 A postcard from the Canada West Mission Centre President Team.
What we loved about conference: Becky: Being together! Great fellowship, food and fun! FABULOUS!! Kat: Wearing George Allen’s name tag! Gwyn: Renewed relationships and new relationships. “Make new friends, but keep the old…” Shannon: Seeing so many familiar faces in person, and walking the ravine with old and new friends.

 A moment with your Mission Centre President, by Shannon McAdam.
As our Mission Centre Conference approaches, we know you might have some last-minute questions! Here’s a Q&A from your Mission Centre President Team to make sure you’re ready, whether you’re attending in person or online: Is it too late to come to Edmonton? Not too late! You can still REGISTER HERE. Where can I find the documents for the business meeting? You can find those in our CONFERENCE HUB. How do I get the link to join on Zoom? You’ll find the links to participate live in selected events in our CONFERENCE HUB. Will every event be on Zoom? No, some events will only be available in-person in Edmonton. You’ll know if a session is online if it has the “JOIN ONLINE SESSION” link in the Conference Hub. Do I have to be a delegate to vote? No, anyone who is a member in Canada West can have voice and vote in our conference business meeting. I have another question that isn’t answered here, who should I ask? You can email any member of our Mission Centre President team, or our conference coordinator, Debra.  The Express Program for our 2024 Mission Centre Conference is now available on our Conference Hub. On this page, you’ll find all the relevant information about the event. Please take a moment to review the schedule and important documents ahead of time, including the business meeting agenda and financial report.

Our MCP Team can't wait to see you in person in Edmonton for our conference! Here are a few reasons why we are excited: Gwyn: Fall is settling in and it’s time to sit down together and have a nice hot beverage and a great conversation about the BRIGHT HOPE that I see in our future! I’ll save a seat for you in Edmonton. Kat: I’m looking forward to time spent together at Mission Conference, especially sharing a hymnal during singing and visiting in the lunch line. We’ve been so creative with our online experiences, but now it’s time to embrace one another! Becky: I’m looking forward to connecting at our fall conference in Edmonton. It’s good to get together on zoom, it’s fantastic if you can make it in person. Hope to see you there! Shannon: I cannot wait to look out into the congregation in Edmonton and see your beautiful faces that radiate the love and care you have for our community. And there's nothing like sharing a meal together and chatting about things we'd probably never talk about on Zoom! So join us in Edmonton September 27-29!  Edith Wallace will be our special musical guest at Mission Conference in Edmonton Saturday September 28th. The last time Edith performed for us in Edmonton was in 2019.
