Mission Conference in Vancouver
It’s time to register for Mission Conference in Vancouver September 1-3!
Early start and Monday Workshop Please note our optional early start time on Friday this year, and our workshop on the Monday following Mission Conference with Jan Kraybill, principle organist at the temple in Independence. This workshop is designed for presiders and musicians to help you with music in your worship services. It takes place from 10:30 to 2:30 on Monday September 4th and includes lunch. Please register for this with an email to me, debra@communityofchrist.ca
Register It is important you register for Mission Conference as early as possible so we can provide food for everyone and have enough teachers for the children’s classes. If you have food allergies, please advise us when you register.
Youth and Young Adults There will be a youth off site activity on Friday evening, and a young adult off site activity on Friday night. Please let me know if you or your children plan to attend either of these so we can provide transportation.
Hotel As of today, we have 10 rooms left at the Accent Inns at our group rate of 149.99 per night (booking code 5304406). We have a selection of 2 Queen beds, or 1 King bed. Other than our reserved rooms, the hotel only has no availability for that weekend. Our rooms will be released to the public on August 2nd. If you would like to stay at the hotel, we recommend you book soon.
Looking forward to a great Mission Conference,
Debra Donohue
