MANITOBA AND NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO CONFERENCE
- The following is an important message that received from Coral Meggison who is the Secretary of Assiniboine Presbytery concerning the Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario Conference Annual Meeting Final Worship Service at University of Manitoba on Sunday, May 27th in Winnipeg. Since this Conference will be the last one before the new structure of The United Church of Canada takes place in January 2019, it would be an opportunity for people from our congregation to see the Final Worship Service on May 27th. Assiniboine Presbytery would like to know the number of people who will be attending the service including the Minister. Rev. Taylor has registered, and she will be at the Conference in Winnipeg from Wednesday, May 23rd – Monday, May 28th 2018.
- As well, Twila MacNair who is the Young Adults & Youth Program Coordinator sent an email concerning the Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario Conference Annual Meeting, May 24th-27th as a chance for youth in our congregations to connect with other youth while also connecting with some adults of the church. Each youth is assigned to a table group along with people of all ages. The content of the conference tends to centre around discussing the work of the church and making decisions to help us continue this work in our congregations and in the wider United Church of Canada. This is an opportunity for our youth to be involved in The United Church of Canada. Since this Conference will be the last one before the new structure of The United Church of Canada takes place in January 2019, it would be an opportunity for youth from our congregation to be involved in the Conference and network. Registration Deadline is April 30, 2018.
