We continue examining the disastrous impact climate disruption has on human populations around the globe. In this follow-up webinar by Dr. Richard Waugh, Professor Emeritus in Geography from Wisconsin University, the focus will be on melting mountain glaciers, ocean warming and acidification, and the opportunities we have to make a difference in the trends of global climate change.  
 
Dr. Waugh’s candor, expertise, and friendly demeanor enables him to speak the harsh truths of climate disruption while keeping webinar participants engaged, interested, and motivated. As a long-time elder in Community of Christ, his scholastic studies and teaching rest on a lasting appreciation of sacred space, an understanding of the sacredness of creation, and a deep respect for the Enduring Principles of the church. He brings to the conversations a firm conviction that people of faith must go beyond stewardship to mutuality.
 
Come join us in the Climate Webinar on May 16, with Dr. Richard Waugh. 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.

Margaret Ruth Warren, loved wife of the late William Warren (1999) passed away at the Blenheim Community Village on Wednesday April 14, 2021 with her children by her side.  She was the youngest of eight children and the last surviving child born to the late Ernest & Myrtle (Spencer) Wood.  She will be remembered with such fondness by her children Cheryl & Mike Lehman, Dennis Warren and Steven Warren, by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren Cynthia & Brett Blonde (Ashlyn and Kyrin), Derek & Lindsay Lehman (Riley and Jackson), Carrisa & Eric Dedrick (Kylar, Andrisa, Deagan, Mirrah, Jeanneva and Emerson) and Jeremiah Brown & Crystal Seminuk (Paylie, Charlie and Eva-Marie).
Margaret lived in Erieau for many years where she was known as “The Pie or Cake Lady”.  Baking was a labour of love for her and she made it seem easy.  Christmas Eve at the Warren’s was always a time to celebrate with a house full of family and food.  She was known for her ability to create unique cake styles and shapes that made the whole experience even more fun.
Margaret was strong in her faith and was a dedicated member of the Community of Christ Church in Blenheim.  She was a kind and caring person who was well respected and loved by all who knew her.
Due to the current restrictions, a memorial service at Community of Christ Church will be held at a later date.
Friends wishing to remember Margaret with a memorial donation are asked to consider the Community of Christ Church or the Parkinsons Society of Southwestern Ontario.

Unfortunately, there are many scammers looking for opportunities to take advantage of non-suspecting individuals in many different ways. We want to warn you about one such scheme that may be circulating among or from Community of Christ members, friends and Mission Centre Leadership right now. 

If you should receive an email that appears to be from someone you know or trust such as CEM leadership, pastoral team, other close friends or relatives, etc. stating, "Can you to do me a favour?", be extremely cautious. These messages are likely a "phishing" email. 
 
If you reply, the next email asks you to purchase a gift card on their behalf. The message may say they need the card immediately, but they are too busy to do it, and they will pay you back as soon as possible.

These emails are not legitimate. They are being sent by malicious entities who are impersonating people in your contacts list to gain your trust and exploit you. These kinds of fraudulent emails attempt to gain your trust in order to access your personal and/or credit card information, or to get money (in the form of gift cards).
 
DO NOT click any links or reply to such messages. Delete these emails immediately!

What to do next:

If you believe you have received this type of phishing email:

1. Contact the person whose name appears in the email via phone to find out if the request is valid.
2. If not, they should notify their contacts to be on the lookout for fraudulent emails from them.
3. If you are a victim of fraud, report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

Be very suspicious regarding online communication, especially when being requested to purchase gift cards or transfer funds, Remember, scams come in many forms. Click here to see a list of other possible scams published by the Government of Canada.
