The Parish of Holy Trinity, Edson hosted the Remembering the Children weaving beginning on September 26.
We welcomed members of our congregation and visitors to our Main Street location where the weaving was displayed at our open house. We appreciated the baking of local resident Jodi Cox, who donated a portion of the profits of her Orange Shirt cookie creations to the Edson Friendship Centre.
To give as many members of the community as possible a chance to see the weaving (we estimate it was viewed by more than 40 people), we displayed it for the week until Thanksgiving Sunday. Alison Reid shared a reflection on the weaving during the Sunday service.
Our weekly Bible study group worked through the Doctrine of Discovery video and study guide throughout the month of September. This led to thoughtful discussion and reflection. Parishioners who were unable to attend the discussions were invited to review the materials at home.
Several parishioners attended the local event held by the Edson Friendship Centre on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, September 30, participating in a Smudge and Round Dance.
We are grateful to have had this very moving artwork in our community. Submitted by Barbara Shepherd, Holy Trinity, Edson
