Get God 2016/17
Greatness, Education, Training - Goals, Outreach, Discipleship
Please join us in welcoming our 2016/17 Get God participant Lisa Wingfield from Meadow Ridge BC. Lisa has been attending church in Meadow Ridge for the past seven years and was baptized in September of last year.
Lisa is looking forward to learning new skills that will help her become a leader in the Meadow Ridge congregation.
One of her teachers, Darrell Belrose, has inspired her to bring back the 'Flow Weekends' as a spiritual and outreach opportunity. Please keep Lisa in your prayers as she embarks on this year long project to better herself for the benefit of her congregation.
From all of us in the Canada West Mission Centre, welcome aboard Lisa!

Doctrine and Covenants
Now Includes Section 165
We're excited to announce that the Doctrine and Covenants e-book for Amazon devices and apps has been updated to include Section 165. This new section was approved by the 2016 World Conference of Community of Christ.
If you have previously purchased the entire e-book, a standalone version of Section 165 is also available.
Here is the link for “Community of Christ in Canada for Amazon.ca ” to make purchases and have up to 8.5% returned to the Canadian church.

Mission Conference
Supports Human Rights!
A big “Thank you” goes out to all those at the September 2016 CWM Mission Conference who helped support the Amnesty International actions. There were 7 pre-printed letters sent by our youth, who drew encouraging pictures on them! As well, two petitions received 29 signatures. Such actions can provide hope and sometimes release for those unfairly jailed, tortured or disappeared!
In addition another big thank you goes to the youth who helped “bug” the adults in Rod’s Sunday session!
Thanks, Rod

Community of Christ App for Android and IOS
Community of Christ launched an app for Android and iOS devices. The app is available for download from Google Play and the App Store on iTunes.
With the Community of Christ app, you can read daily spiritual devotions, watch inspiring videos, stay in touch with mission happening around the world, and much more.
The app development was funded through the generous offerings received during the USA National Conference after event expenses were met.
