“With what shall I come before the Lord?…He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”

~ Micah 6:6-8 ~

JUNE 2018

In 2018, Inner City Pastoral Ministry celebrates

40 years of Church and Synagogue contributions of time, energy and hospitality to the Sunday Lunch program. In the beginning, a snack of coffee and a muffin was served, through the generosity of Robertson-Wesley United Church. From that tiny seed of hospitality, the program has grown to involve over 75 churches and synagogues, which now offer a hearty and nutritious meal to an average of 250 people each Sunday, 52 Sundays a year! In what follows, we highlight the experience and generosity of just one of the faith communities that support ICPM’s Sunday Lunch program.Annunciation Roman Catholic Parish in the west end of Edmonton has been in existence for well over fifty years. It is a very busy parish, with many groups working to make our world a better place.

One very active group is the Catholic Women’s League (CWL). We are part of a national organization of women, rooted in gospel values. Our motto is “for God and Canada.” We contribute to the life and vitality of the church, the family, and the community. As part of the community, we try to help those in need as much as we can. We hold fundraising activities so that we can support our many causes.As one of our contributions to the community, we partner with another church group to provide Sunday lunch for ICPM at the Bissell Centre once a year. We have been doing this for many years. Our CWL group gets together on Saturday morning to make 50 loaves of sandwiches and prepare vegetables and fruit for the lunch that we will serve the next morning. We visit as we work. We share stories and laugh a lot. We have fun and the work gets done quickly and efficiently. Many of us bring baking from home so that we can provide our lunch guests with lovely home-baked treats. On Sunday morning, a group of CWL volunteers heads to the Bissell Centre to set up and serve lunch to our brothers and sisters in the inner city. It is wonderful to share in the worship service, and then spend time with the people who come to lunch. We all go home feeling blessed and enriched because we have shared a special experience.

The Knights of Columbus is another very active group at Annunciation. Members work very hard to make our world a better place. Because we share common goals, the Knights of Columbus and Catholic Women’s League help each other in our various endeavours and projects. We ask them for help when we need to, and they do the same. One year, when we needed some extra servers for our Bissell lunch, we asked the Knights to help us. The men that came were very impressed by the day’s events. They enjoyed the worship service, the serving of lunch, and the friendly atmosphere at ICPM. Following that event, Pastor Rick was invited to speak at a Knights’ meeting to explain how the lunch “thing” works. The members were very receptive to the idea of committing to the Sunday lunch program. The CWL offered to help the men on their first outing. But by the time the women arrived at 10 AM

“We contribute to the life and vitality of the church, the family, and the community”

on the Saturday, most of the work was already done. Those men are the masters of organization! They get things done quickly and efficiently.There is a large box in the entry of Annunciation Church bearing the word SOCKS in big letters. And every week there is a note in the church bulletin that says, “Remember to keep filling the sock box.” Everyone knows the purpose of the box,

and every week people fill the box with packages of men’s and women’s socks. The generosity of the people of our community is awesome. They give and give. And there is a wonderful lady who knits continually. She says she likes to do her part to help those in need, and she has contributed hundreds of pairs of socks over the years. Every Monday, Flo Reducka empties the sock box and delivers the contents to Pastor Rick at ICPM. It’s no wonder that Flo is known, at ICPM and in the inner city, as “the sock lady”! Those who live with very little in their lives really do appreciate

receiving a pair of new dry socks from time to time. It’s a small gift to give, but it means so much to those who receive it. So it can be said that the sock ministry continues to do well at Annunciation!We are blessed in following our motto, “We contribute to the life and vitality of the church, the family, and the community,” as we serve people in need in the inner city of Edmonton through the ministry of ICPM.

Giving is a wonderful experience, and the giver

always hopes that receiving will be the same. Here are heart-warming stories from three churches that partner with ICPM to give.At Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Parish in Sherwood Park, there is a tradition of providing ICPM with Easter Gift Bags. This year, with space for storing and packing limited by the Bissell renovations, the church provided $20 McDonald’s gift cards instead. The recipients appreciated the ability to have a choice in using the card. They could treat a friend, or save it

for a rainy day. Each gift card came with a personal greeting card coloured by a school student.A group from Mount Olivet Lutheran Church in Sherwood Park lovingly knitted Prayer Shawls and sewed Baby Blankets. One mother, on selecting a blanket for her baby, expressed her joy at having an original handmade item. Others, selecting prayer shawls, understood the connection between themselves and the one who spent the time knitting.Members of All Saints’ Anglican Cathedral collected jewelry and scarves for a women’s Valentine Lunch at Bissell Centre.

