Themed poster campaign

In the 25th year we embrace the history of the program graphically. The three programs, Wish Tree, Candy Canes for Pocket Change and the Holiday Gift Hamper were given a classic makeover using seasonal red, green and gold for the gifts and the candy canes. White and blue were for the snow and decorations imagery.

The Season of Caring is a campus wide initiative that started 26 years ago under the original name ‘The Christmas Project’ and its aim was to raise food donations for the CIFB during December. Over the years, the program has changed, grown and adapted to the changing needs in the community.

Support a stressed-out studentIn the 26th year, we changed the focus more to the core student audience. The adopt a student part of the program was put front and centre. I had to graphically promote two sides: support a stressed out student and are you a stressed out student looking for support, apply for a Gift Hamper. Using a sweater as the main motif, I drew on elements of warmth, comfort and security of the penguin in the pocket for the support posters. In the Gift hamper poster, I turned it around, frayed the sweater pocket and showed the penguin falling out of it to portray the penguin was at the end of it’s rope needing a hand.

Special thanks to Greg Simm for his belief in this project and bringing it to fruition. His endless creativity and help in putting the tunes together and his unbelievable talent in not only playing on the album but listening and making it sound the best possible. Thank you to Ross Billard for somehow knowing exactly what I wanted on the piano and his help in creating this album and making it so musical.

Thank you to Kevin Walkes for his artistry and creating the cover and design for this CD….and being an all-around super guy and putting up with my utter indecisiveness!

Thanks to Emma Guy-Macdonald and Crimson Art Photography (www.crimsonartphotography.com) for the use of the picture on the front cover (I love it!)

Much love and Thanks to * my Dad for his belief that this CD should be made and in my fiddling * my Mom for her continued love and unconditional support whenever asked and not asked * my husband, Morgan, who inspires me every time he plays his guitar and can jump in and fill my musical blanks (and my new Rubber Dolly solo!) * Nana Julie for coming to our rescue whenever we call * Nola Baillargeon, Robyn Albright and my CFA family for their endless support * my Fiddle Sisters – Kim de Laforest and Shamma Sabir for their unconditional love and encouragement * Gordon Stobbe for always having an ear and helpful advice * Dean Marshall for being my mentor and my friend * my cousin, Julianne Wever, for being my biggest and loudest cheerleader and confidante since I can remember.

I would also like to thank a small community of people in Barrows, Manitoba. It is here that I have grown musically and gained the self-assurance to make this CD. Over the past several years, I have been welcomed with open arms and it has given me confidence and pride in my music and me. Barrows is my little piece of heaven.

Annual Report

Christ ChurchWhat’s Next?

Then and Now

Dear Friends,

It has been several years since Christ Church ad-opted “a vision to re-Generate” our parish. The conclusion of our wonderful centennial celebra-tions last November provided an ideal opportu-nity to review these priorities and to test what we believe God is asking from us now.

For example, we’ve worked hard at becoming a more welcoming community. We now recognize the imperative to become a more inviting com-munity.

Similarly, we have a long history of coming alongside people who are disadvan-taged, for instance through our work with people transitioning to permanent housing, and our monthly collective kitchen with moms and tots from CUPS. Now, however, we have identified a calling not only to act, but also to advocate – in other words to speak knowledgeably and pow-erfully for those have no voice, or whose voices are discounted by others.

Again, a church located at the juncture of two dead-end streets in a residential neighbourhood has to work very hard at creating public profile if people are ever to “come and see.” We now urgently need to update our communications strategy, for instance by redesigning our web site to be more interactive and a little less buttoned-down, to enhance our presence on social media, and to find a more appealing, less wordy, format for our weekly email to the parish. We have made progress in our goal to attract newcomers to Christ Church. In the process we

have discovered that the old pattern of weekly church attendance just isn’t possible for many people who consider Christ Church their spiri-tual home. We now want to find ways of help-ing people get to know more than each other’s names, so that we can continue to think of our-selves, and act, as a compassionate “household of faith.”

Among those we have welcomed into our midst are younger families, and this prompted us four years ago to hire a part-time Coordinator of Chil-

dren’s, Youth, and Family Min-istry. This ministry has grown in scope with our continuing baby boom, the difficulty faced by teachers and children alike to be here every Sunday, and the creation of an Advisory Council to assist in clarifying expectations for our programs. We now need to re-tool our Sunday School and youth programs to be more respon-sive to these challenges, and to provide clear educational objectives shared by both par-ents and teachers. To do this work effectively will require us to restore the Coordinator’s position to four days per week (from three).

