This year, due to Covid again, we will be having Fastathon 2021 through our computer screen. This year's event will be on Saturday, June 5 at 7:30 p.m. My youngest daughter, Erica, asked if we could fast this year even though we were away from camp. This year is special for her due to the recent loss of her Uncle, Aaron. The last time she fasted, she was struggling to make the last leg of the fast. Her Uncle reassured her she could do it and she did. She was 12 years old at the time. Erica and I would like to ask for your donation to World Accord as we fast for 36 hours in Aaron’s place. If you would like to join us in the fast, you are more than welcome to. We will begin Friday, June 4th at 11 pm and break our fast Sunday, June 6 at 11:00 a.m. If you wish to join us online to learn more, we are hosting our Fastathon 2021 evening event on June 5th at 7:30 p.m. for a video presentation and online Bingo (zoom link to follow). We invite you to join us in fasting but fasting is not required to attend. Donations may be made by clicking the link below Thank you for your generous and continued support that blesses people in need. Thanks! Becky Grigsby  A global celebration of Pentecost.

SLIM (Sharing Love in Mission) - 1:45 p.m. Sharing concerns and prayers. Our journey of faith this afternoon will be that of life, love, faith and fun. We will be exploring the following; 1. What does it mean to be made in the image of God? 2. You-Your body, soul, and spirit were formed and skillfully wrought by God with each day of your life fashioned in detail like the pages in a book Psalms 139 3. Do we always see it, our faith? 4. Jesus runs to the mess. 5. You need to know who you are in Christ? This service will be packed full of fun and laughter. Please remember to wear a fun costume, hats and glasses. Bring at least five sheets of paper and a pen or pencil and all the fixings to make banana splits…yummy! Please join us for a time of reflection where we can just put aside all that is weighing on us and have some fun with God. P.S. If you don’t want to make banana splits, bring your veggies and build a veggie banana split. Or just come and join in on the fun and watch us be silly.

As part of the e-camping experience at Canada East Mission this summer, we are organizing a pen pal program to help connect our children/youth with seniors within our community. Each child/youth who registers will be matched up with a senior and they will be asked to commit to writing letters, with or without drawings/crafts four times (or more if they wish!) through the summer. Each time the senior receives their letter they will be expected to return a letter as well.
If you or someone you know is interested in participating (senior or child/youth), please let us know. Keep in mind that we cannot guarantee that we will have a match for every senior’s name we receive and we may have to prioritize depending on the number or participants. When registering, please include the following information:

 From Crises Through Transformation Systemic Solutions: Transforming to the Circular Economy Sunday, June 13, 5pm EDT Join further discussions about these topics on these dates: Thursday, June 24, 9 pm EDT Or Sunday, June 27, 5 pm EDT  We need systemic change in our economic model. Explore how to take our current Discard Economy and transform it to a Circular Economy which works better both socially and economically. In this session we start examining the pervasive structural issues that shape our world--in this case the basic economic model. (Note: consumerism will be a separate session). Our current practice is a Create-Use-Discard economy that results in ravaged mountains, toxic tailing ponds, abusive child labour, abandoned oil wells, and mountains of trash. The old model generally considers resources to be endless, waste to be of no consequence, and the implications for Nature to be negligible. Lugano will share an alternative model: the Circular Economy. From the ground up, once new resources enter this modular system, the model tracks resources and keeps re-using and replacing them as long as possible. In addition, Lugano will briefly share his insights from working on 100,000-person “city within a city,” where flexibility and change can occur more nimbly. Lugano Kapembwa is co-founder and CEO of Loopcycle, a circular technology platform embedding lasting traceability that redefines how customers manage, recover and resell their used products. Prior to this role, Lugano worked on a $5 billion project, delivering sustainability and resource efficiency programs as Energy and Environment Lead for Canary Wharf Management, the landlord arm of Canary Wharf Group—owners of the 128 acre estate and mini-city district in London, UK. Lugano holds a M.Sc. in Law and Environmental Science and a B.Sc. in Environmental Science. Come join us in the Climate Webinar on June 13, with Lugano Kapembwa. Invite your friends to join as well. All sessions are free. Participation in previous webinars and conversations is not necessary to join in this opportunity. If you registered for a past webinar or conversation, you do not need to register again. Once registered, you will be sent a Zoom link a few days before each webinar, panel and conversation.
