Today our staff and volunteers wore their Orange shirts in observation of National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.

We acknowledge that Simcoe Community Church gathers and serves on the traditional and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Haudenosaunee peoples.

We recognize the Indigenous peoples who have cared for this land, and we honour their enduring presence, cultures, languages, and communities.

As followers of Jesus, we are called to pursue reconciliation, to seek justice, to love our neighbours, and to care faithfully for the world God has entrusted to us. May our acknowledgement be more than words, and may it lead us toward greater understanding, humility, relationship, and action.

We give thanks for those who have gone before us, for those who live and serve in this community today, and for the opportunity to seek a future marked by peace, dignity, and reconciliation.
