From Feb 23 - March 30 2025 we are undertaking a short term project to collect stories
from our congregation, groups affiliated with RHUC and the broader community, about
the pulse of this faith community and our impact both within and outside our walls. We
want to explore the ways we endeavour, as Jesus taught us, to live love within our
community and in the world and why RHUC, our ministries and sharing community
space matter in these turbulent times.
This project is intended to help us claim and memorialize our stories, how we see
ourselves and how others see us.
Over the next few weeks, you are invited to submit a story about why RHUC matters
to you. It could be completed by individuals, families or on behalf of groups.
There are many ways to do this. It could be written narrative or a poem,
audio or a video or a piece of art/craft! Your submission could be in English or another
language.
