Through our Watershed Discipleship program, KAIROS is very excited to join with BC Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada and others to co-sponsor a six week study on Caring for All Creation, an opportunity to gather with the diverse peoples who share concern over the stewardship of our planet, and for right relationships with Indigenous peoples.
Gatherings will take place in Victoria and Vancouver on a 2 week cycle from March 3 until May 13, but in cooperation with ds10rrad.io, you can join in from wherever you are!
While you are encouraged to participate in the whole series if possible, all are welcome at any of the events. KAIROS staff Sara Stratton will be a guest speaker for the March 31 (Victoria) and April 1 (Vancouver) events.
Victoria events take place Monday evenings from 6 to 9pm at the Lutheran Church of the Cross, 3785 Cedar Hill Road.
Vancouver events take place Tuesday evenings from 6 to 9pm at Spirit of Life Lutheran Church, 375 West 10th Avenue.
The series is facilitated by the Rev Dr. Dittmar Mündel, Tiffany McNaughton, and Carmelle Javney Mohr.
