This summer Two Rivers Church had the pleasure of sponsoring two students, Sember Wood and Ben Wallace, in developing a video series highlighting local stories of goodness in Guelph. Over the next number of weeks and months, we’ll be sharing videos from their series on our blog. Here’s their introduction to the project:
The Goodness Project Guelph
Created by Ben Wallace and Sember Wood
Sponsored by Two Rivers Church
The Goodness Project is a video series about how people connect and feel fully alive in our city. We’ve tried to visit the places that are often overlooked, connect to the spiritual sources of beauty, and make sense of how we can still work towards goodness despite brokenness, injustice, and the negative impacts of a pandemic.
Stories of Our City
Short interviews of people from all walks of life: waitresses, musicians, administrators, dog walkers, and everyone in between. We’ve talked with people from across the city to find out what they love about Guelph, how they’re involved, and where they’re hopeful for change.
Thin Places
Eight meditative videos that view locations in our city in a new light. Each video starts with a quotation to prompt thought and reflection. Some of the places featured should be familiar to most people who call Guelph home, but some may be more unorthodox. If you watch all eight in order, you should get a sense of time progressing through the day from sunrise to sunset.
