HOW CAN I HELP?

How Can I Help?
Supporting Survivors of Sexual Violence in Your Community


How Can I Help? Supporting Survivors of Sexual Violence is a free two-hour presentation to provide community members with basic information on how they can help.  If you are someone who cares and is willing to learn about the services and supports available in your community, we encourage you to attend.

Victims/survivors often disclose first to people they know, rather than the police or service providers. This means that there are many people in our communities who may someday find themselves in the position to hear a disclosure or be asked to provide support to a victim or their family and friends.  Examples of community support people include volunteer youth leaders, sports coaches, clergy, teachers, front-line administrative staff in schools, hospitals, student support staff, nurses, parents, friends, roommates, family members or recreation leaders.

People may assume that they must be a therapist, lawyer, police officer or health care professional to help a victim or survivor, and while eventually the person may need some or all of those professional services, in the early moments of disclosure or reaching out for help after an assault, victims/survivors need a caring person who is willing to listen, believe them, and assist them by connecting to the level of support they need at that time.

It could be 20 minutes or 20 years after the assault, but regardless of when it happened, victims and survivors need people in their communities to provide them with compassionate support, appropriate options and reliable information.

1 in 2    Transgender individuals are sexually abused or assaulted at some point in their lives.
1 in 3    Canadian women will experience sexual assault in their adult life.
1 in 6    Men have experienced abusive sexual experiences before age 18.

The workshops are FREE and all handouts and materials will be provided. Visit the FSENS website http://ensfamilyservice.ca/programs/the-strait-area-community-response-to-sexual-violence  or check local papers for a workshop schedule.

Workshops will be facilitated by Linda MacDougall Penner M.A.,M.Ed. Clinical Therapist, CCC, RCT;,  Laurie Suitor MACP, RCT C, Private Psychotherapist and Lori Castle, Support Counsellor, Naomi Society.

To learn more about sexual violence, join the Every Door is the Right Door campaign by committing that your staff and or volunteers take the free online course offered by the NS Sexual Violence Strategy at https://breakthesilencens.ca/training.

The Strait Area Community Response to Sexual Violence Network is a group of organizations from the region who work together to improve outcomes for victims of sexual violence in the Strait Area. This project is being administered by Family Service of Eastern Nova Scotia. For more information contact Nancy O’Regan at nancy.oregan@fsens.ns.ca or call 902 -870-1320.

BOUNDARIES COMMISSION UPDATE

The United Church of Canada | L'Église Unie du Canada


Boundaries Commission Interim Report: We heard you!

During our YouTube Live web broadcast on January 15, Chair Andrew Richardson presented the Boundaries Commission interim report, explained how the Commission decided on the draft regional councils, and answered questions from viewers. You can watch a recording of the session on the United Church YouTube channel.

People from across the country participated in the live online broadcast with their questions and concerns. One of the recurring concerns raised was that there wasn’t enough time for consultation and feedback on the interim report. Here is Andrew’s response:

“The release of the Boundaries Commission’s interim report has sparked conversation across the church. We have heard many comments both positive and negative. We appreciate all feedback that has come directly to us or as questions during the webinar.

“We realize the consultation time is short, but nevertheless if your governing body has specific proposals for how particular boundaries might work better, please use regchange@united-church.ca to send a formal motion to us. The clearer the rationale, the easier it will be for the Commission to discern any necessary changes. You may want to refer to our four criteria—geography, relationships, capacity, and culture in your response.”

Requesting changes to boundaries

Governing bodies of pastoral charges, presbyteries, and Conferences can request a change to the Boundaries Commission proposal by passing a formal motion. Please forward motions to regchange@united-church.ca by January 31, 2018.
 

Submitting questions and comments

Please continue to send your questions and comments to remits@united-church.ca.
 

What’s next?

The Commission will release its final report no later than March 15, 2018, outlining the boundaries of the new regional councils. The Commission has decision-making authority subject to the 43rd General Council deciding to enact remits approved by presbyteries and/or pastoral charges. Watch for the report on united-church.ca and egliseunie.ca and in your inbox.

NB: A parallel, ongoing process is underway within the Indigenous Church.

