Prayers for Peace in Ukraine Wednesday, March 23 at 7:30 pm All are invited to this 30-minute prayer event We are praying for peace in Ukraine, their neighbouring countries, and for peace loving people around the world. We will pray for all people who are suffering the effects of the war - military and civilians who have already lost their lives, those fleeing violence - mostly women, children and vulnerable populations, those who cannot flee, and those in surrounding countries who are offering hospitality to refugees. We pray for peace in turbulent times and we join our hearts in action. Join Scarborough Congregation

Please join us in thanking our friend David Lloyd and sustaining him as he moves into the next phase of his journey with the Community of Christ Seminary at Graceland University. We are sincerely thankful for David’s gift of developing disciples to serve in partnership with Community of Christ in Canada since 2016.
Over the last six years, David has offered online Temple School courses and Ministerial Education and Discipleship Studies (MEADS) courses, both face-to-face and in online formats. Hundreds of disciples in Canada and the US have been blessed by these experiences, especially while classrooms remained closed during the pandemic. David will now serve as the Director of the newly formed Center for Innovation in Ministry and Mission (CIMM), an adult education, non-credit bearing extension of the Community of Christ Seminary at Graceland University. David will continue to offer the Temple School courses under the auspices of the Seminary instead of Developmetrics. Zac Harmon-McLaughlin, Dean of the Community of Christ Seminary, said, “We are excited to have David join our team in making practical ministry and theological education more accessible and tangible for all people. David brings an incredible skill set with him that will make The Center for Innovation in Ministry and Mission a leader in theological adult education and cutting-edge opportunities for leadership development in ministry and mission.” Community of Christ First Presidency Member Stassi Cramm said, “Community of Christ is excited about the leadership development and spiritual formation opportunities for disciples that will be made possible through our partnership with the Center for Innovative Ministry and Mission at the Community of Christ Seminary at Graceland University.” Cramm, who also is a member of Graceland’s Board of Trustees, continued, “We look forward to working with David Lloyd as the new director. He has been an innovator in online leadership development training through his work with Community of Christ in Canada.” The Community of Christ Seminary and Graceland University are lucky to welcome David on their team. We are certain that this will be a true blessing for the future of learning and leadership development in our church. Blessings, David, and our sincere thanks for the ministry you have provided. Thank you as well for the service you will continue to share going forward with the seminary.
