Men’s Retreat at Hills of Peace
The Thirteenth Annual Men's Retreat was held at Hills of Peace Campground on September 28 to 30.
Our guest minister was John Vanderwalker,
who is currently the Samish Island Campgroud Manager.
It was slightly cooler than usual. (But NO snow!)
Men from Alberta and Saskatchewan attended, plus one transient moose.
Thanks to everyone for their participation and support.
(It looks like the men were Moose-ivated)

World Conference April 6-13, 2019
If you would like to be a Canada West Mission delegate, you must register with Debra by February 1, 2019.
We currently have room for ten more delegates and 33 alternates.
2019 World Conference Delegate Registration Fees
to be Reimbursed by Mission Centre!
This is for the information of any member considering being a delegate from the Canada West Centre to the 2019 World Conference, scheduled for April 6 to 13, 2019.
This will be a special conference. Besides the usual business of the church, there will be special celebrations in honour of the 25th anniversary of the dedication of the Community of Christ Temple in Independence, Missouri.
The Canada West Mission Centre will once again assist delegates with the registration fee for the conference. We do not know for sure what that fee will be. In 2016 it was $140 in US funds, which converted to an average of about $190 Canadian at that time.
Undertaking the responsibility of being a delegate to World Conference includes a significant financial commitment. Although a small portion of total expenses, the Canada West Mission Centre is pleased to be able to provide this assistance.
Please consider your availability to serve as a World Conference Delegate. Any confirmed member in good standing is eligible. There is no age requirement and no priesthood requirement. Advise Debra Donohue debra@communityofchrist.ca of your interest as soon as possible

Canada West registrations are open for:

If you have registered online and did not receive a confirmation e-mail OR if you need assistance with the new registration system,
please contact Lisa Neudorf 1-877-411-2632, ext 5.
