We give thanks to our Creator and Lord for the ability to gather and work here in the grace and peace of Jesus Christ. We acknowledge with respect that this is the traditional territory of the Lekwungen and WSÁNEĆ peoples, original caretakers of this land. We thank them for their gracious welcome. As they have walked gently here for many generations, we seek to do the same in service to the many peoples who now share it and call it home.
