Season 7 trailer!

Welcome to Season 7 of Undercurrents!

Well, once again, if you only look at headlines, the world is a raging dumpster fire. We’ve got trade wars, we’ve got genocide, we’ve got catostrophic flooding and wildfires, billionaires and unhoused people, the list goes on.

At times like this, a prayer made famous by Alcoholics Anonymous comes to mind:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

This season, we are going to lean into that second part: the "courage to change the things I can" - to reclaim our power as people of God’s peace.

We’ll dive deeper into the theme of peace - what are the ways that we can take action to build peace in the many facets of our own lives - in our lifestyles, our money, our neighbourhood, and even our federal government.
