Crossroads Village

Correction Notice: Crossroads United Church would like to correct information contained in a September 27 article in the Kingston Whig Standard regarding the Crossroads Village project with Our Livable Solutions. The article stated that a lease with the church was not finalized. However, a lease between Crossroads United and OLS was signed Aug. 21 and then ratified by the Eastern Central Ontario Regional Council of the United Church of Canada on Sept. 3, 2024. The lease has been in effect since then.

Current Status: However, the project is currently on hold due to a funding issue involving the ability of OLS to cover staffing costs. Until OLS can resolve this issue, transferring the cabins and common module construction are unable to proceed, since staffing is a critical component of the plan. We are now waiting to hear what further steps can be taken in order to make our dream into a reality.

Background: At a meeting in early June, the Crossroads congregation voted to begin negotiations to lease a portion of its unpaved back lot to Our Livable Solutions to be used to situate up to 18 cabins. A service module with kitchen, laundry and washroom facilities would be included to form a community called "Crossroads Village". The lease would run for up to 10 years, giving some stability to the project which so far has had to move twice every year.

ARTICLE UPDATE on the Crossroads Village project - October 2024

Truth and Reconciliation Calls to ActionTruth and Reconciliation

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established in 2008 to document the history and impacts of the Canadian Indian residential school system on indigenous students and their families. Its final report was issued in 2015. In light of the recent revelations of gravesites identified on the grounds of former Indigenous Residential Schools, this is a good time to have a closer look at the Calls to Action (part of the larger report) that were put forward at that time.

About the season: Ordinary Time
When: From the Sunday after Pentecost (Pentecost = May 19 in 2024) until the beginning of Advent (Dec 1 in 2024).
Colour: GREEN
About the Date: "Ordinary" comes from "ordinal" which means "counting" as we count the Sundays to Advent
Meaning: As crops slowly grow in the fields, this time between the major holy seasons in the church provides a time in which we can grow our faith, and then turn our focus to the mission of the church in the world. In the United Church of Canada, the part of this season between Labour Day and the first Sunday of Advent has also recently been called the "Season of Creation" as an opportunity to consider our blessings that come from the Earth that we depend on.
