- [Ministry Spotlight | Community Hub](https://www.southviewchurch.com/ministry-spotlight-community-hub/) - Back in the summer we shared about our Community Hub initiative. Since then you've likely seen mention of some of the seminars and event, but we wanted to take a moment to spotlight how these things weave together to create a larger tapestry of community engagement and support. Our vision for the Community Hub is to help people thrive in their communities through creating space for wholistic health, connection, and support. Here is how we've been doing that over the last two months...

- [Ministry Spotlight | SAC Kids Onsite and Online](https://www.southviewchurch.com/ministry-spotlight-sac-kids-onsite-and-online/) - A month ago we added our Sunday, 9AM gathering back into our weekends to help create space at our 11AM gathering as we continue to navigate current capacity restrictions.

- [Midweek Worship | Sole to Soul - A Prayer Walk](https://www.southviewchurch.com/midweek-worship-sole-to-soul-a-prayer-walk/) - For this week's midweek worship, we would like to share a beautiful prayer walk for reconciliation. "Sole to Soul" was developed by the Wechetowin ministry of the Diocese of Rupert's Land as part of their Indigenous Learning Journey.

- [Art from our Community | Mark Michaud](https://www.southviewchurch.com/art-from-our-community-mark-michaud/) - Today we're honoured to share some more art from our community.

- [Midweek Worship | Prayers of the People](https://www.southviewchurch.com/midweek-worship-prayers-of-the-people/) - This past weekend, Shawn lead us in prayers of the people at our services. Let's take a moment now to reflect on these prayers and the great hope we have in that simple refrain: "Lord, hear our prayer."
- [Reflections on Truth & Reconciliation](https://www.southviewchurch.com/reflections-on-truth-reconciliation/) - There are moments when God speaks to us in powerful ways that challenge our assumptions or maybe just shake us up a bit. The discovery of the unmarked grave of 215 children on the grounds of a former residential school in Kamloops has been one of those moments.
- [Midweek Worship | Prayers for Ordinary Time](https://www.southviewchurch.com/midweek-worship-prayers-for-ordinary-time/) - During each week of Ordinary Time, our gatherings begin with a video to draw us together into a collective posture of worship. The video itself has many images that we hope will prompt different thoughts, feelings, ideas and responses that can illuminate what God may be inviting us into during this season. For this week’s Midweek Worship, we’ve invited a handful of our pastors and staff to reflect and meditate on a single image from the Gathering Video and to respond with a prayer for this Ordinary Time. These prayers come from Brett, Mary, Jesus, James and Fernando.
- [Midweek Worship | The Promise of Life - A Prayer](https://www.southviewchurch.com/midweek-worship-the-promise-of-life-a-prayer/) - Also this week on Youtube & Instagram, we invited you to take a moment to pray with the full version of the adapted prayer that is part of our current Call to Listen. The original prayer is from the folks at Joy in Enough and it is a prayer that prompts reflection. It's always a good time to be still and listen for the whispered vision of a new way of life.
- [Midweek Worship | Psalm 23 Meditation](https://www.southviewchurch.com/midweek-worship-psalm-23-meditation/) - "O Lord, our Shepherd, you have led us into spacious places, where we find living water and rest for our souls." We offer you this visual meditation, not as a piece of content to keep up with, but as an invitation for you to take a moment to be still. Give yourself the gift of a moment to breathe. And when the visual meditation is done, allow yourself to linger with it, listening, before returning to all that this day has for you.
- [A Statement from the Alliance Canada on the Kamloops Residential School](https://www.southviewchurch.com/a-statement-from-the-alliance-canada-on-the-kamloops-residential-school/) - The Christian and Missionary Alliance in Canada profoundly grieves the recent revelation of the deaths of 215 indigenous children in Kamloops, B.C.

- [Art from Our Community | "Reset"](https://www.southviewchurch.com/art-from-our-community-reset/) - Over the last few couple of months we have been so thrilled to share works by artists from our church community on Instagram.
