 In the last quarter of 2023, Troy Roach (my colleague in Canada East) and I, discovered that many people aren’t aware of the things we’re doing in Creating Connection, and some still weren’t aware of the program at all! This came as quite a surprise to Troy and me because we’ve felt like we were screaming our lungs out for the last several years. It was Dar Shepherdson, Bishop of Canada, who suggested we become more ‘Evangelical’ in our sharing with Community of Christ in Canada, so that my friends is Creating Connection’s New Years Resolution. Last year in Canada West, I pulled back from some of the online programing I was doing to focus on in-person activities and work with individual congregations. Most congregations have not seen church attendance return to pre-pandemic levels so we want you to know that Creating Connection is here for you and can offer support with outreach and programming. This is also an excellent way to invite people who haven’t attended church in a while to meaningful but non-churchy events. We use a platform called Meetup.com to advertise to people outside the church and you can have a look through the links below to see what’s happening in some cities in western Canada. You’ll notice the online events are posted on all our Meetup pages. The in-person events will only appear in that city, except for retreats. If your congregation or small group (non-residents) are interested, I would love to do an online presentation about Creating Connection. After that, I would be happy to visit you and do some in-person events in your community so you can see live examples. And finally, I would like to invite you to attend our ‘Nurturing Creativity of the Soul’ retreat at Stillwood Campground near Chilliwack March 8-10. Lana Cullis is our special guest facilitator. The cost is $275 per person which includes accommodations, 6 meals, and all supplies. The early bird rate of $225 is available until January 28th, so please book soon. For more information and to register go to www.NurturingSpirit.CreatingConnection.ca Looking forward to connecting with you soon!
