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