The ladies who attended loved the opportunity of choice, and the fun of selecting pieces for themselves and loved ones.We all want to have some decision-making in our life, and a gift that provides that is special!

Mary-Lou Cleveland Vice-Chair, Board of Directors, ICPM

The Rev. Rick Chapman, Pastor at Inner City Pastoral Ministry in Edmonton,

received a special honour on May 8th. At the 12th Annual SAGE Awards luncheon, he was presented with an award in the newly created Truth and Reconciliation category, acknowledging in particular his efforts to foster reconciliation as an organizer of the Our Common Ground community events that were held in 2017.The SAGE awards are offered by the Seniors’ Association of Greater Edmonton to honour the outstanding achievements

and contributions of seniors. They recognize individuals who inspire, empower and engage others in making our community, province, nation and world a better place to live, work and play. In addition to his ministry as Pastor at ICPM, where he leads worship for the Community of Emmanuel at the Bissell Centre, Rick chairs the Diocese of Edmonton’s Social Justice Committee, and is co-chair of the Capital Region Interfaith Housing Authority Board.

Pastor Rick Chapman - Sage Awards

One of the great pleasures ICPM has experienced this year is the opportunity to attend Gord Holub’s graduation ceremonies at NorQuest College. Gord is the Indigenous Helper—“Smudge Man” he calls himself—with ICPM. But for the past three years he has been studying at NorQuest, and in May of this year completed his schooling as a Community Support Worker.For much of his life, Gord “worked hard-labour jobs. But in 2015, he knew it was time for a change. ‘I needed a career change because I wasn’t able to do all those physical laborious jobs anymore,’ he told CBC’s Radio Active.” Gord has high praise for the support he received as an Indigenous student at NorQuest. “When he walked into NorQuest, he said he was with an Indigenous Student Advisor within 20 minutes. The advisors at NorQuest helped him figure out what he wanted to do, and the kind of upgrading he needed to get there.”

Gord was fully involved while at College. He was elected to Student Council, served as the Student Council representative on the Board of Governors, and was active with the Indigenous Student Centre. “He’s currently on practicum with the Inner City Pastoral Ministry, and is working part-time at Ambrose Place as a caregiver. ‘I just want to be able to go help people because I’ve been through the whole system,’ he says.”Graduating from NorQuest College was actually a two-part event. First came the Indigenous Student Achievement Ceremony on Wednesday, May 16. The three sessions of Convocation at the Winspear Centre followed on May 24-25; the Community Support Worker Certificate was presented at the afternoon session on Thursday, May 24. Gord was honoured on both occasions. He was blanketed at the Indigenous Student Achievement Ceremony, a token of the esteem in which he is held by his fellow students. And he was the student chosen to offer congratulations to his fellow students at the session of Convocation at which he received his certificate.Congratulations, Gord, on a job well done! And thank you for the care and

compassion you offer to the people of the inner city in your role as Indigenous Helper with ICPM!

On the banks of the North Saskatchewan River by Walterdale Bridge, there is a sculpture that affects me, an incomplete circle.

It represents the broken relationships of Indigenous and colonist peoples, and treaty commitments not honoured. But it also was used as the visual image for this year’s ICPM men’s retreat. Teachings from Archbishop Sylvain Lavoie, Bob McKeon, and our own Gord Holub, along with creative activities such as sewing medicine bags and painting watercolours, guided us to think about how we find or restore the wholeness of the circle for ourselves

personally, in our relationships with family and friends, and with the larger creation.My spirit was nourished by the honest and moving sharing offered by the 16 men who took part, as they spoke both of their struggles, and of where they find strength and wisdom. With the added pleasures of an evening of bowling and bingo, and more good food than most of us eat in a week, the whole event was a great break from everyday life, and a good place to get to know people and think about the things in life that really matter.

Jim Gurnett Pastoral Associate, ICPM

Throughout the year, ICPM offers a monthly Men’s

Spiritual Wellness Lunch. This year, the reflections at these lunches were based on the Seven Sacred Teachings: courage, wisdom, humility, respect, honesty, truth, and love.The series of lunches culminates in the Men’s Spiritual Wellness Retreat, held at the Star of the North Retreat Centre on the May long weekend. This year a total of 21 men gathered for a time of fun, reflection, and sharing, based on the theme, “Restoring the Circle – Coming Back Home.” Archbishop Sylvain Lavoie, Chaplain at Star of the North, and Gord Holub, ICPM’s Indigenous Helper, addressed this theme in sessions entitled “Healing Life’s Hurts – Restoring the Inner Circle of Self,” “Reconnecting Through Reconciliation with Family and Friends,” and “Celebrating a Spirit of Harmony – Reintegrating into the Life of the Community.”