In a society where people often proclaim them-selves “spiritual but not religious,” and in a Church which assumed that the essence of “Anglican spiri-tuality” would simply be imbibed from exposure to the Sunday liturgy, we recognize that many An-glicans do not in fact feel well informed about the treasures of their own spiritual tradition. We want now to be very intentional about offering and nam-ing opportunities for spiritual renewal and growth. Our newly formed “Friends of the Labyrinth” will be among those with a role in this ministry.

Then and Now

“We appreciate all of the time and energy you give to us and the new ways of seeing things, always stimulating”

In any parish, there is a natural rhythm or oscil-lation between the Gathering of the Community and the Un-gathering, between looking inward and looking outward, between nurturing our own souls and caring for the world. We are called to “continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellow-ship, the breaking of bread and the prayers” (i.e. to gather). We are called equally “to seek and serve Christ in all persons loving our neighbour as ourself” (i.e. to leave the place of worship, and to go out and mend the world).

All these ministries, and the hopes we have for our future, are dependent upon adequate staff support – and you will see from the materials which follow that the Board of Management is presenting a financial goal which includes the cost

of restoring a second priest to our staff comple-ment, and adding one day a week to the Family Ministries position. The work of staff is both to do ministry, and to animate the ministry of the entire community. Together, with the prayers, partici-pation and material support of every member of Christ Church we can move from then to now. What’s next? Look and see…

Yours faithfully,

(The Venerable) M. Ansley Tucker, Rector

What’s Next?

Here is how Christ Church

hopes to implement

the Marks of Mission in our own context.

What a great year we had in 2013! Our Centennial celebrations ranged from fabulous liturgies to terrific social events. We completed the first phase of our Legacy Project with the laying of our Labyrinth, and we look forward to the installation this spring of the surrounding Tranquility Garden. Retrospectives are lots of fun, but we can’t simply rest on our laurels. And so, in November, we called together about 45 parish leaders to identify priorities for the future. Following on this work, the Annual Meeting of Parishioners in February identified several areas for emphasis over the next few years.

We decided to align these with the “Five Marks of Mission” of the international Anglican Communion. First adopted over 30 years ago, the Marks of Mission have recently proved to be a rallying point for Anglicans the world over. They have allowed us to focus on what unites us as a Church, as opposed to those doctrinal and moral differences that have distracted us from getting on with the work of building the kingdom of God.

First Mark of Mission – to proclaim the Good News of the kingdom.We want to become an inviting, rather than merely welcoming, community.

4

What’s Next?

Second Mark of Mission – to teach, baptise and nurture new believers We want to strengthen our emphasis on spirituality and spiritual renewal, and to solidify relationships amongst those who think of Christ Church as their spiritual home.

Third Mark of Mission – to respond to human need by loving service We want to find ways of marshalling our volunteer energy and availability in short term and meaningful outreach projects.

Fourth Mark of Mission – to seek to transform unjust structures of society, to challenge violence of every kind and to pursue peace and reconciliationWe want to work towards the full inclusion of any who may be marginalized, whether in Church or society, and especially at this time members of the LGBT community.

Fifth Mark of Mission – to strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earthWe want to provide educational resources concerning food security and clean water as issues which belong to the concerns of a gospel community. Our Parish Council is currently drawing together working groups to propose and evaluate ways to implement these very broad goals.

Making Ministry Happen

8

Weareseeking$905,000inofferingsforthenewfiscalyearbeginningJuly1,2014throughJune30,2015. This is an increase of 8.0% over our actual offeringsin2013.

Some may wonder why we would be looking foranincrease,whenwewerefortunatetofinish2013 with a small surplus. The truth is, that sur-plus was achieved by reduced expenditures on programsandstaffing.Notonlydidwedelaythehiring of a new coordinator of Children’s, Youth and Family Ministry for six months: we also reduced the hours for that position by one day a week. In addition, the departure of the Reverend Tara Livingston at the end of November provid-ed some unexpected salary relief.Without strong pledge support we cannot pro-ceed in good conscience to hire a second priest, nortorestoreourprogramstafftopreviouslev-els of service. The budget underlying this year’s appeal addresses both these needs. It also re-stores a modest cost of living increase (1.1%) for staff,andprovidesforinflationandnewprograminitiatives.

In addition to the ministry Christ Church pro-videslocally,weremaindeeplycommittedtoassisting with work at the national and interna-tional level – work to which we can contribute, but could never hope to provide all by ourselves. Ourannual“apportionment”of$134,000isalarge part of our commitment to national and global initiatives. We ourselves have been on the receiving end of such help, and it gives us great pleasure to return the favour to other less “re-sourced” communities.
