Acknowledging the Territory

Worship Leader: Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples have occupied and cared for this land, the country we know as Canada, from coast to coast to coast. Indigenous peoples have lived and journeyed on this land, weaving their identity and their spirituality intimately with the land. As Settlers, we acknowledge this area as the traditional home the Anishinaabe (the Ojibwe or Chippewa Nation), the Haudenosaunee (the Iroquois, and the Oneida Nation), the Lenape (the Delaware People), the Attawandaron (the Neutral Nation or Algonquin People) and the Wendat (Huron People) who loved and cared for this land. 

All: As a community of faith, we seek to rebuild right relations with the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples, to learn from them, and to live on this land, their land, with respect and gratitude for its creation and Creator. This is our commitment. We pray for the Holy Spirit to breathe healing, justice, hope, and compassion into all our relations.

We hear God’s Word;John 20, 1-18, as read by Phyllis Brady