"Please join me in welcoming  Eric Dawson  as our new church treasurer. We are very pleased that Eric has agreed to take on this essential position.
 Eric & Gladys have been working together to ensure that the change over goes smoothly"
Clark Brander, Chair, Trustees & Finance 

Over recent years it has evolved that the treasurer & a few  helpers have become responsible for counting  collection after church each Sunday.
We very much appreciate Gladys' & her helpers' dedication in getting the money counted  but it is not fair that this task should fall to such a small group.
In order to more fairly spread the work of counting collection among all members of the congregation, a volunteer counters schedule has been posted in the Narthex .
Please sign up & support our new treasurer by taking your turn with counting collection.
Thank you,
Clark Brander, Chair, Trustees & Finance

January 28th 2018—4th after Epiphany

A thought around which to gather as we worship— Of course, this is not anything new. Moses had to deal with rumours and accusations while leading the people to freedom. Men and women in the early church struggle with what a community – which was open to all and willing to listen to all – might look like. There were all sorts of rumours, questions, “alternative facts” spread about Jesus. Like all of them, we are faced with the continual quest to discover what it is like to live with truth in love and with love in truth.

All: In the company of sinners, in cahoots with saints:

and people seeking a way, straining our ears for the good news:
we lift our praise to God.

One: You reach out your hand to lift us up so we may follow you. 
Holy God:

without your peace, we would be heartless; 
without your presence, we would be graceless. 
Bearer of truth: 
All: our songs of joy echo down the hallways of eternity. 
One: God in Community, Holy in One, 
may our songs echo in your heart. Amen.

*Hymn    This Day God Gives Me VU 410

Prayer for Wholeness

God of truth and love, there are times when we fill our souls with the empty sounds of our culture and miss your words of hope, of grace, of comfort.
Sometimes, we do not heed your hopes for us.
Sometimes, our pride gets in the way of witnessing to your love.
Forgive us, Holy One, and be gracious to us.
Astound us with your words, so we may learn your ways;
nourish us with your mercy, so we may be filled with life;
and overflow with praise for you. Amen.
Silence is kept.

When we think we should dictate how our gifts should be used, Loving God, remind us that all we have and are is yours. 
May our treasures bring new hope to those in despair, words of affirmation to the bullied, and life to everyone who is broken. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Prayers of Thanksgiving and Intercession

Times of Silence will be offered. 

WE GO TO SERVE GOD

*Hymn Holy God, We Praise Your Name VU 894

* Sending Out

One: Let us go now into the world, not with power tightly grasped, 
All: but with the humility to know we do not have all the answers. 
One: Let us go now into the lives of others, not to direct, 
All: but to share in their brokenness as well as their hopes. 
One: Let us go now into our communities, not with loud voices, 
All: but with gentle whispers of grace and mercy.

A thought around which to gather as we worship— The passing of time prompts many questions for us about our existence as human beings and how we spend our mortal lives. But Jesus offers another way, another model in which to measure the matter of our days and another way to pursue the hopes we have for our future. 

So what does Jesus mean when he tells those who follow him, “The time is fulfilled”? What does it mean to be called out of the ordinary but hectic reality of our lives and into the extraordinary way of Jesus Christ? What does it mean to be called out of the present moment and into the gifts for which God has called us?

Prayer for Wholeness

One: Your voice, God, is calling us into a season of revival. 
All: May we lay down traditions that bind us,
and carry afresh those truths that free us to follow,
as we leave our boats on the shoreline and follow you
One: Your voice, God, is calling us into a world of questions.
All: May we let go of those well-worn and easy answers,
and discover a faith of passionate inquiry 
as we leave the ballast on the beach and follow you.
One: Your voice, God, is calling us into a time of renewal.
All: May we leave behind the beliefs and actions
that no longer fit our present faith
as we leave the driftwood at the tide-mark and follow you. 
One: Your voice, God, is calling us into a life of justice.
All: May we turn our backs on a way of living 
that binds others with injustice,
as we leave the debris in the seaweed and follow you.  Amen.

Words of Affirmation

One: The God who calls us speaks into our uncertainties, calls us to follow, even when we aren’t so sure. God continues to call, and to our reluctant hearts says, “It is enough for now. Come follow me. You are ready.” Thanks be.

WE LISTEN FOR GOD’S WORD

As James and John moved from boat builders to apostles,
from habit to adventure, 
we will move from what is known, into what is unknown.