Often, individuals who have lost significant parts of their lives due to addiction find themselves distanced from self, family and friends, and their community. Reintegration is a journey of healing and reconciliation, a journey requiring humility, courage, and wisdom, supported by the love of the Creator and the care of Mother Earth.It was not all work. The men touched on these sacred topics in projects that included the creation of brightly coloured beaded lanyards and sacred medicine bags. Bruce Thompson, ICPM’s resident artist, offered a water colour experience that encouraged the men to dialogue about places where they felt whole, complete, and accepted. Friday night bowling and table fellowship with good food broke the ice, and board games filled the evening hours with fun and companionship.

The finale of the Retreat was the Standing Stones ceremony, offered in the four directions around themes of prayer, wisdom, healing and thanksgiving. The ceremony included a reflection by Bob McKeon, a theologian and social justice activist who has offered leadership at the retreat for many years.Special thanks are due to the Star of the North staff team, and to the Knights of Columbus and caring individuals who made the retreat possible through financial contributions. God blessed us richly as we shared in a journey of faith, restoring the circle of life once broken.

A getaway from the every day!! Just a few weeks ago, on the weekend of April 20-22, our annual and greatly-anticipated women’s retreat was in full swing! Twenty women from the Community of Emmanuel attended, and we were again blessed by the hospitality of the Star of the North Retreat Centre staff. There were plenty of activities—crafts, games, storytelling, singing, creative workshops, yoga—and there was rest, community, and food!

WOMEN’S SPIRITUAL WELLNESS RETREAT

RETURN TO BISSELL WEST

Just as the People of God crossed the Jordan River from the wilderness to the promised land, so, on Mothers’ Day, May 13, ICPM crossed 96 Street from Bissell East to Bissell West when, after many months, the renovations were completed! The refreshed facility offers shiny, updated and spacious surroundings. A spring freshness fills the air, and we are grateful to Bissell and to God for continued support and blessing as ICPM celebrates its fortieth year of ministry within the inner city community of Edmonton.

8ART WITH BRUCE THOMPSONFor the third year, the spring of 2018 saw Bruce

Thompson generously share his time and talents with ICPM as he guided a weekly watercolour art activity. For six Thursday mornings in February and March, while winter reigned outside, the Bissell Centre board room was transformed into a scene of warm and busy artistic creativity.“The sessions have two goals. One is to provide a space for people to explore how art can connect with healing, spiritual growth and inner peace,” explains Bruce. “The other is to offer a safe place where people can informally connect and visit as they paint.” Bruce aimed to assist participants with little or no previous training or experience in painting, to be knowledgeable enough to continue and progress on their own path.Each week the session would begin with Michelle, Pastor Rick, or Jim offering a brief focusing reflection related to one of the seven sacred teachings (such as humility, honesty, respect, courage, and wisdom). Bruce would then provide comments related to a particular colour, and suggest some possible subjects to paint, but individuals were left free to paint as they wished. Over the time of a session, Bruce would touch in an informal way

on technical issues of basic composition, colour theory, art forms, and materials for watercolour painting, sometimes with the full group, and at other times with one or two individuals.“People in the inner city often have little access to opportunities for recreation and culture. We appreciate how Bruce has shared his skills to provide a good opportunity for people to discover the joys

of watercolours,” comments ICPM’s Pastor Rick.Bruce also provided a painting workshop during the men’s retreat at Star of the North on the May long weekend.Bruce has a website where his work can be seen, at www.brucethompsonart.com.

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRThank you to everyone who came out for our

Annual General Meeting on March 21 at Robertson-Wesley United Church. We had the largest attendance at an AGM in many years, which was very encouraging and inspiring for all of us. Undoubtedly one of the reasons for the excellent turnout was our guest speaker, Harold Robinson, who is currently serving as Tribunal Secretary for the Métis Settlements Appeal Tribunal, and who previously served for many years as an adjudicator for Indian Residential School claims. Harold provided us with a powerful and heartfelt reflection on the residential school experience and its impact on

Indigenous communities. He also spoke of ways in which we can further the process of reconciliation with First Nations peoples. Thank you Harold for sharing your wisdom and your commitment to reconciliation. Many thanks also to the wonderful folks of Robertson-Wesley for hosting the meeting.One of the duties of the Board Chair that I most enjoy is writing thank-you letters for donations to our ministry. I am always heartened and encouraged by the donations that come in throughout the year, and by the wide variety of sources represented. Not only do we receive financial support from many individuals, but we also receive donations from a large

number of parishes and congregations, and from various groups or organizations within parishes and congregations. We also receive a number of grants from church bodies, both within Alberta and at the national level. There is a well-known saying that it takes a village to raise a child. I have learned that it takes a community of many to make our ministry possible. We are grateful to all of you who make the important decision to share your gifts with us. Thank you!

