The Interchurch Sandwich Project is an initiative that brings together churches of different denominations from across Regina to provide a healthy lunch every Saturday to people in need.  This is Ecumenism in action.  Christ the King Parish this time had a team of eleven volunteers and twelve muffin bakers.  We were the host church on Saturday, May 14th. The team came together in the morning to make the sandwiches in the First Baptist Church’s kitchen.  We packed the lunch bags which included a sandwich, fruit, cheese, juice box, and a homemade muffin. We gathered before the doors opened for introductions and a brief prayer. The team distributed 200 lunch bags to the guests, and we had an opportunity to visit with them as well. Everyone again found this to be a very worthy hands-on project and we learned so much about the less fortunate people in Regina.  This was a benefit to those who volunteered as well as to those they served.

If this is a project that interests you, let me know and CTK can expand the team to be a host parish on an available Saturday to help those in need.

"Ours is a faith of action. The aim of the Social Justice Committee is to make real our biblical and baptismal call to “do justice”, and to “bring good news to the oppressed”

This committee leads parishioners to develop their understanding of social problems and injustices, to commit themselves to action and outreach, and to address both local and global concerns. It is active in refugee support and is a liaison with Development and Peace.
Committee members become involved in a variety of issues, such as environmental stewardship, fair trade, support of charities at home and abroad, inter-church projects, restorative justice and North-South equity. Meetings are held monthly from September through June. New members are welcome to join at any time of the year."

Social Justice members and other volunteers raise funds for various projects by giving garage sales at your home and providing you with a charitable tax receipt.
