SUMMARY:Flourishing: Spend a day with the Moderator
DESCRIPTION:Flourishing: Antler River\, Western Ontario Waterways\, and Horseshoe Falls Regional Councils \nSpend a day with the Moderator\, engaging in reflection and energizing activities towards dream-oriented actions for our churches and communities. \nSaturday\, February 22\, 2025\, 9:00 am to 4:30 pm (local time). \n9:00am -9:30am Registration and coffee/tea \n9:30am – Welcome and Introductions \nIn person \nAvondale United Church\, 194 Avondale Ave.\, Stratford\, ON N5A 6N4 \nAll around the world – from universities to the United Nations\, from corporations to community organizations – people are talking about flourishing. Rooted in belonging\, flourishing means living with purpose and joy\, and bringing bold collaborative solutions to our world’s challenges. \nThe Moderator\, the Rev. Dr. Carmen Lansdowne\, wants to bring that conversation to The United Church of Canada. She invites us to connect to one another in hope\, with a deep conviction by a belief that\, despite all the challenges of church life in this day and age\, we can move from despair to transformation – from languishing to flourishing. \nIs your church flourishing? \n(Perhaps that’s the wrong question.) \nIs your church contributing to the flourishing of your community? \nHow might we truly be a flourishing church in the world? How might we live in deep spirituality\, bold discipleship and daring justice\, linked from coast to coast to coast in ministry that transforms us and the world around us? \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER: Flourishing Workshop

SUMMARY:Ask An Expert
DESCRIPTION:We’re trying something new. We’re introducing an Ask An Expert series in partnership with the General Council Office. You ask the questions\, and we’ll provide the expertise. \nWho are the experts? Well\, it depends on the topic and staff availability. \nMaybe you want to know more about the insurance partnership between the GCO and Communities of Faith. Or what you do when the local newspaper calls (or when you want to get a good story out). Or what the new government relations officer does. Or what the cost-of-living-adjustment is. \nIt’s kind of like a Pick-Your-Own-Adventure book. Here’s how it works: \n1. You send us your questions here: https://forms.office.com/r/q7UM9spU9z \n2. We find the expert who can answer them. \n3. We all tune in on Wednesday September 18th\, 7-8 p.m. by Zoom here: https://united-church.zoom.us/j/89972136949 \n4. As many questions will be answered as can be within the allotted time. Unanswered questions will carry over to the next session\, or we’ll answer them on our Regional Council Facebook group. \n5. Tough questions are okay. We’ll do our best to answer them\, and if we can’t on the spot\, we’ll follow up with the right information. \nSo\, pick your adventure. Will it be insurance? Or grants? Climate justice? Governance? Media relations? Government relations? Global partnerships? Or something else? \nYou pick. Ask your question here: https://forms.office.com/r/q7UM9spU9z.  Join us on Wednesday September 18th at 7 p.m. to get an answer in real time. Don’t have a question right now? Listeners welcome! \nThis session will be facilitated by: Michelle Owens
