and studying the series “Begin Anew”. It is meant to foster a sense of community and family as we are all brothers and sisters in Christ on this journey and we shouldn’t be doing it alone. It’s a time to support each other and to grow in our walk with God.
