whatsup.doc issue#004news and views beyond the pews Whatsup.dot this week focuses on the Calls to Action Scavenger Hunt, November 6. James Bay United Church is a key sponsor/organizer and we know that you will want to be involved. 'Little did we know when we first envisioned the event that it would at the same time become this incredible journey of discovery on another level. Each week, as part of our Land Acknowledgement, I ask, “What do you know of the land and its inhabitants and their ways before you came to be here?” It turns out this event is an amazing way to learn more about that.'