John Campbell Chair, Board of Directors, ICPM

There is an Anishinabe prophecy describing “a time for the Indigenous community and the Settler community to come together to build the 8th Fire of justice and harmony.”

“In the Seventh fire, the white race will be given a choice between two paths:one will lead to destruction, the other to the lighting of the Eighth and final fire,an Eternal Fire of Peace, Love, and Brotherhood.”

But before building this fire of justice and harmony, before reconciliation, there must be “truth.” There must be continued opportunities to listen, to learn, and to dialogue about the injustices suffered by Canada’s Indigenous peoples. In this spirit of reconciliation, ICPM and the United Church’s Moving Forward With Reconciliation (MFWR) are hosting “Living the 8th Fire,” a series of nine Saturday learning circles led by Michelle Nieviadomy, some smaller, some larger, which follow a curriculum of discussions based on the CBC documentary series 8th Fire.

The first two circles, both of the smaller variety, took place at Southminster-Steinhauer United Church on Saturday mornings April 7 and May 5. Attended by folk from Lutheran, Catholic, United and Anglican churches in Edmonton and the surrounding region, they were rich times of listening and learning, exploring such topics as racial stereotyping, the National and Provincial apologies, the definition of Métis, and the circumstances of Indigenous people living in urban areas.The third learning circle, a “hands-on,” wider community event, took place on Saturday June 2 at Christ Church, which, along with Homeward Trust, joined the partnership of sponsors. We raised a tipi together, a task traditionally performed by women, and, by listening to the teaching of the Elders, explored the spiritual and ceremonial significance of these structures. Living the 8th Fire continues on October 6, November 3 and December 1 in 2018, and in February through April in 2019.Expanding on the teaching of the Blanket Exercise, Living the 8th Fire seeks to offer, with respect and honesty, both in-depth teaching and opportunity for dialogue about the relationship between Indigenous and Settler communities in

Canada. It continues the 2017 initiative organized by ICPM and MFWR with the financial support of the Anglican Diocese of Edmonton and the Anglican Foundation of Canada, the series of four gatherings called Our Common Ground, which offered a ministry of reconciliation and healing through prayer, wisdom sharing, healing, and thanksgiving. And it continues ICPM’s response to the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, so that we may all “live well in the land.”

Churches provide financial support for our ministry in many ways. Some

congregations have a line in their annual budget for a donation to ICPM. Others use funds from a bursary endowment to make an annual grant. Some churches collect transit tickets from their members and pass them on to us, while others mount a special appeal for funds to purchase gift cards that we can give throughout the year to community members in need. (An example of this last approach is the fantastic gift from the members of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Parish described on page 4 of this Newsletter.) We appreciate all of the support that we receive from these efforts. It enhances our ability to carry out our ministry.Is your church is looking for a new way to provide support for ICPM? Here is an idea you may wish to try at your church: hold

a “Loose Offering Sunday” on the day that your congregation is serving lunch at the Bissell Centre, and give the loose offering received that day to ICPM. It’s true that the loose offering in many churches on an average Sunday might be just $30 or $40. But if you announce the appeal in advance, asking your members to bring their “spare change,” this may increase the total loose offering received that day to a much more substantial amount.My home congregation, Hosanna Lutheran Church in Edmonton, has been holding a “Loose Offering Sunday” for five years, and each year the total amount donated has grown larger. Our Sunday this year was in February, and the total received was over $600.00. Our members now regard this Sunday as an important way to provide meaningful financial support to the ICPM ministry each year. The offering plates that day are filled not only with the

coins that people dig out at home, but also with folding money—$5, $10 and $20 bills. Holding such an appeal is also a wonderful way to connect every member of the congregation to the mission of the volunteers who are serving lunch at the Bissell Centre on that Sunday.ICPM has resources available for congregations that are interested in making an appeal of this sort; these include sample bulletin and newsletter notices, as well as posters. If you are interested in learning more, or would like to have some help making the arrangements, please contact us at our regular e-mail address (info@icpmedmonton.ca), and we will be pleased to provide assistance.
