Food Insecurity
Jun 10, 2021 6:30PM (90 Minutes)Part of what makes food insecurity so difficult to solve is that the underlying causes — poverty, unemployment/under-employment, and inconsistent access to enough healthy food — are often deeply interconnected. This workshop addresses the issues surrounding Food Insecurity, what it means, and its impact on our communities including the availability of resources, and the similarities and differences across our region (Looking to put on another date/time) (Adding presenters from Marilyn Prowell, Mills Grove and Recovery Cafe)

Justice Commission
Jun 23, 2021 6:30PM (90 Minutes)Amidst COVID-19, a resurgence of white supremacy, and growing social and cultural unrest the Justice Commission has prepared a re-telling of the story of adopting the Circles of Peace process as an avenue for truth and reconciliation. For healing in a time where much suffering, hurt, and social division plagues our region, congregations, homes, cities, state, nation, and our world. The Circles of Peace ascend from ancient indigenous tradition and culture! The Circles of Peace process consists of Circles of Inquiry, Circles of Advocacy & Action, and Circles of Healing. The group process has adapted to modern social technology and is utilized in religious and spiritual communities and education, government, and corporate environments. The history: for years, the CCNCN region churches, committees, and commissions used resolutions as the tool for resolving conflict. After considerable debate, an Annual Gathering body voted to avoid polarization by moving away from resolutions adopting The Circles of Peace Process. Some of the areas the Justice has been engaged in have been defending the vote and conversation to build understanding and relationship: Open and Inclusive of LGBTTQ people; racism. access and physical abilities; water rights and allocation, and true hospitality and welcome to immigration.
