A New Day
​Calls for New Measures

Without a doubt we can say that in the last couple of months our world has been turned upside down. All that seemed so simple and innocent, is now different, difficult, and even suspect.
 
The decision to cancel the in-person event this year is necessary to be extra careful with your health and safety. Mission conference is the extreme opposite of the physical distancing we are experiencing right now. Protecting the well being of our membership must take priority, which in turn protects everyone else out in the public.
 
We know that with detailed ‘intention’, everything we do is meant to build community, affirm our identity, and strengthen our spiritual formation. The conference experience lifts this up and carries us into the journey ahead while helping to shed burdens of the past.  Lessons, values, and relationships developed, remain with us for years to come.  It is a place of hope and a place of connection with each other and with God.
 
We are profoundly disappointed we will not see that experience shared this year.
 
Our Plan Moving Forward
We have not given up!  Its time to step out of the box and find God in new places.  Its time for us to be imaginative, to find creative ways to connect and grow.  And while screen time is not our thing, we hope you’ll join us online for an adapted event like we have never experienced before. Anticipate new and creative ways to engage in the “business” of our Mission Centre.  More details will be announced soon. 
 
We will laugh and play and sing together. 
We will be a people creating sacred community.
 
We look forward to one day in the future when we can gather face-to-face once again. That is the optimism that we hold onto right now. In the meantime, thank you for your compassionate understanding, loving support, and kind appreciation of what we do, how we do it, and who we are.

​Let’s make the best of all we have right now with the finest of all we are together.
Expect inspiring experiences via virtual means this summer and beyond.​

Mission. Connection. Expression

A shared experience for all and better than ever before! 

IN-PERSON GATHERING CANCELLED

As the world ponders what a post-pandemic future is beginning to look like, the CEM Conference planning team and Mission Centre are committed to protecting the health and safety of everyone, and that means making the hard decision to cancel this year's in-person gathering planned for Ziontario Campgrounds at the end of August. This announcement is in alignment with CEM's position on 2020 summer events recently communicated to members. At this time, ideas and plans for an online event are being adapted for an October date as we anticipate new and creative ways of conducting church business and remaining connected as a church community in this new reality.
