National Indigenous Peoples Day (June 21)

Posted: June 21, 2022 |

June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day across Canada. This year, we are grateful to the Rev. Janaki Bandara who has prepared a sermon for use on Sunday, June 19th or 26th. Our deep thanks to Pastor Janaki! 

Additionally, Deacon Scott Knarr and Rev. Elaine Boone have written prayers for inclusion in worship that day as well. Thank you Deacon Scott and Pastor Elaine!

A link to both an audio recording, sermon manuscript, and prayers is now available and can be accessed HERE.
