Indigenous Ministries Events for Lent 2023

Chinook Winds’ Indigenous Minister Rev. Tony Snow will be facilitating several in-person and online events during Lent throughout Chinook Winds. Below are a few dates of events that are being planned. Neighbouring congregations and individuals to the event locations are encouraged and invited to attend.
     Several events are Blanket Exercises which help bring to life the Indigenous experience of colonialism by engaging participants in a facilitated, interactive way.
