Everyone who has played it agrees: "Poverty Is No Game" is a powerful exercise for understanding what it is really like to live in poverty. This board game puts participants into the shoes of a person who struggles to meet their basic expenses, and it includes a debriefing about the issues involved. This is a great way to deepen you awareness of poverty issues. Why not organize a "Poverty Is No Game" event at your parish? Social Justice and Advocacy Committee member the Rev. Kyn Barker will lead you through this process.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS MARCH 15!!!
8:30 Registration and refreshments, workshop 9:00 - 11:00, 11:00 - 12:00 reflections.
This event is being hosted by the Centre for Excellence in Christian Education (CECE), which is housed at
St. John's, York Mills
19 Don Ridge Dr
Toronto, ON M2P 1H3.

Happy New Year!
We have been busy at CECE taking inventory and catologuing material resources with more to be done.
This month we are pleased to have the help of Liz Gilbert, a parishioner from Church of the Messiah, who has librarian skills and knowledge to assist us in progressing with the set up of the CECE.
The Godly Play workshops held last month were well received by those who attended. There is to be one more on February 19th that will focus on stories for Advent - more info to follow.
Please note the appeal below from the Rev'd Dawn Leger from Holy Trinity Aurora asking for input re programs or curricula for children or youth in the church:
Do you write your own youth and kids programs?
I am into two months of writing a program for our kids and youth groups to parallel our preaching series, Shedding Some Light. I’m borrowing (with credit) from a few sources, but mostly sitting at my desk contemplating my computer screen.
Do you regularly write your own program? Would you be interested in exchanging some ideas, having a sounding board, being a sounding board, and collaborating a bit? I would love to hear from you. You can email me at dawnleger@gmail.com or leave a comment below.
